Hobart Race 4 - Ladbrokes New Betslip Pace
OUR DANCE MONKEY (7) ran ninth last start at this track over 2090m, beaten 95 metres. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. It doesn't get any easier but she is capable of playing a significant role. ULTIMATE GLADIATOR NZ (2) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, beaten 5.5 metres. Expect him to be prominent. SPORTZSILK (6) was out of the money two runs ago then broke and finished eighth last start over 2090m at this track, coming home 12 metres from the winner. Can't make any mistakes against this field but he is right in the mix. PHLOW JO (5) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 2090m at this track.

Didn't impress first-up at this course and distance beaten 95 m ninth but did show some early speed, behind Denver Man in a on September 20. Will be a different proposition this time.
