Hobart Race 6

Ladbrokes Odds Surge Division1

Stake: $4,120

HARD STYLE LEON (8) had won two starts on end before the winning streak was broken with a second placing (19.55) last time at this track. Has a strong winning record here. Drawn wide but with a clean break will be tough to beat again. GRAVITATIONAL (2) is a handy type who notched her 17th career success when too good (19.52) from Box 1 at this track. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. One of main contenders. ZURI (1) is boxed nicely on the inside. Last start finished 2nd over 278m at Launceston beaten 3 lengths (16.39) behind Bowser Boy in a Other on April 14. Looks a key player on best form. SERGEANT ALF (5) was in the money two back in a Grade 4 at Launceston then jumped from a squeeze draw last time and was not far away when second (16.29) over 278m at Launceston.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (19.74) at this track over 340m. Has ability and worth including.
