Hobart Race 4

Ladbrokes Zoom H Division2

Prize Money: $3,745

MIDNIGHT GRAND (2) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by 4.5 lengths at Launceston in a handy 15.91 beating Once A Dream. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Hard to go past. WILLOW CAN (7) is an honest type in the frame at seven of 24 starts including last time when second (15.92) over 278m at Launceston. Has never been beaten off this draw. Meets a moderate line up and should run well. SPIDER PIG (1) continues to race well, filling the minors at the last three starts, the latest at this track in 19.42. Has a good record here including four wins. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. ASTON MAPLE (4) racing over this course and distance brings the best out in her.

Eye-catching performance to post a big 4.5 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at Launceston, recording a powerful 15.91 over the 278m journey. In form and looks tough to beat again.

Goes well at this track and trip. At the last start finished 5th over 278m at Launceston beaten 4 lengths (16.33) behind Aston Donna in a Grade 3/4 on April 22. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Last start finished fifth on April 28 over 278m at Launceston behind Make It Pop, beaten 6 lengths (16.31) in a Other. Not keen, needs to lift.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 1.3 lengths second over 278m Launceston in 15.92. Has a solid record from this draw, including three wins. Expected to go well.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (16.59) over 278m at Launceston. Has a wide draw to navigate and looks safely held.
