Hobart Race 6 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm Pace
SCHWARZ (1) added to the impressive sequence of wins last start when he scored as the hot favourite by 23 metres over 2200m at Launceston. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field so he can certainly add to the winning sequence. GOODTIME OSCAR (8) is racing well with four top-four finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at this track over 2090m. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Meets a comparable field and he can get the job done. HAMMER DAN (6) must be considered after he finished third over 2200m at Launceston two-and-a-half weeks ago after having raced in behind the leader at the bell. THE DEVILS FLAME (4) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track after having raced outside the leader at the bell.

Comes here in the right form. Posted a big 23 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Launceston (2:40.10) beating Goodtime Oscar in on July 19 at $1.18. Two runs back won by 6 m as favourite (Sr3) at Launceston (2:41.40) beating Zihuatanejo in 3yo+ on July 10 at $1.20. Sure to go well.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr2) over 2200m after showing early pace at Launceston, beaten 75 m by Montgomery Burns (2:41.30) on June 21 at $16. Before that 8th (Fr5) over 1680m at Launceston, well beaten by Onehandonebounce (2:02.60) on June 12 at $13. Others make more appeal.
