Hobart Race 5 - Smithawards Division1

DEFENSIVE (2) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 1.75 lengths at Launceston in a handy 16.08 beating Okinawa. Won at her only start from this draw. Expected to go well again. KING FENCER (8) latest effort finished 4th on May 12 over 278m at Launceston behind Chalupa Batman beaten 7 lengths (16.61) in a Grade 5. Can feature with the right run. WELLINGTON ROSES (4) was unfancied latest when jumping from this same draw but belied the odds to score (19.59) over 340m at this track in a Grade 5. Harder here but expected to measure up. RAGING RAMBO (6) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can atone.
