Gladstone Race 2 - Mdn Plate
PHIL UP (2) met with solid support last start over 1030m at Gympie when third, beaten 12 lengths. Rates highly and expected to atone. BELLAH'S HOPE (3) is yet to break through after seven starts. Placed two back then last time out was fifth, beaten 8 lengths, over 900m at Springsure. Drawn out but has a strong finish. Great chance to break through. TOUGH AS TUNGSTEN (4) turned in a moderate debut over 1412m at Coffs Harbour on March 1 when she was safely held in ninth, 16 lengths from the winner. Plenty of scope for improvement. Top-three chance. KAMALA (5) faded right out of it last time over 1100m at Mackay after showing good early speed and leading for much of the way, eventually finishing eighth. The addition of blinkers should see a bold run.
