8Zoustrology
His finishing ability is proven, though the wide barrier is a significant concern at position-critical Ipswich. The Thompson booking and stable form provide confidence, but he'll need luck from the back in a fast tempo.
2nd pick4th
5Bear Oil
Bear Oil presents intriguing value as a debut runner with outstanding trial form. Three trial wins suggest ability, and the good barrier draw suits Ipswich's bias. First-time blinkers and class drop add appeal, though debut status and unknown race temperament create uncertainty.
3rd pickScratched
1Gram
Gram presents the strongest winning chance despite the wide barrier. Second up from a spell with an impressive trial win, dropping significantly in class from metro maiden level. The Gollan stable and Jones combination provides confidence, though the wide draw and predicted fast tempo are concerns.
Value pick2nd

The significant class drop and workable barrier provide opportunity, though his inability to win despite placings is concerning.
