It was the sixth year in a row that a horse from interstate scored victory in the Hobart Cup.

After jumping away well from barrier four and getting a nice clear run, the Graeme Rogerson-trained Bid Spotter ($14.90) and jockey Michael Rodd went wide on the straight and stormed home in a career best win for the Redoute’s Choice five-year-old.

The official 2011 Hobart Cup result was Bid Spotter ($14.90) a half-length winner over local runner Organised ($18) and Davon ($19.30) a half-length away again in third.

After having the run of the race from the inside alley along the rails, dual Country Cups winner Red Buttons ($7.10) finished fourth one place ahead of race favourite Dream Pedlar ($5.70) in fifth.

The Hobart Cup victory bought Bid Spotter’s career record up to six wins from 26 starts for over $437,000 in prize money earned.

The $225,000 Group 3 Launceston Cup (2400m) on Wednesday February 23 is next on the agenda for Bid Spotter who has dual Group glory in Tasmanian in their sights.

Starting from barrier nine, the Robert Smerdon-trained mare comes into the Cup with the last two starts as wins, and will be ridden by Glen Boss, the Cox Plate-winning jockey. However the 16-starter field is full of some top-quality competitors.

Bangerang Quikpic and Zavite follow closely as favourites at $6.50 and $7.50 respectively. The 2009 Melbourne Cup-starter Zavite is a strong contender having won over $1 million in prize money in his rich career.

Taking the coveted inside barrier is Danny O’Brien’s Ballack who has not placed in his last three runs so will be hoping to profit from the starting advantage.

Dream Pedlar is one to watch for Monday’s 2200m race having won on the course last December at the Tasmanian Stakes (1600m). The Troy Blacker-trained gelding has not proved himself recently over longer distances, however, Blacker will be hoping the horse will better last year’s third spot at the Hobart Cup.
