Hobart tips and results

Our price $5.50 · SP $7.00 · Chloe Wells

She should be improved second-up and maps to settle handy. The step to 1200m is a query but her on-pace style is perfect for Hobart. Strong each-way chance.

Our price $6.00 · SP $4.60 · Erica Byrne Burke

While he can place, he is not the most likely winner given the faster Unfiltered. Value lies elsewhere.

Our price $10.00 · SP $15.00 · Sheridan Clarke

Black Raptor comes off a second placing on a Good track and returns from a spell with the inside gate.

Our price $8.00 · SP $12.00 · Christopher Pang

Nicalbi has shown an ability to handle this course and distance, running a close third at 1380m two starts back. He followed that with a solid 4th on the synthetic. He maps to settle midfield and can make ground late. The main query is his lack of a win, but the race is wide open and he has claims.

Our price $5.00 · SP $10.00 · Sheridan Clarke

The Little Bay has turned a corner lately, posting 2nd, 3rd, and 4th at Hobart. He gets a good barrier and has shown he can handle 1600m.

The Little Bay has turned a corner lately, posting 2nd, 3rd, and 4th at Hobart. He gets a good barrier and has shown he can handle 1600m.

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.50 · Erica Byrne Burke

Verhoeven is the most reliable form runner in the race. His recent second in Class 2 behind a smart horse signals fitness and class. Erica Byrne Burke is riding at career-best strike and knows the horse. He maps to settle midfield/on-pace and should be strong late. The moderate tempo favours his running style.

Our price $5.50 · SP $6.00 · Anthony Darmanin

Geegees Mercedes is building a solid profile with consecutive placings in Class 1 company. She settled well last start and worked home nicely behind a strong winner. Darmanin retains the ride and the draw is ideal. She can sit just off the pace and deliver a bold finish.

Our price $10.00 · SP $16.00 · Troy Baker

Celestial Glow turned a corner last start, finishing strongly for second over this track and trip. She maps beautifully from the inside gate and should settle in the leading division. Troy Baker is riding confidently. She represents strong each-way value in an open race.

Our price $7.00 · SP $6.50 · Hayley Mc Carthy

Just Plain Nuts is the likely leader from barrier 2 and could dictate terms if the moderate tempo holds. His synthetic form is solid and he won his maiden impressively. The query is his first start on turf, but many horses handle the switch. On-pace horses win frequently here.

Our price $5.00 · SP $7.00 · Bree Temple

His first-up stats (2 wins) and ability to run handy from barrier 3 make him the most suitable runner for the pattern.

Our price $3.00 · SP $2.90 · Kirra-Lee Lane

The class drop from Open company is a plus, and barrier 1 should allow a cosy run. She could win but is opposable.

Our price $8.00 · SP $7.50 · Anthony Darmanin

She has a strong second-up record (2 wins) and last start ran 3rd over this track/distance in BM60. The step up in class is a concern, but she gets weight relief and Anthony Darmanin is riding well. If she repeats her recent form, she can fill the placings.

Our price $1.80 · SP $2.20 · Bree Temple

Buzzoffski is the standout on form with 2 wins from 3 starts and a dominant last-start victory at this track. She maps to lead comfortably from barrier 3 in a slow-run race, and the Hobart on-pace bias strongly favours her. The lightweight 52.5kg is a bonus. While the lack of a Good track start is a minor query, her Soft win suggests she handles similar ground. The clear one to beat.

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.60 · Bulent Muhcu

Sh'bourne Midnight is the most reliable form runner in the race, having placed 2nd last start in a BM76 at this very track and distance. He has a strong record at Hobart (5 wins from 10 starts) and at 1380m. Despite rising to Open class, his consistent pattern and light weight make him the clear horse to beat.

Our price $8.00 · SP $19.00 · Erica Byrne Burke

Blonde Star is the classiest runner in the field, having won a Group 3 at Hobart last prep. She drops back to Open company and is reunited with winning jockey Erica Byrne Burke. The query is her poor first-up record and the 144-day spell. If ready to run, she is a major threat, but the risk lowers confidence.

Our price $7.00 · SP $7.00 · Anthony Darmanin

He races on the pace and has strong Hobart form (4 wins). While he hasn't won in nine runs, he's consistently placed and should get every chance from the draw. A strong each-way contender.

Our price $3.50 · SP $8.00 · Kirra-Lee Lane

Eaglefurther is the clear top pick based on a perfect track/distance record (2 wins from 2 starts at Hobart over 1600m) and coming off a strong win in a BM60 over the same course and distance three weeks ago. She maps beautifully from barrier 3 in a moderate tempo race, can settle handy and should be hard to run down. The slight class rise is offset by her low weight and proven ability to handle the tight Hobart circuit.

Our price $9.00 · SP $11.00 · Troy Baker

Reservoir Dog comes off a solid third in the same race that Eaglefurther won, beating most of these home. He gets a significant draw advantage (barrier 2) at a track that heavily favours on-pace runners.
