Hobart Race 1

Prydes Easifeed Pace

Prize Money: $9,700

PHOTO FIRST (8) scored last time out by 2.25 metres at Launceston over 1680m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Will enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane to play a big role. Leading hope in a similar race. POST LAZARUS (3) finished second last start, beaten 2.25 metres, in a far better performance at Launceston over 1680m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Tackles a similar assignment, and he can go right on with the job. IAMAHUNTER (6) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Include in all combinations. MEL RUSTY KITA (2) must be respected after scoring last start by a neck at this track over 1609m. Go again, especially from a good gate.

Last start 5th (Sr5) over 2090m at this track beaten 15 m by Binalong Bay (2:35.00) in NR 40 to 44 on August 22 at $9. Before that, a game effort when 3rd (Sr3) over 2090m at this track beaten 4.5 m by Gobsmacked (2:37.80) in NR up to 49 on August 17 at $7.50. Rates highly and expected to go well from a low draw.
