Hobart Race 5 - Smithawards Division1
GRAPEFRUIT EXPEL (2) has a strong record this trip with three wins and two placings from six starts. In the money last time at Launceston (30.48) in a Special conditions race, finishing a 12 length third. Looks a leading chance on best. CANYA DO IT (1) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (26.37) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Launceston. Can feature with the right run. CRACKERJACK OAK (6) turned in a solid run last start over 461m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 4.5 lengths (26.39). A big run wouldn't surprise. REIKO HULK (7) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can make amends.
