Ipswich Party Hire Hcp (C2)
Significant class dropper who has been competing admirably in much stronger company. Previous form around this distance range is strong and the likely moderate-fast tempo should suit his racing pattern. Despite the weight, this represents his easiest assignment in some time.
Lightly-raced improver who has shown good tactical versatility in recent starts. Gets in well at the weights as a 3YO and should get a nice run just off the speed. Main query is the step up to 1350m but breeding suggests it should suit.
Comes into this off a strong last-start win and draws to get an ideal run just off the speed. Has been racing consistently without winning and the step up to 1350m looks suitable. Main query is the class rise but gets conditions to suit.
Has shown ability at this track and distance previously and should appreciate the likely genuine tempo.
