Hobart Tips

OZTURK won one of three with the sting out of the ground and placed when fresh, tough to beat. HUBUBBAJAHN has won at Launceston and placed twice this prep. Couldn't hold on and just missed last start at Launceston, the real danger in the race. BAYBOUGG short back-up of seven days and goes well on a softer track, each-way claims. STRATOJACK came on to finish midfield last start at Hobart and up in trip, in with a chance.

LITTLE RIVER TOFF finished fifth last start at Devonport Synthetic and rates highly with Chloe Wells aboard, place best. NUMBERONESTYLEGUY placed last start at long odds at Launceston and should be near the speed in a race without much early pace, needs the breaks.

Hard to split the top two picks. ALPINE DAME faded to finish on the winners' heels at only start at Devonport Synthetic and has the speed to overcome an unfavourable draw, genuine contender.
