Helter Swelter continued her solid form running a close second to Lavaca in the Remembering Panic Class 2 Handicap at Hobart on Sunday.

The Gary White trained mare was once again given the job of leading the field and managed to fight off multiple challenges before being caught over the last 100m.

"It was not the plan to lead today", said White after the race.

"We expected Champara would cross us and had hoped to take the sit behind it and see if the mare would relax, but it was not to be.  I was quite impressed with how many challenges she was able to fight off", he went on to say.

Helter Swelter's two wins have both come on soft ground, however her form on firmer tracks has been improving, culminating with the weekends second which was on a good track.

"She has improved with every run this preparation, winning almost $15,000 in four starts, but she is beginning to show signs of wanting a break and I look forward to bringing her back for the softer winter tracks", said White who is also a part owner of Helter Swelter.
