Mississippi Dream brings the strongest recent form into this race with a close 2nd last start at Sunshine Coast. The David Vandyke-trained mare has shown improvement with each run and gets the services of top jockey Ryan Maloney. The addition of a tongue tie should help her breathing, and from barrier 8 she should get a nice midfield position in running. Looks ready to break through.
Hidden Future showed promise on debut with a 2nd placing at Gold Coast and should improve second-up. The Jimmy Downes-trained filly draws perfectly in barrier 2, which is crucial at Ipswich's tight-turning track. With the weight advantage as a 3yo filly and natural improvement expected, she looks a genuine winning chance. Angela Jones knows how to ride this track well.
French Riviera resumes from a spell with a perfect barrier 1 draw at Ipswich's leader-favoring track. The Richard Laming-trained mare has a good first-up record with 1 placing from 2 attempts and gets the services of in-form jockey Kyle Wilson-Taylor. The addition of ear muffs pre-race should help her settle better. Drawn to get the perfect run.
Despite the wide barrier, she should be able to find cover midfield and finish strongly. The significant class drop is a big plus.

He's dropping significantly in class after racing in Open company and has been consistently placing with 3 thirds from 5 starts. His tactical speed suits Ipswich's tight turning track, and he should get an ideal run from barrier 8. The Ben Thompson/Sears combination adds further confidence.
He's been a consistent placegetter with 4 thirds from 8 starts and has shown ability on Good tracks. The barrier (9) isn't ideal at Ipswich's tight track, but he has tactical speed to overcome it. Emily Lang is a positive jockey booking, and the addition of ear muffs first time could help his focus in the run.
He draws perfectly in barrier 2, which is crucial at Ipswich's tight-turning track. The Chris Anderson stable is in good form, and Micheal Hellyer is a positive jockey booking.
The addition of winkers for the first time could sharpen his focus, and he's proven on Soft tracks with a placing from two starts. The wide barrier (12) is the main concern at Ipswich's tight track, but he has enough ability to overcome it.

Tropic Sands brings the strongest recent form into this race with a win and two seconds in his last three starts. His last-start win at Gold Coast Poly over 2000m was impressive, carrying 61.5kg to victory. The good track suits, and his proven ability to handle 2000m suggests the 1950m will be ideal. Barrier 6 gives options at Ipswich's tight track.
Grey Northern comes into this race in peak form with back-to-back wins, most recently scoring narrowly at Gold Coast over 1800m just 5 days ago. The 6yo mare carries only 54kg and gets the services of Jake Bayliss. While she's rising in class, her lightweight and good draw should allow her to settle in a handy position, crucial at Ipswich's tight-turning track. Her good track record (4 wins from 19 starts) suits today's conditions.
Uncommon Valour brings strong credentials with an excellent record at Ipswich (1-5-1 from 8 starts). While carrying topweight of 60kg is a concern, he's proven capable at these weights. His recent form has been patchy, but the class drop and return to a favored track could spark improvement. Barrier 8 is the main negative at this tight-turning track.

Her recent form is excellent with a win two starts back followed by a close 2nd in Class 1 company. She's improving with each run and gets in well at the weights. The inside draw should allow her to utilize her tactical speed at a track that heavily favors on-pace runners.
The Tony Gollan-trained filly gets the services of top jockey Ryan Maloney and is dropping significantly in class from open company. Her second-up record (1:1-0-1) is encouraging, though the wide barrier is a concern at this leader-biased track. Should be finishing strongly if she can overcome the positional disadvantage.
Galactic Star was impressive winning on debut at this track and distance, showing natural ability. The Stuart Kendrick-trained gelding has the advantage of proven Ipswich form and handles soft tracks. Ben Thompson retains the ride after their successful debut partnership.
He's a proven winner at this distance (1:1-0-0) and handles soft/heavy tracks well (4:2-1-0).

Swag brings the strongest and most consistent form to this race with three seconds from six starts. The return to 1200m suits perfectly, and he's proven on Good tracks with two seconds from two attempts. Ryan Maloney takes the ride and should position him perfectly on speed from barrier 11.
Enforceable brings solid form with two seconds from three career starts. First-up today after 132 days but has been competitive when fresh. The wide barrier (18) is a significant concern at Ipswich, but his early speed should allow him to push forward and overcome this disadvantage. Proven on Soft tracks but untested on Good.
She has a strong affinity with this track, recording one second from three starts here. The wide barrier (13) is a concern at this track, and she'll likely settle back in a race that typically favors on-pace runners. Improving with each run this preparation.
The main query is his lack of experience.

The Catch brings strong credentials with an excellent record at Ipswich over this distance (5: 2-2-0). Perfectly drawn in barrier 2 to utilize his early speed at this leader-favoring track. While carrying top weight, he drops significantly in class from recent metro runs. His on-pace style is ideal for Ipswich's tight turning track with its short straight.
Chasing Jackley comes into this race in excellent form, winning last start at Toowoomba over a similar distance. His consistent recent record (2-1-3 in last 5) suggests he's in career-best form. Well drawn in barrier 5 to secure a good position at this tight-turning track, and his mid-pack racing style should be suited by the likely fast tempo.
His adaptable racing style will allow him to find a position despite the wide draw, and he should be suited by the likely fast tempo. Has proven competitive at this class level and is ready to peak third-up from a spell.
Flying Bat represents excellent value returning from a spell with a perfect barrier 1 draw at this leader-favoring track. His record at Ipswich is impressive (4: 2-0-1) and he performs well fresh (3: 1-0-0). Likely to lead or be right on the pace, which is a significant advantage at Ipswich with its tight turns and short straight. The class rise is offset by the perfect draw and racing pattern.
