Eagle Farm Race 2 - The Gibson Mdn Plate
Tricky race to assess with a few of these facing the starter for the first time. Of the raced brigade BIG DEMEANOR (1) has had a few chances but has been knocking on the door of a maiden victory and strikes a winnable contest here. Revved up for this with a recent trial win and gets the deadly Gollan/Jones combination. Can return a winner. BUNDELLA (2) was well in the market when having his first run for the new stable and where there's smoke there's fire. Respect with Maloney on board. The well-related A TOUCH FROM FAYT (5) (half to G3 winner Wapiti) only narrowly went down on debut and will have taken a lot from that race day experience. In the mix. FREEDOM TO ROAM (9) also hails from a handy family (half to 2xG1 winner Converge) and any market support must be noted. CAPITAL BEAUTY (8) has placed two of three overall and may earn some minor money again.

Resumes after a break of five-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign fourth of 8 at Doomben Mdn-Sw October 9 over 1350m, soft track; 3.5 len behind Tuff Tu Mus carrying 58.5kg at $6. Previously first up; second of 11 at Rockhampton 2&3yo Mdn-Sw July 12 over 1200m, soft track; a long neck behind Blue Kentucky Girl carrying 58kg at $1.80. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Expected to feature.

Gelding by Better Than Ready facing the starter for the first time. Full-brother to winner La Ready Rosa. Dam was a winner of one race. Has looked handy in his trials leading into this. Runner-up in a Eagle Farm trial over 800m on March 13. Pay to keep an eye on betting moves.

Half-sister to Group 3 winner Wapiti. At debut, 2nd of 10 at Sunshine Coast F&M Mdn-Sw on March 16 over 1000m, on a slow track; nose behind Dazzling Diamond carrying 58kg at $21. Improvement to come and looks hard to beat.

Resuming after a break of six-and-a-half months. Finished off last campaign when last of 12 at Bairnsdale Mdn-Sw September 9 over 1200m, 11 len behind Inexorable with 57.5kg at $13. When resuming last campaign fourth of 11 at Ballarat Synthetic 4yo+ Mdn-Sw August 6 over 1200m, 4 len behind Lord Admiral with 57.5kg at $9.50. Doubt she will have much to offer first-up.

Three-year-old filly making debut by Divine Prophet out of Conversely. Half-sister to dual-Group 1 winner Converge. Was second in a Deagon barrier trial over 1050m March 18. Makes debut on home track, jumps from a favourable gate and expected to run well.

First starter. Three-year-old filly by Neorealism out of Felt In Pocket. Half-sister to three-start maiden Takeaway. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1050m at Deagon March 18. Others preferred.
