Bless and Combat Maneuvers


Rules Questions

Would Bless affect a combat maneuver that takes the place of an attack?
The spell Bless reads: pg249 PFRPG

"Bless fills your allies with courage. Each ally gains a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and on saving throws against fear effects."

When making a combat maneuver that takes the place of an attack would Bless affect that roll?
The first sentence of Trip reads: pg:201 PFRPG

"You can attempt to trip your opponent in place of a melee attack."

Our group pondered it for a few minutes but never came to a definite conclusion. What do you guys think?

It applies (PF core rulebook):

"Add any bonuses you currently have
on attack rolls due to spells, feats, and other effects."
