Hobart Race 5 - Typeface Pace
TALK IS CHEAP (3) made a nice return at her latest appearance a week-and-a-half ago, finishing 10 metres away in third over 2200m at Launceston. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Tackles a similar assignment and she can take it to the next level. ROSE NOIRE NZ (4) was yet again about the mark last start when runner-up over 2090m at this track, beaten 6 metres. Primary contender in a similar assignment. KUHIO CREST (7) disappointed last time when eighth over 2090m at this circuit. Can atone. NO NUKES SKIPPER NZ (6) could only finish sixth over 2090m here most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix for some minor money.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Sr1) over 2090m at this track, beaten 35 m by I Gotta Go (2:37.50) in 3yo+ on September 6 at $81. Before that was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr7) over 2090m after racing wide at this track beaten 30 m by Sport Watcher (2:36.80) in 4yo+ on August 16 at $61. Hard to have on those efforts.

Last start 7th (Sr2) over 2200m at Launceston beaten 50 m by Weona Eagle (2:44.70) in 3yo+ on August 23 at $71. Before that, a game effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 2090m at this track, beaten 30 m by Kenya (2:35.10) on August 21 at $19. Rates highly and can atone.

Having her second run back from a spell. Game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr7) over 2200m at Launceston beaten 10 m by Gobsmacked (2:44.90) on August 30 at $11. Winning prospects.

Two back was fourth after being driven well back, behind Gobsmacked at Launceston over 2200m on August 30 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Away Game at this track over 2090m on September 6 at $8. Will be right in the thick of things.
