Hobart Race 5 - Fehlbergs Produce Sprint Lane Pace
AFFAMATO (1) scored at his most recent outing by 4 metres in a far better performance at Launceston over 2200m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating once more. EVERYTHING BUT THE (2) continued his impressive run of recent efforts last time out when runner-up over 2090m at this track, beaten 7 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Primary contender in this comparable race. SHADES OF SILK (3) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a neck at this track over 1609m. SAPPHIRE GAMBLER (7) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1680m at Launceston.

Last start good run when 2nd (Fr1) over 2090m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 7 m by Carmen Emjay (2:33.40) on June 14 at $4.80. Two runs back posted a big 6 m win after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Launceston (2:41.90) beating Can Feel The Fury in on June 7 at $3.10. Rates highly. Handy draw will assist and is a leading player again.

Didn't do much last start, 8th (Sr1) over 1680m at Launceston beaten 14 m by Amelias Jewel (2:02.30) on June 21 at $31. Before that 6th (Fr3) over 1680m after showing early pace at Launceston beaten 22 m by Onehandonebounce (2:02.60) on June 12 at $31. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.
