8Red Feather Boa
Red Feather Boa offers strong each-way value from the coveted barrier one position. Recent Gatton victories demonstrate current ability and upward trajectory, while the 1100m distance suits perfectly with an excellent strike rate. The inside barrier provides crucial advantage at pace-biased Ipswich, though the class rise presents the main concern.
3rd pickWon
3Bravely
The 1100m distance suits perfectly with a strong strike rate, while barrier three allows tactical flexibility. Recent form shows inconsistency but the Lismore placing indicates retained competitive ability at this level.
Value pick3rd
4Cinque Terre
The mare showed quality winning form in North Queensland before the spell, and blinkers resumption suggests stable confidence. While the wide barrier presents challenges at Ipswich, the fresh legs and class edge provide upset potential.

Daitanna brings the perfect tactical advantage with barrier 1 at this leaders-biased track. Her recent maiden win shows she's found form, and the inside draw allows her to control the race from the front.
