Hobart Race 2 - Smithawards Division1
VISTA HOIST (1) Couldn't stay in touch when 5th last time at Ballarat. Giving another go here and has drawn the rails. Has shown early pace in races to date. Expect to go close. VISTA TRUE BLUE (5) Showed promise when winning last time at the track and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Has genuine claims in this race. SAMMY ROSS (7) Ran 5th last time at Launceston. Should improve but will be dropping in distance. Expecting to settle positively. Goes very close. IT'S A WALKER (6) Tidy effort when 3rd last run here. Michael Sherriff kennel are on fire recently. Has the ability to figure.

Was $8.00 and weakened under pressure when 5th last time at Ballarat. Giving another go here and drawn the rails. Should muster plenty of early toe. Expected to be competitive.

Odds of $21.00 and unimpressive effort when 8th last time at Launceston and dropping back to a shorter trip. Better to look elsewhere.

Jumped at $16.00 and fairly underwhelming when 8th last time around here. Would be more keen on the chance of others.
