However, the complete absence of form on soft tracks (0 placings from 4 starts) is concerning given today's Soft 5 conditions.
A Queens Buzz offers each-way value with improving form and proven suitability for track and distance. Recent placings show she's finding her range, and the combination with in-form jockey Codi Jordan adds appeal. The 1400m distance has produced her best efforts with two placings from four attempts. While winless, her consistency at this level makes her a solid each-way proposition.
His consistent placing record shows reliability, and the strong jockey booking suggests connections believe he can break through.

Two placings from three attempts at 1200m shows distance suitability. Trainer S Gandy and jockey Ulucinar combine at 18% strike rate. Fresh from recent trials and dropping significantly in class from Open company. Strong value despite favouritism.
Improving gelding with two recent placings including close third at Launceston. Well-drawn in barrier 2 to settle on-speed which suits Hobart's bias. Trainer Blacker and jockey Sanderson combine well. Represents solid each-way value despite winless record.
Debutant with significant unknowns but several positives. Barrier 1 is ideal for Hobart's inside bias, and minimum weight of 53kg provides advantage. Jockey Lane riding at 20% strike rate recently.
Three-year-old gelding second up from spell where horses typically improve. Trainer Bazan and jockey Pires combine at 12% strike rate. Has soft track experience and showed improvement last start.

The booking of in-form Erica Byrne Burke from the ideal barrier 2 position suggests stable confidence. While the overall record is modest, the recent form trend and track conditions align perfectly.
Live On Love brings the strongest credentials with a perfect Hobart record and recent winning form.
Crystal Moonbeam offers the best combination of soft track ability and local knowledge. The mare's Hobart record is excellent and she's proven on the surface. The class rise is a concern but her recent form suggests she's ready for the step up.

Consistent placings at Class 1 level and strong jockey booking suggest competitive chance. The lack of recent wins is a concern but the form trend is positive.
Last start winner at this exact track and distance with a good barrier draw. The jockey/horse combination has a 25% strike rate and should settle in a forward position. Class rise is significant but the recent win provides confidence.
Consistent performer with strong recent placings and excellent track record.

Kevin Sharkie (Bm64)
Reservoir Dog showed excellent form when a close second at this exact distance in BM68 company last start. The gelding has a strong distance record and is clearly improving, with the experienced Erica Byrne Burke (17% strike rate at Hobart) taking the ride. Despite the wide draw, his recent form and distance suitability make him the standout.
Moorlands Miss has been running consistently in stronger BM68 company and drops back to BM64 level here. Her Hobart record is solid and she handles soft conditions well. The wide barrier is a concern but her class edge and recent form make her a strong chance.
Tideford won at this distance two starts back and has been running well in easier company. His soft track record is excellent and the Ulucinar/Laskey combination is in good form. The class rise is a concern but his recent form and conditions suit make him competitive.
Her Hobart record is strong and the inside barrier is a major advantage.

Her soft track record is solid and she's proven at Hobart. The combination with in-form jockey Ulucinar adds confidence, despite the slight class rise.
The wide barrier is a major concern at Hobart where on-pace runners dominate, but her class and distance suitability keep her competitive.
Geegeehailstorm brings consistency and a perfect barrier draw for Hobart's on-pace bias. While her winning strike rate is poor, her recent placings and track/distance suitability make her a solid each-way chance.
Obviously Good offers value as a last-start winner with excellent soft track credentials.

Ott Showcase Race Day April 26th Hcp (C1)
Genuine Lady brings the strongest recent form with a convincing maiden win at Launceston last start. The step up to Class 1 is significant, but her improving trajectory and proven 1400m ability make her the most reliable winning chance. Erica Byrne Burke's strong Hobart record adds confidence.
Toganmain represents the classic first-up improver dropping significantly in class. The class drop makes him a genuine threat if fit.
The class rise and distance drop create mixed signals. Represents the 'obvious' chance that may be vulnerable to improvers.
