Rail Position: Out 5m entire circuit
Ipswich R1 – Maiden Handicap 1200m
DEMBE is the big query for me resuming from a spell. Competitive in all three starts at first prep and recent Deagon trial win will have him ready for this from inside barrier.
CHATTY LADY started at big odds at Sunshine Coast on debut but she was beaten less than 1 length when placed. Better from the experience and she can figure in this.
DA PARTY GAL has been placed in both her starts and she will not remain a maiden for much longer. She has early speed and expect she will be right in the mix.
READY FOR ANYTHING looked like he would benefit from a sound debut effort and would not leave her out of multiples.
Tip: DEMBE
Ipswich R2 – Maiden Handicap 1200m
MY ODDETTE deserves a maiden win. She has been placed in all four starts and most recent on the heavy round was beaten just over a length. Awkward barrier but she can win this.
DOCTOR JACK comes into this ready third-up from spell. Just missed when kept coming at Beaudesert last start and from inside gate he should get his chance.
THE POWER OF ONE resumes from spell. He was beaten by barest possible margin at Doomben when first-up last time in work and if he produces that form will be in mix.
BEAN A WHILE was placed at Ipswich two starts back then just battled on the heavy last start. She can bounce back on firmer ground.
Tip: MY ODDETTE
Ipswich R3 – Class 3 Handicap 1100m
JOY TOO ALL resumes from spell. Won her maiden in a canter at the Sunshine Coast last time in work and only needs that form to get away with this.
FREDERICK THE DANE is another first-up from spell. He has been placed in two of three fresh tries and from inside gate expect he will be in finish.
UNO AMOR was dominant when fresh at Sunshine Coast last prep and she has super first-up record (5:3-0-0) and cannot leave out of multiples.
GLOCK looked in need of the run when just did not finish race off first-up at Doomben. He will be better from that outing and look for improvement.
Tip: JOY TOO ALL
Ipswich R4 – Class 5 Plate 1200m
Always had an opinion of MCCOVEY COVE and he resumes from spell in what looks a winnable race. His first-up record is super (4:2-2-0) and from ideal barrier like his chances.
ASTRO BOY TOY is another fresh from break. Edmonds/Maloney combination are hard to beat and he has won two of three fresh. He can win.
DRAGON MISS won at Toowoomba two starts back then went to Ipswich and was only claimed late. She will lead these and should take catching.
DALTORO was strong getting the job done at Ipswich last start and he may go on with it here and win again.
Tip: MCCOVEY COVE
Ipswich R5 – Class 2 Handicap 1680m
JAKKALBERRY FINN started long odds on favourite first-up at Sunshine Coast but he found some trouble and just did not finish well enough. Better from that outing and has perfect barrier.
LOCA created a big impression when he powered over them and got the job done at Grafton last start. If he produces that form he will be right in the mix.
DREAM SONG was placed at Beaudesert two back then she was not disgraced last start. If she produces that form she can sneak into a place.
NORTHERN WOODS did not have all that much luck last start and dropped right out. Previous form had been sound and he cannot be left out of multiples.
Tip: JAKKALBERRY FINN
Ipswich R6 – Class 1 Plate 1350m
PRIVATE CHEETAH comes into this ready third-up from spell. Placed at Doomben first-up then went to Gold Coast on heavy ground and again field a placing.
SUNDUS relished the heavy ground to demolish a maiden field at Gold Coast two starts back then she was not beaten all that far here last start. This nice race for her.
COLLEAGUES resumes from spell. Was in the market at Doomben on debut and although never a threat battled on well enough. Solid trial leading into this.
RATIONS is first-up from a break. She has not been placed in two first-up tries but stable though enough of her to take on Listed company last start. Must respect.
Tip: PRIVATE CHEETAH
Ipswich R7 – BM72 Handicap 1350m
BLAZING MAC led them up here last start but just found a couple better late. Comes into this ready third-up from spell and she can win this.
WHY WE DRINK overraced here last start but still did best to get up and win last stride. No reason he cannot go on and win again.
GETYOURGREYON resumes from a spell. He won fresh last time in work and from ideal barrier draw he should get chance to be in finish.
SPOKESMAN just found one a touch better here last start. If he can find some cover early expect he will get his chance.
