Flemington Race 3 - Good Friday Appeal Plate (Bm78)
GREAT MAXIMUS (1) finds the right race. Two back he placed in the Listed Durbridge Stakes at Morphettville, solid again here last time when fourth in a stronger race. On paper, 1400m looks some query but he's run well in stronger affairs over the trip and this looks very winnable. RED GALAXY (2) should be an improver third up. The fresh run was good, struggling to get into it down the straight here last time. His 1400m form reads well for this. BONS TO RICHES (5) is going well, just finding one better last time at Cranbourne having won two on the bounce prior. He'll roll forward and be in this for a long way. WATERSPORTS (7) has won two of her past three, too good as favourite last time at Sandown Hillside, now dropping 3.5kg. She should take beating again. INEXORABLE (6) next best.
