Genuine tempo from Asawin leading Hydrogen Power. SHE'S STARGAZING (4) is a talented filly who will find this a lot more suitable than the Clare Lindop (Laelia) Stakes over 1600m at Morphettville. Won a Kilmore Maiden over 1450m prior racing handy and will hit this at peak fitness. Should go close. HYDROGEN POWER (3) missed a nose here and then worked home well to place over this distance at Ararat. Has the inside gate today and the blinkers on again. A decent chance to bounce. POSITIVO (1) didn't manage a wide barrier at Bendigo but he spaced a 56 field this trip at Echuca prior. Has a low barrier and is in the mix. TARAKASH (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.7 lengths from the winner in third over 1618m at Echuca. Another forward showing is anticipated. CATCH A BREAK (5) may be the best of the remainder, drawn well with a handy 2kg claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to She's Stargazing.
