Strong tempo from Hydrogen Power off the inside, joined by Strummer and Brassi Road. GALPIN (12) has a wide gate to manage, but she brings strong form, and a talented hoop is reunited. Won a Kyneton Maiden comfortably as expected and then raced in stronger than this in Adelaide, and did a good job, beaten 2.4L in a 62. She has more upside than most of these. HYDROGEN POWER (4) is free running and followed a comfortable win here this grade/trip with a 1.3L defeat in a Ballarat 64. That's good form, and he will use the inside gate. Feared. DARTBOARD (6) jumped awkwardly but finished it well, placing in a 64 at Terang. He has more to give and should go close. COLOUR BLAST (5) is lightly raced and in a leading stable. Found the grade a bit rich second-up but will be fitter and Yendall is a key jockey engagement. Has to be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Galpin.
