Hobart Race 4

Smithawards Pace

Prize Money: $9,700

MISTER FINNIGAN (3) finished fifth at Launceston two runs ago before finishing fourth at his latest appearance over 2090m at this track, beaten 13 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Big chance if anywhere near his best. SOUTHERN LUCK (6) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Maintained the impressive form last time when 24 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. Primary contender based on those recent efforts. MISTA EAGLE (4) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1680m at Launceston last time out. MONEYS NO ISSUE (1) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 2200m at Launceston. Has each-way claims.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (Sr4) over 2200m at Launceston beaten 35 m by Zahra Lou (2:42.70) in NR 55 to 64 on June 23 at $101. Before that was restrained when 6th (Fr6) over 2200m at Launceston beaten 35 m by Indelible (2:42.40) in NR 65 to 74 on June 9 at $51. Can't recommend.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr1) over 1680m at Launceston, beaten 7 m by Kivik (2:03.00) in NR 65 to 79 on June 23 at $26. Showed ability the race before when posted a big 4 m win (Sr1) at this track (1:58.70) beating Will He Pike in NR 56 to 63 on June 16 at $2.50. Nicely placed to take this out.

Last start 9th (Fr5) over 1680m at Launceston, beaten 18 m by Kivik (2:03.00) in NR 65 to 79 on June 23 at $81. Two runs back 8th (Fr4) over 2200m at Launceston, beaten 45 m by Pardoe Plugga (2:41.90) in NR 70 to 79 on April 21 at $19. Plenty of scope for improvement with that run under his belt.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
