Hobart Race 3

Kevin Sharkie Autumn Classic

Prize Money: $50,000

DANCING WOLF (3) made it two in a row when she bolted in over 1200m at Launceston last start. Progressive filly who gets beyond six furlongs for the first time but looks up to the task. FIRST LINE (5) tracked DANCING WOLF into the straight but was no match in the closing stages last time out. Racing well and should be competitive again but has the job ahead to turn the tables. ROYAL DISPATCH (1) has switched to the John Keys yard since winning on debut over 1600m at Bairnsdale five weeks ago. Freshened up and should give a good account. BUNKER JAKO (2) just prevailed as favourite on debut over 1200m at Launceston recently. Should appreciate a bit more ground today. LAST TREMBLE (6) is proven at 1400m and with winkers on for the first time is capable of featuring in the finish.

Freshened since claiming his maiden victory on debut; favourite; won by a long-neck at Bairnsdale Mdn-Sw March 23 over 1600m in soft going defeating Team Heist carrying 59kg at $2.40. Should pay to follow.

Getting off the mark on debut; favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a head at Launceston Mdn-Sw April 4 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Dubai Affair carrying 58kg at $2.50. Better for that experience and is worth following up.

Last start got back early in a small field at Launceston 3yo Swp on April 11 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Dancing Wolf with 55kg at $4.40. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 at Launceston 3yo SWP on February 26 over 1200m, 2 len behind Lady Galadriel with 55.5kg at $51. Big chance on the back of that encouraging effort last time.

Useful type. Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at Launceston Mdn/Cl1-Sw on April 11 over 1600m, 2.75 len behind Shy Guy carrying 56.5kg at $4.80. The start before that 7th of 12 at Launceston Cl1 on March 21 over 1400m, slow going 4 len behind Willingly carrying 56.5kg at $8.50. Expect she will make amends.
