Hobart Race 2 - Thank You Bec Duggan Photography Division1
ZARA ZORRO (8) is a newcomer for the Nicholas Howard kennel. Start all important and will need some luck getting across from the wide draw. Expected to be well fancied and can make an immediate impact. MR CARTER (4) finished midfield on debut when fourth (19.86) at this track over 340m. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. OLD FENCER (6) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by a nose at this track in a handy 26.45 beating Rojo Alawa. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Leading player again. MILLIE MINARDI (1) returns after a break and looks a top-three hope.

Has finished eighth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 8 lengths behind Sammy Ross over 340m. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Ran a fair race on debut when fourth (19.86) at this track over 340m. Likely to be much improved. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.

Strong performance to win by a nose at this track over 461m (26.45) beating Rojo Alawa in Grade 6 on October 15. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage eighth last time out over 515m at Launceston. Prepared to risk.

First starter by Aston Rupee from Maddie Zorro. From the Nicholas Howard kennel. Might pay to watch for a market push.
