Hobart   21 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G(4)

Monotone 3YO Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 1m Entire. (Pent: 4.52).  

Moderate tempo expected with Sandual likely to find the front over Loyalty Blues and Jehbenti. Competitive. SANDUAL (5) has been racing well at CL2 level and tumbles in weight for this assignment. His figures stack up and he should go close. JEHBENTI (3) was well-backed again and may have had excuses last time. The Hobart CL2 win prior was good and he has some weight relief. No surprise to see a bounce. THESPIAN WATERS (1) seeks the hat trick and no knock on his form. He's also a winning chance. CHEROKEE DANCER (4) was plain her latest but the form prior would have her right in it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Sandual.
