Key Comments
The track is rated as soft and the rail is +3 metres the entire circuit. As a general rule, runners who land in the front half of the field are suited at this track, with a slight advantage to those who land forward of midfield and can find a cart into the race from the wider lanes in the straight.
Best Bet
Press For Boom (Hobart Race 4 No. 3)
Press For Boom has won both starts this time in for 2 wins at Hobart. Both were on soft tracks. She’s unbeaten and looks the clear top pick.

Expostar (Hobart Race 1 No. 3)
This 2YO got going late coming from last to finish 5th of 11 at his only start. He should take improvement from that and looks worth an each-way bet.
