RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: The Good Friday meeting kicks off with the first of two heats for the Pleasant Creek Plate, where qualifiers move through to a $10,000 final as race nine on the card. BETTORSWEETVICTORY (3) is flying for trainer Ross Graham with powerful, dominant victories his last two at Charlton and Bendigo. They’ve been in easier grade than this, but he’s been so impressive and full of running that he has to go on top here. Stablemate FINAL BOW (7) is also hitting the line hard lately and must be respected despite the awkward gate, HUXHAM CHUBB (10) backed up some good runs at Charlton and Ararat with an easy win at Terang on Friday, while FOREGONE CONCLUSION (5) has been close-up in harder races his last four, but has drawn gate one on every occasion. He’s unlikely to find the fence here.
