GOING: G

GD & SL O'Sullivan Builders BM64 Handicap 1600m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.29)  

Small field in which Hydrogen Power can find the front comfortably at a moderate tempo. HALF YOURS (2) brought compelling form to resumption and missed a whisker off a wide gate at Sandown-Hillside. Proven second-up and maps well today. Well-placed, and he's the one they have to beat. FLY LIE (1) was tough when placed at Ballarat first-up. He's won second-up and has more to give. Has a 1.5kg claim, but he settles back and the inside barrier is a niggle. HYDROGEN POWER (7) is busting to win. He may control the race and is well in the mix. MORRISSETTE (5) brings good form over middle distances. He's been freshened and has jumped out well. Has a senior hoop aboard and should be hitting the line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Half Yours.
