Hobart Race 2 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm Pace
FOURTH RESPONSE (1) ran fourth last start at Launceston over 2200m, beaten 10 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. THE DEVILS FLAME (2) scored last start by 1.3 metres in a far better performance at this track over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Recent effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. MOVESLIKEALADY (11) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 1.5 metres at Launceston over 1680m. KARALTA ARTEMIS (10) is next in line but might need a few good breaks from an awkward draw.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr2) over 2200m after showing early pace at Launceston beaten 10 m by Tambros Tilly (2:43.80) on July 19 at $1.65. Before that, a good run when 3rd (Fr3) over 1680m after showing early speed at Launceston beaten 5.5 m by Muzzame Mate (1:59.80) on July 5 at $5. Sure to play a major role.

Resuming after 11 weeks off the scene. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into twelfth behind My Bettor Half at Launceston over 1680m on May 10 at $16. Capable of more than she has shown recently. Solid top-three prospects.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr7) over 2200m at Launceston beaten 30 m by Schwarz (2:40.10) on July 19 at $61. Before that 4th (Fr2) over 2200m at Launceston beaten 35 m by Rocky Rocks (2:40.70) on July 10 at $31. Hard to have on those efforts.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr6) at Launceston (2:02.10) beating Andaman Bay in on July 10 at $2.60. Awkward draw but in-form and expected to go well again.
