Hobart Race 6

David Medhurst Memorial

Prize Money: $9,700

ROCKS ROY (4) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last four starts, most recently recording a third over 2200m at Launceston. He is good enough to take this out. PUNTARNO STRIDE (3) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 2 metres, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 2090m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. WIND SOCK (1) has the perfect inside draw, and is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1680m at Launceston a week ago. ONEOFTHELADS (6) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 2200m at Launceston.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 5th (Fr7) over 2090m at this track, beaten 7 m by Morris Brown (2:37.60) in NR 45 to 49 on August 29 at $19. Before that 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Modern Jive (1:56.00) in NR 50 to 52 on August 22 at $51. Prefer others.

Fair performance when beaten by 4 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Imperial Laz at this track over 2090m in a NR 53 to 56 on August 22 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Modern Jive at this track over 1609m in a NR 55 to 59 on August 29 at $11. Great chance to find an overdue win.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Laid Back at this track over 1609m in a NR 57 to 60 on August 22 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Horatius Speculo at Launceston over 2200m in a NR 53 to 57 on August 31 at $8. Going along well. Strong chance.
