Launceston Race 7 - Easter Egg Giveaways Good Friday (Bm68)
A small field, but a good contest. TIDEFORD (6) brings strong middle-distance form and led again here last time beaten 1.3L behind SPRING BEAN. Had to cross over from a wide gate and jumps from an inside gate today. Best figures measure up, and on a 7-day return, he can bounce back. NIGHT INVADER (2) below expectations in tougher here, stepping up from a mile to a staying trip. Better placed coming back to 2000m, and three times winning rider Ganderton is reunited. Is capable of turning things around. MONTEZULU (4) did well last start, making up a stack of ground over 1600m at this track, beaten just a half a length. Draws somewhat better today and tackles a middle distance for the first time. He gives every indication that it will suit. SPRING BEAN (1) faces a tougher challenge with extra weight today, but is in the mix.

Form hard to fault. Last start set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 9 at this track Bm68 on March 20 over 2100m, 1.3 len behind Spring Bean with 55kg at $7.50. The race before that won by 2 len at this track Mdn/Cl1-Sw March 4 over 2150m on a rain affected track defeating Merlin Beach with 59kg at $18. Makes his own luck and can bounce.
