Verdict

SHE'S STARGAZING (4) is a talented filly who will find this a lot more suitable than the Clare Lindop (Laelia) Stakes over 1m at Morphettville. Won a Kilmore Maiden over 7 ¼f 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 1m at Echuca. Another forward showing is anticipated.
