While form is unknown, the combination of draw, weight, and jockey booking makes this the logical second choice in a race lacking depth.
The most experienced of the maidens with proven ability at this track.
A speculative value play banking on significant improvement from gear changes and the gelding operation. The trainer/jockey combination has shown success, and first-up horses can improve dramatically.

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

Great Northern (Bm65)
Won at Ipswich previously and drops significantly in class from Open company. Sean Cormack's outstanding 43% strike rate at this track is a major positive, and the inside barrier draw suits the position-critical nature of Ipswich.
Experienced performer dropping significantly in class with proven Ipswich form. Has won at this track before and the class drop from Open company is substantial. Emily Lang is a capable jockey, but the wide barrier and recent form decline are concerns at this position-dependent track.
The class rise is significant, but the improving trajectory and light weight provide hope.

Progressive type with excellent recent form and ideal barrier draw. The inside barrier is crucial at Ipswich, and recent close placings suggest a win is imminent. Blinkers removal could be the key change needed.
Lightly raced filly showing improvement with strong recent placing.

Gordon''s Gin Hcp (C1)
His ability to settle forward from barrier 6 perfectly suits Ipswich's position-dependent layout, and the slight class drop aids his chances.
His barrier 4 draw and proven connections provide confidence, though the class rise and top weight present challenges in this competitive field.
Her consistent recent form and proven distance ability, combined with the quality stable, make her a solid value proposition in a competitive field.

Ryan Maloney's booking adds confidence, and the horse's trajectory suggests readiness for this step up in class despite distance concerns.
Kalkanli offers strong place prospects with proven suitability for Ipswich and the 2200m distance. The narrow 2nd last start at this track over similar distance provides confidence, though the win rate remains a concern. Good barrier draw should ensure a forward position.
The class drop and weight relief are positives, but the wide barrier and recent form gap present challenges in this staying test.
The narrow defeat at Kilcoy suggests improvement, and the Ipswich record provides confidence.

Seven (Bm70)
The inside barrier is crucial at Ipswich and Thornton's booking suggests stable confidence. Despite limited experience, the class drop and speed advantage make him a strong winning chance.
She's a place chance but vulnerable to more experienced runners.
Fortuneer offers value based on recent improvement and good Ipswich record. The wide barrier is concerning but her track experience and distance suitability provide hope.
