Hobart Race 2 - Typeface Pace
WE SALUTE YOU (7) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last four starts, most recently recording a second over 2200m at Launceston. Primary contender in a similar assignment. SAPPHIRE GAMBLER (6) turned in a good effort at his latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 2090m at this track on September 11. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. SPORTZSILK (1) disappointed last time when seventh over 2090m at this track. Can turn things around. JOHN VINCENT (8) never fired last time when seventh over 2200m at Launceston. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 7th (Fr4) over 2090m at this track, beaten 18 m by Arden Seascape (2:33.20) in 3yo+ on September 11 at $11. The run before was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr5) over 2090m after being wide early at this track well beaten by Sport Watcher (2:36.80) in 4yo+ on August 16 at $6.50. Should be at peak fitness and can turn things around.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Lady In Line at this track over 1609m on September 6 at $8. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Sapphire Gambler at this track over 2090m on September 11 at $10. Has been racing well and is sure to prove tough to beat.
