Hobart Race 3 - Hygain Southern Lights Harness Carnival Pace
OMYBACNKNEES JUDGE (1) was once again right in the mix last start when runner-up over 2200m at Launceston, beaten a head. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Recent efforts are good enough to put him right in the finish. A ROCKN NIGHTMARE (3) scored at Shepparton three runs ago but has been unplaced in two subsequent runs, the latest when fifth over 2090m at this track, beaten 17 metres. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Leading hope if anywhere near her best. SWEETHEART DIOR (5) disappointed last time when eighth over 2200m at Launceston. Can bounce back. QUEEN ANASTASIA (2) is in the mix at her first run since finishing sixth over 2200m at Launceston nine weeks ago.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Quarteira at Launceston over 2200m 3yo+ last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres fifth again at Launceston in 3yo on August 30. One of the key runners.

First up. At the last run she 6th (Fr5) over 2200m at Launceston, beaten 22 m by Zihuatanejo (2:40.90) in 3yo on August 7 at $18. Sure to be in the mix while fresh.

Last start 6th (Fr1) over 2090m at this track, at the bell was 6th-8.6 beaten 7 m by Queenofdance (2:40.10) on October 2 at $8. Two runs back 3rd (Fr2) over 2090m at this track was 3rd-6.8 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Rose Noire (2:38.20) on September 20 at $9. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
