Ipswich Picks

Doubt this will prove a reliable form reference. ZOUGO BOSS finished four lengths off the winner last start at Doomben when fresh, hard to go past. CHAMIERRO finished fourth last start at Doomben when first up, don't treat lightly. SHY REBEL likely to race on the speed, the real danger in the race. WHOMSONEVER faded to finish one and a half lengths off the winner at only start at Grafton, in with a chance.

AUTORA only able to place as favourite last start at Ipswich on a soft track but has two placings from three runs this prep and likely to race on the speed in a race with minimal pressure expected, serious player. YOU KAY SQUEEZE placed twice at Ipswich but been unable to get a win and has two placings from four runs this prep, don't dismiss. EFFIE'S JOY finished midfield last start at Doomben and expected to settle off the speed, place best. DULVERTON CHARM has three placings from 10 runs this prep but disappointing last start at Doomben, place chance.

STARZAM goes well on a softer track and placed when fresh, key chance. POSEIDON RULER never in the race last start at Eagle Farm and faces a rise in distance, could upset. SMART AS SMART won once this prep at Ipswich two runs back and faded to finish five lengths off the winner last start at Sunshine Coast, don't treat lightly. SIR LAMORAK finished in the middle of the pack last start at Gold Coast on a soft track and should run fitter for past attempts, place claims.

Ratings suggest top selection will be too good. MACHINE HEAD just missed as favourite last start at Dalby and should race on the speed, major contender. DAWYN'S CHOICE winner at Ipswich and placed once this campaign, place chance. KISS THE COLOURS in strong form with three wins from 11 attempts this campaign and returns to shorter trip, strong place chance. STAR OF KINGS ran fourth last start at Ipswich when resuming. Comes to hand quickly and won at Mendooran when last second-up, place only.

SUNLORD placed last start at Gold Coast when resuming and generally strong second-up winning at Newcastle last second-up attempt, big chance. ISLE ORNSAY 2 wins from 10 attempts this campaign and goes well on a softer track, cannot be ruled out. HE'S ESSENTIAL faded to finish two lengths off the winner last start at Doomben, place hope. MILLWARD just missed at long odds last start at Ipswich when resuming and likes the cut in the ground, place best.

QUEST OF QUESTS last start winner at Ipswich and has very strong form at the track, the testing material. BEEN A SECRET in the money last start running third at Sunshine Coast and won once this prep at Aquis Park Gold Coast Poly three runs back, not the worst. AERIAL ARSENAL winner at Warwick and placed three times this campaign, strong place chance. JEALOUS placed when unwanted in the betting last start at Eagle Farm when resuming and won at Sunshine Coast in only second-up attempt, place best.

NIPPA'S NIGHTCAP came on to finish midfield last start at Doomben and James Orman has had success aboard previously, hard to go past. CHERBOURG on a seven day back-up and placed last start at Ipswich, dangerous. TOOLATEMATE short back-up of seven days and draws to do no work, could threaten. ONE REASON has two placings from three runs this prep but faded to finish ninth last start at Toowoomba, capable of getting into the money.

Can’t imagine one of the top two not winning. RADEGAST just missed at long odds last start at Warwick and will have a soft run from inside gate, one of the main hopes. SUBAQUA has two placings from three runs this prep and in the money last start running third at Beaudesert, expect to be right up there. KENSHIN MARU finished four lengths off the winner last start at Sunshine Coast and rates highly with Boris Thornton aboard, sneaky chance. BACKLIT BEAUTY finished in the middle of the pack last start at Beaudesert on a soft track and returns to shorter trip, looks threatening.

Hard to imagine top pick being beaten. AT WITZ END goes well at Ipswich and rates well in these conditons, one of the picks of the day. LADY WARDELL gave nothing else a chance to win last start at Murwillumbah on a soft track and has outstanding form at this track, strong place chance. MO'S CROWN back after 15 week break and in good shape from recent trial successes, needs the breaks. GENTLE PRINCE should race on the speed, place chance.

Hard to see anything upsetting the top two choices. WANDA'S OUTLAW finished half a length back from the leader last start at Sunshine Coast and likely to settle back in the field, among the main chances. SILVER PEARL proven on softer tracks and rates highly with Georgina Cartwright retaining the ride, must be considered. JOHNNY DASH has two placings from four runs this prep and has placed twice at Ipswich before, cannot be ruled out. NEW JOY has gone well on a softer track and has four placings from five runs this prep, the real danger in the race.

ANDERSEN has placed in both races run and amongst the placegetters last start running second at Doomben when fresh, has solid claims. LONJOURNO came on strong when just beaten last start at Sunshine Coast when first up and should race on the speed, dangerous. RUINS OF ROME has been trialling well in build-up to this prep, looks threatening. CRUMPETS ran fourth last start at Beaudesert when fresh and soft draw, cannot be ruled out.

RASHFORD placed at Gatton in only second-up attempt but came on to finish just behind midfield last start at Eagle Farm when resuming, well placed. BEE EXACT rates highly with Micheal Hellyer aboard and won once this prep at Ipswich three runs back, don't treat lightly. NAAHRO placed at Scone in only second-up attempt and finished midfield last start at Sunshine Coast when first up, looks threatening. POWERFUL EAGLE chased well to fall just short last start at Warwick when first up and drawn perfectly, sneaky chance.

Not much between these. DEVINE FORCE first-up after 19 week break and won at Eagle Farm in first outing, should go well. MILTON ROAD has the speed to overcome an unfavourable draw and won once this prep at Lismore three runs back, among the chances. IMMORTALITY let-up for six weeks and gets the blinkers back on, could threaten. DATA PATCH comes to hand quickly and placed at Aquis Park Gold Coast Poly when last second-up, each-way claims.

PRADO first-up after 13 week break. Comes to hand quickly and placed at Beaudesert when last first-up, perfectly placed. ILANA THE FIRST was a winner at only start at long odds at Beaudesert, not the worst. MADAME PEARL'S a winner at first outing this prep and finished eighth last start at Warwick, chance to place. MYGIRLGLADYS resumes from a 22 week spell and comes to hand quickly, capable of getting into the money.
