GOING: S(5)

EASTER IN BLOOM LONG LUNCH Maiden Plate (QTIS bonuses applicable 2&3YO's only) 1300m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: True.  

A race that lacks early pressure on paper. BOLD CHANGE (1) has threatened at Rockhampton his last two and was a $3 favourite over 1200m the most recent. Has been kept on the fresh side and jumps from a low gate with the winkers on again. Suited and can break through. BELVEDERE MISS (11) missed a whisker here over 1100m on debut and then settled a long way back at Rockhampton over 1400m and did a good job to be beaten 2.4L. Will be fitter again and from the rail she should enjoy a softer run. Rates to make the finish. NOTFORTHEMONEY (5) is in a top barn and Wiggins rides for the first time. Improved to place over 1400m at Rockhampton and can feature with average luck pushing forward. READY AND BETTA (6) has been within range his last two and will sit back and come late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bold Change to win.
