Hobart Race 6 - Smithawards Pace
DEBT TILL WE PART (5) was responsible for a better performance last time out when second over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres. Won't find this any harder and he can get up without surprising. ROCKS ROY (8) finished second last start, beaten 5 metres at this track over 2090m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. MACH ANGELO (9) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. MAGIC PEBBLES (4) ended last prep with a eighth at Carrick over 2150m ten weeks ago. Can open this campaign with a more positive effort.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Imperial Laz at this track over 1609m in a NR 49 to 54 on March 22 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Gobsmacked at this track over 1609m in a NR 50 to 52 on March 28 at $10. Nice effort last time. Heading the right way and is a leading player.

Failed to impress last start; 12th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track beaten 60 m by Imperial Laz (1:55.50) in NR 49 to 54 on March 22 at $17. Showed ability the run before when he won by 4.5 m as favourite (Fr2) at this track (2:) beating Ready To Rock in NR up to 49 on March 16 at $1.85 at the bell was 2nd-3.7m on the pegs. Best form puts him right in this.
