Pamplona will enjoy a step back in class into the third at Hobart tonight and looks beautifully placed. The daughter of Fernando Bale put together two impressive wins late last month before a luckless effort over 432m here. The drop in trip is ideal and she’ll take a power of beating.
Alarming Betty has recorded several pleasing results this time and with even luck, she can fight out the finish of the fifth at Hobart tonight. The daughter of My Bro Fabio has been up and racing for a while, but she tracked home well to finish third over 461m here at Hobart last week and a rise in trip looks ideal.
Back Up #5 Abbey’s Banjo
Abbey’s Banjo has opened market favourite and looks the major danger to Alarming Betty. This looks like the perfect opportunity to utilise a Back Up.
Foxbird De Kahn has returned to racing in excellent form this time and strikes a winnable one at Hobart tonight. The three-year-old son of Where’s Pedro savaged the line to finish a close-up second over 515m at Launceston two runs back and finished off well last time out, despite running into some early interference. He’s rock-hard fit for this assignment and will take beating.
