Ararat Race 5 - Ararat Concrete (Bm56)
HYDROGEN POWER (2) was quickly back to form over 1600m at Swan Hill, beaten a nose. Led them up after working over from a wide gate. Maps well today, and Yendall continues his association. Has strong prospects. THE DAILY PLANET (5) has been busting to win and did a good job from the back beaten just 1.3L in stronger at Geelong. Meech sticks and will give him every chance from the handy gate. IL CIELO (1) is in top form and hasn't missed the frame in his past four starts. Last time out, he scored over 1535m at Geelong. A contender with the benefit of a 4kg claim. KARASMATIC (3) showed more like his best beaten 3L at Pakenham over 1400m. In a top metro barn, Coffey is a key jockey engagement. He's won over this trip and should be right in it. FRIDAY AT FIVE (4) resumes with John Allen in the saddle and rates a chance if presented more forward this time around.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run favourite; won by 0.8 len at Geelong Bm56 March 22 over 1535m defeating Elvis carrying 60.5kg at $2.90. The start before that 3rd of 9 at Echuca Bm56 on March 8 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Positivo carrying 58.5kg at $4.40. Going well and is right in this.
