Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Immortal Bliss. IMMORTAL BLISS (14) is a promising three-year-old set to return for the sharp Peter Hardacre camp. Impressed in her debut prep and strips fitter for a nice Morphettvile trial. Has enough pace to offset the wide alley and looks the one to beat. THE JOURNO (5) was a barnstorming winner here fresh last campaign and then couldn't quite go on with it and was forever running on. Lacks tactical speed but will prove tough to stop if the haps appear. ROCKSTAR MEGGSY (3) shoulders best figures that measure up but has been lacking consistency. Steps back in trip of 56-day freshen and is worth keeping safe. BLANC VISAGE (11) has been much better in her last two and is in the mix with Holder piloting. SUGGESTED PLAY: Immortal Bliss to win. Each-way saver Rockstar Meggsy.
