Hobart tips and results

Sorell Eagles presents as the most reliable winning chance based on recent form trajectory and track/distance suitability. While stepping up to 1600m for the first time, the slow predicted tempo and proven stamina breeding (Alpine Eagle sire) suggest the distance extension is manageable.

The half-length second at this track 14 days ago, combined with extensive trial preparation, suggests readiness to break through. However, barrier 10 is problematic at Hobart where inside-to-middle draws dominate. The gelding must overcome the wide gate and settle closer than typical maiden pattern. Strong each-way value given the upside, but the draw prevents outright favouritism over Don Turboas.

Our price $6.00 · SP $7.00 · Bulent Muhcu

Gold Tianna is the ultimate maiden bridesmaid with three consecutive seconds, but the pattern suggests placement ability rather than winning capacity. The gelding's soft-track form and Hobart record are strong, but barrier 9 and the moderate tempo create tactical concerns. Needs to settle closer than recent pattern to threaten, and the 1200m distance drop may not suit the staying-bred Highland Reel type. Solid each-way chance but lacks the tactical edge of the top two selections.

Our price $3.50 · SP $2.60 · Erica Byrne Burke

The Cotton stable has prepared her well with two trials, and the gear change (nose roll off) suggests they're looking for improvement. Her form was trending upward (9-5-6) before the spell, and barrier 8 allows her to settle in the on-pace positions that dominate at Hobart. Byrne Burke's 16% strike rate at the track is a positive. While first-up record is unproven, the trial form is compelling.

Our price $7.00 · SP $14.00 · Georgie Catania

The 604-day spell is a major concern, but the inside barrier (2) is crucial at Hobart and allows her to settle on-pace where winners come from. The Catania/Keys combination has a 7% strike rate, and the jockey's 12% strike rate at Hobart suggests she can navigate the tight circuit. While the extreme spell and lack of wins are negatives, the gear change and barrier draw create an upset scenario.

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.00 · Sam Kennedy

Lawrenny Boys is the most reliable form runner in the race. He handles Soft ground exceptionally well (12 starts, 1 win, 4 seconds, 2 thirds) and has been in consistent form with placings in three of his last four starts, including a close third in this same class three weeks ago. Barrier 3 and the on-pace bias at Hobart suit him ideally.

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.50 · Hayley Mc Carthy

Bella Chinkara has an excellent record over this track and distance, with one win and two seconds from four runs, and all placings have come on Soft ground. She has a good first-up record including a win, and she drops markedly in class from Group/Open company. The main concerns are the long spell and a jockey with a low overall strike rate.

Our price $10.00 · SP $17.00 · Christopher Pang

Fruit Of De Vine ran an eye-catching second in this same class two weeks ago, beaten less than a length after making ground. She gets a huge weight advantage (51.5kg with claim) and a peach barrier 2 that should allow her to settle forward. She is still lightly raced and improving. Each-way value.

Our price $4.50 · SP $7.50 · Erica Byrne Burke

Zambezi Blonde presents a mixed profile. His Hobart record (5:1-1-1) and soft track form (5:1-1-1) are positives, and the 28-day break since a disappointing 5th suggests freshness. The barrier 4 draw allows him to settle in the critical midfield position in a slow tempo. However, the distance rise to 1390m is a significant query—he's never won beyond 1200m and his last start at this track/distance saw him fade to 5th.

Our price $5.50 · SP $16.00 · Codi Jordan

The barrier 1 draw is crucial in a slow-tempo race with no genuine leaders—he can control from the front and dictate terms. His soft track form (3:1-0-1) is proven, and the synthetic dominance (2:1-1-0) suggests tactical versatility. The main concerns are the distance rise to 1390m (unproven) and moderate Hobart record, but his progressive profile and race setup override these negatives.

Our price $3.00 · SP $3.50 · Codi Jordan

The inside barrier suits his forward racing pattern, and the established Jordan/Stevenson combination (23% strike rate) adds confidence. Class-suited returning to the level where he won last preparation, and the 4yo profile suggests continued improvement.

Our price $4.50 · SP $5.50 · Bree Temple

While the 1100m is untested, his racing pattern suggests he can adapt, and the inside-to-middle barrier (6) allows tactical flexibility. The 3kg claim from Temple is significant, bringing him down to 54.5kg, and his improving trajectory (recent form shows consistent placings) suggests he's racing into peak fitness. Not the most likely winner, but a genuine threat with strong place prospects.

Our price $9.00 · SP $8.00 · Christopher Pang

The inside barrier (5) is crucial given the track bias favouring positions 1-6, and the Pang/Dargan combination (25% strike rate) adds confidence. However, her overall strike rate (6%) and inconsistent form pattern suggest she's not the most reliable, and the 1100m distance is slightly untested. Best suited as a place chance or saver in exotics, with upside if the race unfolds to suit her on-pace style.

Our price $5.00 · SP $6.00 · Chloe Wells

Bayside rarely runs a bad race and has placed at this level multiple times. He maps well from barrier 4 and should be in the finish again.

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.50 · Christopher Pang

Regal Hunter is lightly raced and showed promise winning his maiden on soft. From barrier 1 and with light weight, he can settle on the speed and improve.

Our price $8.00 · SP $4.60 · Bree Temple

Tassie Power represents the improving type stepping up in class off a last-start Hobart win. The gelding's soft track form (70% place rate) and Hobart record (64% place rate) are strong positives, while the 54kg weight provides a genuine advantage over the top-weighted runners. The class rise is a concern, but the recent win suggests upward trajectory.

Our price $6.00 · SP $14.00 · Bulent Muhcu

However, the 171-day spell and poor first-up statistics (0 wins from 3) are significant concerns. The last-start BM68 win on Soft 5 at Longford demonstrates current ability, and the inside barrier 2 is ideal for settling on-pace. The gelding's 80% place rate at this track/distance combination suggests strong familiarity.

Our price $3.20 · SP $2.60 · Bree Temple

Flying Billie is the standout selection based on last-start dominance at this exact track/distance in higher grade. The drop from BM76 to BM68 is significant, and the horse's Hobart 1390m record (44% win rate, 67% place rate) is exceptional. While the jockey booking is unproven and the weight rise is a minor concern, class and suitability overwhelm these negatives.

Our price $7.50 · SP $10.00 · Bulent Muhcu

The February win here in BM68 on soft demonstrates capability at this level, and the last-start 3rd shows the mare is finding form again. The soft-track record is solid, and the Hobart place rate (38%) is strong. The inside barrier allows settling on-pace where winners come from. However, the poor jockey/trainer combination (4% strike rate) and overall low win rate (10%) are significant concerns.
