Hobart Race 9 - Typeface Pace
KUHIO CREST (3) had been out of the money in recent times before getting the job done at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, scoring by 3 metres after being up on the pace. Has the benefit of a good draw. Primary contender in a similar assignment. NOELS GIFT (1) finished third last start, beaten 2 metres at this track over 2090m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expecting a very good run. TWILIGHT BEACH (6) is worth another chance after a last-start eighth over 1680m at Launceston a week-and-a-half ago. QUEENOFDANCE NZ (7) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when fifth at this track over 2090m.

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing sixth after showing early speed, behind Busload Of Faith at Launceston over 2200m on September 27 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Queenofdance at this track over 2090m on October 2 at $7. Further improvement in store.

Last start 8th (Fr6) over 2090m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was 8th-11.6 beaten 13 m by Really Smartie (2:37.50) on October 11 at $41. Two runs back was well back in the run when 6th (Fr4) over 1680m after being wide early at Launceston was 7th-17.2 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Miki Sanz (2:01.30) on October 4 at $16. This looks a far sterner test.

Last start 9th (Fr5) over 1680m after showing early speed at Launceston was 8th-7.8 at the bell, beaten 18 m by Miki Sanz (2:01.30) on October 4 at $18. At his previous start game effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 5.5 m by Count Your Blessin (2:00.50) on September 23 at $18. Rates highly and can do much better.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 1680m at Launceston, at the bell was 6th-13.2 beaten 12 m by Miki Sanz (2:01.30) on October 4 at $8.50. The run before 9th (Sr5) over 2090m at this track, beaten 22 m by Maxx (2:33.70) on September 23 at $41. Deserves another chance.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Sr4) over 2090m at this track was 7th-15.8 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Really Smartie (2:37.50) on October 11 at $11. Showed ability the outing before when she ran on from midfield and won by 1.75 m (Sr1) at this track (2:40.10) beating My Beautiful Life in on October 2 at $5.50 at the bell was 4th-12.6. Solid top-three prospects.
