Hobart   08 Jun 2025
 
GOING: S(5)

Kevin Sharkie 2YO Maiden 1100m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 11)   Rail: +11m Entire. (Pent: 4.47)  

Good speed anticipated with a large representation of first starters lining up. Tricky. BELLA CHINKARA (7) resumes and wasn't beaten far in Listed grade two back. Owns a trial win here, and this is winnable with average luck from the awkward gate. ACCUSAIENT (4) debuts, and she won a trial on the same day. She also draws out, but a bold run is likely. ARCTIC ATTRACTION (5) placed on the synthetic first-up and is improved. Has to bring the form to the turf, but she has upside. Ditto REDAIR (13), who led that contest and faded late. Has a key jockey switch to Darmanin, replacing the apprentice. MISS LYRA (11) debuts and owns a big trial win. She's ready to go, but the awkward barrier needs managing. DAYTONA DIVA (9) looks to have ability, but the gate is against. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Bella Chinkara.
