Hobart Race 9

Greyhounds As Pets Division2

Prize Money: $3,395

GRAPEFRUIT EXPEL (7) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on her quick win the start prior, getting around this track over 340m in 19.43. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times. CRACKERJACK OAK (1) has been out of the placings the last couple but was a Grade 5 winner (26.17) three back at this track. Rates a winning chance on best. TOKYO DANGER (2) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 340m (20.17). Bold showing expected. MYSTIC GAZE (8) has a solid strike rate from this box.

Latest effort finished 4th in a Grade 5 on August 10 over 340m at this track behind Lochinvar Angel beaten 2.5 lengths (20.17). Should prove hard to beat.

Placed last time (30.48) at Launceston in a Special conditions race, finishing third and beaten 12 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (19.67) over 340m at this track. Tends to run fairly well from the draw and is among the better hopes.
