Hobart Race 6

The Beautide 3Rd August Pace

Stake: $12,960

NYACK (5) finished second at Launceston two starts back then was competitive again at his latest appearance over 1680m at at the same circuit, beaten 6 metres into second after being close to the pace throughout. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role again. STEPPING STONES (1) finished second last start over 2090m at this track, beaten a nose, after scoring at the previous appearance over 2200m at Launceston. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. THE SHALLOWS (8) disappointed last time when tenth over 2200m at Launceston. Can make amends. COOL WATER PADDY (6) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good second over 2090m at this track two runs back.

Last start game effort when 2nd (Fr7) over 2090m at this track, beaten a nose by Sharkattack (2:34.10) in NR 64 to 74 on June 16 at $2.45. Two runs posted a big 18 m win as favourite (Sr2) at Launceston (2:44.50) beating Spot Ruler in 3yo+ No NR FM on June 9 at $1.80. Very hard to beat from the inside draw.

Solid run when a close second behind Magician at Launceston over 1680m in a No NR on May 12 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Magician at Launceston over 1680m in a No NR on May 26 at $6. Capable of taking this out.

Failed to impress last start; 10th (20m Fr2) over 2200m at Launceston, beaten 17 m by Magician (2:45.30) in No NR on June 23 at $16. Showed ability the run before when he tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head (10m Fr2) at this track (2:41.50) beating Cool Water Paddy in No NR on June 2 at $4 at the bell was 2nd-0.8. Chief contender.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
