Hobart Race 5 - Fehlbergs Produce Sprintlane Pace
ALOT LIKE PENDLES (1) resumes from a spell of five months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 1680m at Launceston. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. OUR ULTIMATE GRACY NZ (4) turned in a much better run at her latest appearance when successful over 1609m at this track, getting home by 5 metres after leading. This looks a sterner test than last time but she is capable of another big performance. CHEYS ANGEL (7) is flying at present with two successive wins to her name, most recently at Launceston a week ago. Big chance to keep the ball rolling. COUNTY COURT JUDGE (2) ended last prep with a fourth at Tamworth over 1980m three-and-a-half months ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh.

First up. At the last run he posted a big 6 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at Launceston (2:00.30) beating Jeremy Wells in on May 15 at $1.20 at the bell was leading 2.5m on the pegs. Should be in the finish.

Two back was well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Cheys Angel at Launceston over 1680m on September 27 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.75 m finishing second behind Our Better Bro at this track over 2090m on October 2 at $3. Solid claims.

Last start 2nd (Sr3) over 2200m at Launceston, at the bell was 2nd-12.8 beaten 3 m by Cheys Angel (2:41.80) on October 4 at $11. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr7) over 1680m at Launceston beaten 20 m by Cheys Angel (2:01.80) on September 27 at $15. Not likely to threaten this time.

Didn't do much last time out, was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr7) over 2090m at this track was 7th-16 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Tappy (2:36.10) on October 2 at $18. Before that was well back in the run when 8th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 13 m by Iden Oliver (1:57.30) on September 23 at $14. This looks a far sterner test.
