THE Mick Stringer-trained Absolute Moral will attempt to win his second race in the space of four days when he takes on a strong field of chasers in the Matthew Boyd Grade 5 (race 3) over 599 metres at Tattersall’s Park in Hobart tonight.
Absolute Moral scored an impressive win over 515 metres in Launceston on Monday night.
The son of Brett Lee-Come On Roxy made full use of the inside box in Launceston but faces a tougher task carrying the blue vest (box 4) in tonight’s assignment.
One of the black dog’s assets is his early speed which he will have to rely on if he is to make his presence felt at the business end of proceedings.
Absolute Moral has had only two tries over the 599-metre trip for a minor placing but Stringer predicted some time back that the dog had a future over the longer trips.
He was strong on the line over 515 metres on Monday night to suggest he should relish the 599 metres.
Instant Rockstar (5), Franklin Bob (1) and Uno Keysy (2) loom as the main dangers with Instant Rockstar likely to start favourite given his very impressive win over 600 metres in Launceston on Monday night.
Instant Rockstar scored an effortless win as the $1.30 favourite while Uno Keysy also race on Monday night for a game second to all-the-way winner Chinatown Chief over 515 metres.
Franklin Bob is coming off a win over 600 metres in Launceston last Monday week.
