Hobart Race 3 - Trc Life Member Ron Brooks Hcp (C5)

Plenty of win chances but hard to go past the progressive SOUTHERN AURORAS (3). Unbeaten this time in, the latest a dominant on speed win here in a Class2. Jumps in grade but is a promising type flying through the classes and will give a sight again. GEEGEE STRAWBERRY (5) kept coming and scored here last time over a similar journey. Drawn for a soft run and will prove hard to beat again. KAKIA (2) placed behind Geegees Strawberry last time. Overdue and looks one of the major hopes. GARCON D'ESPOIR (1) has good early pace and is sure to give a big sight. TASSIE POWER (4) is better than recent form suggests and will also give a sight.

Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.5 len at this track on August 5 over 1200m in soft going defeating Benefitsofmine with 56.5kg at $4.
