Hydrogen Power has good early speed and can negate the outside draw. Tough race. QUEEN OF CORDOBA (14) has been going well without winning, the latest a three-length sixth on a wet track over a mile at Murtoa. Worth noting the only time on firmer footing in her career was the win of her maiden. Suited here and gets a chance to find winning form. SAVANNAH CHILL (10) looks a top chance in this and may well have been on top for the horror draw. Form is strong for this, including a near miss last time at Moe and with any luck in running will go close. HABITUAL (12) is a progressive type who stepped up to a mile last time and raced right away with a five-length win. Has upside and can go on with it. CALLISTEMON (8) wasn't far away in similar grade last time and best figures stack up. SURFY PETE (7) scored a strong on-speed win last time and can give a sight again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Queen Of Cordoba gets her chance.
