Hobart Race 8 - More From Tote With Ladbrokes Pace

ROCKANDAHARDPLACE (8) settled close to the pace but couldn't finish the race off and could only manage seventh last start over 2200m at Launceston, that effort coming after a solid fourth at this track the run before. Will enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane to play a big role. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. ALWAYS AURORA (1) turned in a much better run last start when runner-up over 2090m at this track, beaten a head. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go one better without surprising. KOSTYUK LEIS (6) is better than her last-start tenth over 2200m at Launceston. Has each-way claims. MONTGOMERY BURNS NZ (3) is worth some thought despite his last-start sixth over 2579m at this track on October 11.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Vivid Dream at this track over 2090m on September 20 at $101. Then a handy effort when a close second after being driven well back, behind Tappy at this track over 2090m on October 2 at $31. Heading the right way and is a leading player.

Didn't do much at the last run, 12th (Sr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 23 m by Treacherous Dan (1:56.80) on October 11 at $91. Before that 10th (Sr4) over 1680m at Launceston was 7th-9 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Centurian Miss (2:02.10) on October 4 at $101. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr4) over 2200m after being wide early at Launceston, beaten 35 m by Crayons To Perfume (2:42.30) on October 4 at $14.
