Hobart Race 5 - Typeface Pace
CARMEN EMJAY (1) was 6 metres away in third at Launceston over 2200m last start at her first run back from a spell. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. This should be an easier assignment so she is a major player again. MAGICIAN (9) was a neck away in second at Launceston over 2200m last start at his first run back from a spell. Meets a comparable field so he can certainly take this out. THE SHALLOWS (10) must be considered after he finished runner-up when resuming over 2698m at Launceston two weeks ago. WAVES OF CHANCE (5) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound third at this track over 2090m.

Having her second run back from a spell. Game effort when 3rd (Sr2) over 2200m at Launceston was 5th-17.2 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Ultimaction (2:40.30) in 4yo+ on October 25 at $10. Should run well.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Horatius Speculo at this track over 2090m on October 11 at $9. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Horatius Speculo at this track over 2090m on October 31 at $9.50. Should be in the finish again.

Promising type show didn't do much at the end of his last preparation. Fair return to racing first up game effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 2200m at Launceston, at the bell was 2nd-7.2 beaten a neck by Go The Red (2:40.40) on October 18 at $2.80. Not out of this despite the second-row draw. Top chance in this line-up.

Having his second run back from a spell. Game effort when 2nd (10m) over 2698m at Launceston was 2nd-12 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Horatius Speculo (3:23.70) on October 25 at $8. Right in the mix.
