2018 Hobartville Stakes Field & Odds: Kementari Favourite

The feature race at the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival meeting, this season’s Group 2 $400,000 Hobartville Stakes (1400m) attracted 11 hopeful three-year-olds.

Due to run as Rosehill Race 7 at 4:25pm (AEDT), the Hobartville Stakes is the key lead-up race into the Group 1 $1 million Randwick Guineas (1600m) over a mile on March 10 and has produced the past five winners of the mile classic.

This season Godolphin-raced Lonhro colt Kementari leads both the Hobartville Stakes betting markets at Ladbrokes.com.au for Saturday as well as the all-in Randwick Guineas 2018 odds for next month paying $2.30 and $4.50 respectively.

Runner-up to Mighty Boss in the Group 1 Ladbrokes Caulfield Guineas (1600m) last October, Kementari was found-out dropping back in distance down the Flemington straight during the Melbourne Cup Carnival for his sixteenth to Merchant Navy in the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m).

He made an immediate impact upon his autumn return a fortnight ago at Warwick Farm with a blistering three length victory in the Group 3 Eskimo Prince Stakes (1200m) and Glyn Schofield retains the ride this weekend in barrier nine.

Three other horses in the Hobartville Stakes final field this season join the well-supported favourite under $10 for the win including the close second elect and market mover, Trapeze Artist ($4.20 into $3.80).

Gerald Ryan saddles-up the proven Snitzel colt who also comes off a first-up autumn win.

Best known for his all-the-way upset when storming home for a fourth length success at huge odds in the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes (1400m) last September, Trapeze Artist enjoyed another Rosehill win on February 3.

Taking on the older horses, he enjoyed a one and a quarter-length victory in the Group 2 Expressway Stakes (1200m) and gets the chance to add to his growing Rosehill track record this Saturday.

Rounding out the single-figure fancies at an equal $7.50 are the flying Pierata and the undefeated D’Argento.

Drawn barrier seven with two-time Melbourne Cup winning hoop Corey Brown to ride, the nicely-bred Pierata is a son of former Golden Slipper champion Pierro and has won his latest two starts.

Prepared by Warwick Farm-based Gregory Hickman, Pierata saluted by two and a half-lengths at Doomben on December 30 in the Group 3 Vo Rogue Stakes (1350m) before another Queensland win in mid-January.

With regular rider Brown continuing his successful association with the up-and-comer, Pierata headed to the Gold Coast and took out the lucrative $4 million Restricted Listed Magic Millions 3YO Guineas (1400m).

Freshened-up since, he trialled at Randwick on February 12 over 1200m when just beaten to the line and presents as a winning hope fresh in a Hobartville Stakes field full of depth.

D’Argento meanwhile is drawn a treat in barrier four and represents Chris Waller, of Winx fame.

Winx’s regular jockey Hugh Bowman rides the in-form son of So You Think, the grey colt a winner of all three of his career starts in easier company including most recently over 1300m in a Benchmark 76 for three-year-olds at Randwick on January 20.
