Hobart Race 10

Ladbrokes Punter Assist Division1

Stake: $3,742

BUSTER SCRUGGS (8) ran below his best last time finishing fourth (16.43) over 278m at Launceston in a Grade 4. Goes very well at the trip finding the frame in each of four starts. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. Ready to return to form. ASTON PERK (1) has a strong winning strike-rate this journey here having won two of three starts. Missed the frame latest (16.69) when fifth over 278m at Launceston in a Grade 5. Looks a key chance on best figures. MY GIRL TENIKA (5) is a fast dog well performed over the sprint races. Was too tough when scoring last time over 278m at Launceston in a Grade 5 (16.27). Form here at this distance is sound including five wins. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in three starts. Expecting another bold showing. BLACK HOAX (2) has strong credentials over this journey.

Won two starts back at this track over 340m in 19.48. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 278m at Launceston at Grade 4 level. Leading chance on best form.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (16.28) over 278m at Launceston. Tricky draw to overcome and looks safely held.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by half a length over 278m at Launceston in a handy 16.27, beating Miss Chirpy. Looks hard to beat.

Missed the frame latest (16.43) when fourth over 278m at Launceston in a Grade 4. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Expected to go close.
