Hobart Race 6 - Hygain Pace
THE DEVILS FLAME (1) ran fourth last start at this track over 1609m, putting up the right sort of form to arrive here with a winning shot. No excuses from this advantageous draw this time. In the right spot and will be a major force. MERRYWOOD PAUL (3) has had two runs this prep without filling a placing. Added to the sequence last time over 1680m at Launceston, finishing 16 metres away from the winner in eighth. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Finds a suitable assignment and can improve sharply. IRON CLAD (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 2090m. Genuine threat. VANQUISH STRIDE NZ (5) is worth some thought based on his second over 1609m at this track two runs ago.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Sr3) over 1609m at this track beaten 19 m by Schwarz (1:57.90) on August 9 at $81. Before that was well back in the run when 11th (Fr3) over 1680m after being wide early at Launceston beaten 45 m by The Chancer (1:59.60) on August 1 at $101. Facing a tough assignment this time around.
