Hobart Race 3 - Ladbrokes Odds Surge Pace
VOODOO RANGER (3) resumes after finishing fifth at his latest appearance at Cambridge Raceway on May 31, 2024. He makes his Australian debut and is the one to beat. JILLIBY RANDAL (2) was out of the money two starts ago, then things went amiss last start when he broke and finished a distant last over 1609m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Only needs to get things right to be in contention. CAPTAIN DEMARLO (7) was a good effort on debut 19 months ago, finishing runner-up over 2090m at this track. Resuming and has plenty of scope for improvement. EVERYTHING BUT THE (6) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1680m at Launceston. Watch closely.

Finding that maiden win elusive. Last start 11th (Sr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 50 m by Mel Rusty Kita (1:59.50) in 3yo+ MAIDEN on August 17 at $3.30. At the previous start 9th (Fr6) over 2090m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 50 m by Hungry Hippo (2:33.20) in 3yo+ MAIDEN on August 2 at $6. This looks a nice assignment.

Three-year-old gelding facing the starter for the second time. At debut 5th (Fr1) over 1700m at Cambridge Raceway beaten 35 m by Bar Louie (2:04.70) in 2yo CG on May 31 2024 at $16. Will be a lot better for that hitout.

Resuming after a spell of four months. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 2.75 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Might And Temerity at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ MAIDEN on May 4 at $15. Decent effort last start. Further improvement could see him break the ice.

Last start broke in score up and was out of position at the start 9th (Fr6) over 1680m at Launceston, beaten 17 m by Obler (2:02.30) in 3yo+ MAIDEN on August 24 at $31. Two runs back 4th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 3.5 m by Mel Rusty Kita (1:59.50) in 3yo+ MAIDEN on August 17 at $15. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Two back was well beaten into eleventh after being driven well back, behind Hungry Hippo at this track over 2090m in a 3yo+ MAIDEN on August 2 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Mel Rusty Kita at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ MAIDEN on August 17 at $19. Include in all combinations.
