Hobart Race 1 - Typeface Pace
CRUNCHTHEGUN (6) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1680m at Launceston, beaten 4.5 metres when trying to lead all of the way. Rates well as a leading chance based on his second here three runs back recent form. MY FATAL CHARM (5) resumes from a spell of six-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 1670m at Carrick. Sure to prove hard to beat on her return. IDEN ELIZA JANE (4) resumes from a spell. Last appeared when a modest eighth over 1609m at this track three-and-a-half months ago. Fresh-up can place. LITTLE CAPPUCCINA (2) was thereabouts last time out at the second run back from a spell over 2090m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement.

Resuming after a layoff of ten weeks. Well beaten at the end of her last preparation when tenth at very big odds behind Talkbabytalk. Prefer to see.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Melican at this track over 1609m in a 3yo on July 12 at $20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Sweetheart Dior at this track over 2090m in a 3yo+ on July 26 at $19. Can improve. With even luck is a winning chance.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m fourth behind Kaybee at Launceston over 1680m 3yo+ last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres second at this track over 2090m same class on July 26. Sure to be there at the business end.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 2090m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 12 m by Sweetheart Dior (2:40.70) in 3yo+ on July 26 at $26. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 65 m by Angel Rocks (1:58.90) in 3yo+ on January 11 at $81. Capable of testing this line up.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr3) over 2090m at this track, beaten 30 m by Sweetheart Dior (2:40.70) in 3yo+ on July 26 at $26. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 50 m by Melican (1:59.50) in 3yo on July 12 at $51. Needs to lift.
