Better Sweet showed promise on debut with a 3rd placing and returns as a more mature 3yo filly. The Michael Nolan-trained runner carries just 53kg and should have natural improvement.
The gear change (nasal strip off) could spark improvement, and the advantageous barrier 6 should allow him to position better than his recent runs.
From barrier 2, she should get a good run despite the fast tempo.

Schweppes (Bm58)
The inside draw at Ipswich is perfect for his forward racing style, and Anthony Allen retains the ride. While stepping up in class, he has the tactical speed crucial for Ipswich's tight-turning track and should get an ideal run from barrier 3. The expected fast tempo suits his proven on-pace ability.
The David Vandyke-trained gelding is improving with each run and has proven soft track ability. However, the wide barrier at Ipswich's tight-turning track is a significant concern, especially with the short run to the first turn.
Miss Leana draws the coveted inside barrier at Ipswich's tight-turning track, giving her a significant tactical advantage. Her recent form is solid with a win followed by a narrow second last start. The barrier advantage at this track cannot be underestimated.
While inconsistent overall, she's won at this distance and carries a light weight.

Great Northern Mdn Hcp
Her 2nd placing last start at Gold Coast was full of merit, and her tactical versatility from barrier 4 is ideal for Ipswich's tight turning track. With a fast tempo likely, her ability to settle midfield and finish strongly gives her a significant edge. The consistent improvement curve suggests she's ready to break through.
Second-up today and with natural improvement expected, he maps to get the perfect run from barrier 1 at this tight-turning track. His strong 4th last start showed he's ready to take the next step, and the 1350m looks ideal for his running style. The inside draw is crucial at Ipswich.
The inside draw (barrier 3) is crucial at Ipswich's tight-turning track, and the addition of blinkers first time could provide the focus needed to break through. His tactical speed should allow him to settle in a forward position, which is advantageous at this venue. Previous track experience is another plus.
Her recent improvement with a solid 6th last start at Warwick showed signs of form returning, and her middle barrier (10) aligns with the track's recent bias.

Ian Leavers Memorial (Bm62)
Aboveforty brings the strongest credentials with a last-start win at this track over 2160m. C.J. Waller-trained 4YO with scope for further improvement as he steps up in trip.
Lovey Dovey brings solid recent form with consecutive placings before a respectable 5th last start over 2212m. C.J. Natural progression suggests she's ready for this trip, though she's yet to win beyond 1666m.
Jimmy Nails brings solid staying credentials with a last-start 3rd over 2212m. Consistent performer with strong form at 2000m+ distances and an improving pattern. Versatile running style should help overcome the wider draw. While his win strike rate is modest (2 from 23), his consistency and proven stamina make him a genuine place chance.
Up And Comer represents excellent value coming off a last-start win at 2000m. Has a strong record at staying trips (1-0-1 at 2150m) and an improving form pattern. Experienced mare with tactical versatility should handle the moderate-fast tempo.

Gordon''s Gin Hcp (C4)
Progressive 4YO gelding showing significant upside with 3 wins from just 7 starts. Excellent second-up record winning both previous attempts when second-up. Last start 4th at Ipswich over 1350m when resuming was solid, and his tactical speed suits this track perfectly. The step up to 1666m looks suitable based on his racing pattern, and barrier 7 gives options at this tricky circuit.
Lightly-raced 4YO gelding with perfect record at this distance winning both previous attempts over the mile. Gets in with just 52kg and draws the inside gate which is crucial at Ipswich. Last start 5th at Gatton when finishing strongly suggests he's ready to peak third-up.
7YO gelding coming off an impressive win at Kilcoy over 1500m just 22 days ago. Has placed at this track previously and his two placings from four attempts at this distance suggest he'll handle the trip. Leslie Tilley retains the ride after their last-start success.
7YO gelding who scored impressively last start at Toowoomba over this trip. While barrier 9 is a concern at Ipswich, he should get a genuine tempo which will suit his running style. The 28-day freshen-up looks ideal and Tiffani Brooker is a positive jockey booking.

Barrier Reef Pools (Bm65)
Blantons Run brings strong credentials with a solid Ipswich record (3:1-0-1) and is dropping significantly in class after competing in Listed and Open company. From barrier 5, she should get a midfield position and with her proven finishing ability, she represents strong place value.
Alfa Lily brings winning form to this race after scoring at this track last start. Her excellent Ipswich record (6:2-0-1) and particularly strong track/distance statistics (4:2-0-1) are significant positives. Despite the wide barrier, her improving form line and weight advantage (55.5kg) give her strong claims. Her versatile racing pattern allows her to adapt to different pace scenarios.
Thee Creek brings the strongest credentials with a perfect Ipswich record and significant class relief after competing in much stronger metro company. His soft track record (5:2-0-0) adds confidence if conditions deteriorate.
While first-up from a spell, her fresh record (4:0-0-2) suggests she can perform well without a lead-up run. Her proven ability on soft tracks (10:2-0-2) is another positive if conditions deteriorate.

Seven (Bm78)
From barrier 3, she'll get the perfect run at this tight-turning track where inside draws are crucial. Her recent form is solid with a 4th last start at Eagle Farm, and she won two starts back over 1240m. The mare maps to settle midfield with tactical speed to position ideally.
Her 21% win strike rate and proven ability at Ipswich (1: 1-0-0) are significant positives. The main challenge is overcoming barrier 12 at this tight-turning track where wide draws are disadvantageous. However, her lightweight (53.5kg) and tactical speed should help her overcome this. She's stepping up in class but has the form to be competitive.
Treporti brings solid recent form with a 2nd place finish last start at this track. From barrier 4, he'll get an ideal run at this tight-turning track. His track record (5: 0-2-1) and track/distance record (3: 0-1-1) show he handles Ipswich well. The 24-day freshen-up is ideal, though his 10% win strike rate suggests he's more reliable for place than win.
He's dropping significantly in class after racing in stronger company, and his record on good tracks (12: 5-3-1) is excellent. Barrier 7 aligns with the track's middle-barrier bias.

Tempus Two Plate (C2)
Savagery Vibe brings metropolitan class to this provincial race, having competed admirably in open company at Caulfield and Flemington. The drop to Class 2 represents significant class relief, and she should be able to utilize her tactical speed to overcome the slightly awkward barrier at this tight-turning track.
Cindersea is an intriguing prospect resuming from a lengthy spell. The Michael Freedman-trained mare gets in with just 55kg and has drawn favorably in barrier 5, which should allow her to secure a good position at this leader-friendly track. Her class drop from metropolitan racing is significant.
Jenchick Boom brings solid credentials to this race with an excellent record at Ipswich (1-1-0 from 2 starts) and a strong first-up record. The T.J. Gollan-trained mare has shown consistency throughout her career with 2 wins and 4 placings from 10 starts. While resuming from a spell, her previous fresh performances suggest she can run well, and her midfield draw gives options at this tight-turning track.
The inside draw is perfect for Ipswich's tight-turning track, and his forward racing pattern should be advantageous. While rising in class is a concern, his progressive profile suggests further improvement, and the K. Schweida stable knows how to prepare horses for this track.
