Hobart Race 8 - Ladbrokes Odds Surge Pace
CRAYONS TO PERFUME (3) got the job done in tremendous style last start to score by 21 metres at Launceston over 2200m, that run following a second two starts back there. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Finds a suitable assignment and will prove very tough to beat once more. ARDEN SEASCAPE NZ (4) returned from a break in very good order last time out when a authoritative winner over 2090m at this track on September 11, getting home by 4.5 metres. Has the class to take care of this field. QUETZALLI (2) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fourth at this venue over 2090m. Hard to find fault. SPORT WATCHER (1) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.

Last preparation only had 2 starts before going for a break. Returned to racing with a handy win a big 4.5 m win as favourite (Sr1) at this track (2:33.20) beating Ultimate Gladiator in 3yo+ on September 11 at $2.30. Sure to be further improved and expected to be in the finish again.

Solid run when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Gobsmacked at this track over 1609m on September 11 at $4.33. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Denver Man at this track over 2090m on September 20 at $3.40. Among the major players.
