Verdict

HYDROGEN POWER (2) stepped up to 1600m at Tatura and was beaten a whisker from the pace in stronger grade. Carries more weight but winning rider Yendall is reunited and the gelding presents on a 7-day return. Is likely to control the race and will take plenty of stopping. WEATHER DELAY (3) is third-up and has more to give over the longer journey. He's won here over this distance and should enjoy the run of the race. Hurdle stays aboard. I'LLBETHERE (1) was heavily bet when winning his Maiden over a mile at Donald. He's in a smart barn and fitter will bet every chance to take the next step. KOKONOTSU (4) is hard to catch but has the ability and should be around the mark.

Form hard to fault. Last start held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at Tatura Bm62 on December 14 over 1600m, long-neck behind Frontline Action carrying 59.5kg at $13. The race before that 3rd of 7 at Hay Hay Cup Bm75 on November 22 over 1400m, 5 len behind Blitzar carrying 55kg at $4.60. Deserves another chance.
