Hobart Race 4 - National Jockeys Trust Hcp (C2)
VERHOEVEN (3) has hit the line powerfully last two and placed at each. Goes up a grade but drops in weight and leading rider goes aboard. Tough to hold out late. NANDI CLAN (4) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1410m at this track. Ready to win and looks hard to beat. SH'BOURNE POWER (1) saluted when resuming last start at this track over 1410m after he was in the firing line on the turn. Has found the frame in all three starts at this journey, including two wins. Has a formidable combination with Kirra-Lee Lane who has been aboard for his last two wins. Has winning claims on best figures. MEGALITA (2) produced a reasonable effort when second last start over 1350m at Devonport Synthetic. That followed a win at Devonport Synthetic the start prior. One of the main hopes. ROYAL DETECTIVE (7) is fitter and can do better.

Second run back. First-up after four months favourite; won by a nose at this track Cl1 July 5 over 1410m on a soft track defeating Fuel On The Fire carrying 56kg at $3.20. Previously second-up 3rd of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw on February 15 over 1430m, slow going 1.4 len behind Seditious Award carrying 55.5kg at $7.50. Hard to tip against him on that sort of form. Further improvement to come and is one of the leading chances.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run raced on the pace when 2nd of 9 at Devonport Synthetic Cl3 Sw on July 26 over 1350m, 0.8 len behind Azonto carrying 57kg at $3.60. The start before that won by 0.8 len at Devonport Synthetic Cl1 July 12 over 1350m defeating French Soul with 59kg at $7. Going well and is in the mix with the right run.
