Hobart Race 1 - Aintree Contracting Hcp (C2)
JOHN OF JANE (1) looks to be above average after winning his last start by 4 lengths off a wide draw 12 days ago. He was beaten a nose fresh up, and should really be unbeaten in all of his 3 starts to date. On top. JAMMIN JIMMY (2) is a lightly tried 7YO gelding with issues at the start, and he now makes his local debut for Tammy Mollross after making the move from Victoria. He looked ready to rumble when winning a recent trial, and the market will be an important guide. GEEGEEHAILSTORM (3) ran on nicely from beyond midfield when finishing fourth fresh up at Launceston. She usually improves with racing, and though she may not win often, she can figure in the top 3 this time. CRYSTAL MOONBEAM (4) is a talented mare resuming from a spell with a recent trial under her belt. Both of her wins have been here over the trip, and she can make her presence felt. APRIL'S DANCE (6) needed her fresh up run here 12 days ago. Top hoop Anthony Darmanin sticks with her, and so do we.

Third-up today. Resuming held ground to the line 2nd of 10 in a Cl1 at Launceston on October 16 over 1200m, nose behind Genuine Lady carrying 59kg at $2.20. Last start favourite; won by 4 len in a Cl1 at this track on November 3 over 1200m defeating Lawrenny Boys carrying 59kg at $1.60. Rates highly and open to further improvement.

Comes here off a 51-day let-up. Last start couldn't go on with it; ran last of 7 in a Cl3 at Launceston on September 25 over 1220m, 19 len behind Fighting For Gold carrying 50.5kg at $31. The run before that ran last in a small field in a Cl3 Sw at Devonport Synthetic on September 9 over 1150m, 10 len behind Glory Mission carrying 57kg at $26. Might struggle again.

Most recently ran last of 11 in a Bm60 at this track on November 3 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Buzzoffski with 54kg at $101. The race before that 6th of 9 in a Cl2 at Launceston on October 9 over 1100m, 5 len behind Jenni The Cat with 51kg at $91. Unlikely to threaten.
