Hobart   08 Feb 2026
 
GOING: S(5)

Mingari + Co Class 1 Hcp 1100m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: +6m Entire. (Pent: 4.52)  

The pace should be on from the outset with Artillery Fire, Magnolia Sky and Novalargo pushing on from their low draws. MAGNOLIA SKY (6) just missed here on debut and then came back and belted the Maidens by 4L from the front. Drawn to go forward again and keeps Burke's handy 3kg claim. Fitter again and she looks capable of taking the next step. NOVALARGO (7) brings a comfortable Launceston Maiden win to resumption and won a recent Longford trial by a space. Jumps from an inside barrier and may control the race. Will be naturally improved and has to be considered. ZAMBEZI BLONDE (3) resumes off a Maiden win here and keeps the in-form Byrne Burke. Has upside and keep safe as well. ROUNDLE PARK (5) peaks and disappointed when backed off the map at Launceston a month ago. He may be worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Magnolia Sky.
