Thursday night at Hobart is an 11 event card with the first to start at 7:20pm. In what appears to be a difficult card for punters the Jamie Devin trained FAMILY FANTASY (race 4) has drawn box 1 over the 340m and looks one of the chances. CASIO LAD (race 8) for trainer Ted Medhurst was outstanding in winning last time and recorded a blistering 25.65 which is only 2L outside of ABOVE ALL’s track record and he might be able to overcome the inside box draw and be too strong for his rivals. TAX MAN WINS (race 11) has been ultra-impressive in winning his last 2 starts and he might make it 3 wins in a row for trainer Russell Watts.
