Hobart Race 4 - Smithawards Pace
MUZZAME MATE (2) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Didn't let supporters down at his latest appearance when he got the job done by 1.5 metres over 1680m at Launceston. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of getting the job done again. EVERYTHING BUT THE (1) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last 10 starts, most recently recording a second over 2090m at this track. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Primary contender in a similar race. RAINBOW RANGER (3) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fourth at Launceston over 2200m. Hard to find fault. HAZEWILLREV (4) is capable of a better performance after finishing well back when resuming from a spell over 2200m at Launceston a week ago.
