Tasracing’s Sunday best bets at Hobart (31/08)
It's the final thoroughbred meeting until November in Hobart on Sunday.
Punters have an eight-race card with the rail moving out to +11m after being at +3m for the meeting here last Sunday.
Showers are forecast for Hobart across the weekend, which should keep the track in the soft range.

Best bet
Race 7 – 4. Moveforlex
After losing his way in Victoria, a return home seems to have sparked a new lease of life for Moveforlex, who is enjoying an excellent campaign. After a dead-heat win in Launceston two starts back, I didn’t like the setup for him in Devonport in the Golden Mile, but he beat all bar Sushi Express home. Back to Hobart, up in trip and remaining on the minimum weight all appear significant positives for Moveforlex, who finds his right race in Hobart on Sunday.
Next best
Race 1 – 3. Make A Decision
Only a small field will tackle the opener, which suits Make A Decision, who can be a bit indifferent leaving the barriers. He jumped fine last time in a strong class 6, but he was never better than three-wide, boxing on well to finish fourth. His best performances have been at 1200m, so I like the drop in distance for him, with three weeks since that run. He gets in with 52kg, and I can see him powering over the top if he’s close enough on the home turn.
Best value
Race 8 – 7. Make A Decision
It’s a rollercoaster ride following Geegee Strawberry, whose get-back racing style lends itself to bad luck more often than not. That’s been the case at her past two starts, where she arguably could’ve won both. Drawn out suits her racing style, and I think by the last race, runners will be looking to get off the inside. She’s due for a change of luck and appears to have a big chance of taking out the last if it comes.
