Ipswich tips and results

Our price $5.50 · SP $12.00 · Michael J Murphy

English Conqueror is the only runner with proven heavy-track ability, having placed 2nd on a Heavy8 at Kembla Grange. Barrier 3 positions him perfectly for Ipswich's on-speed bias on heavy ground.

Our price $6.50 · SP $8.00 · Damien Boche

Fundora makes strong appeal from the inside gate, which is a major asset on Ipswich heavy ground. His debut 3rd over the same 1350m trip on Soft5 was solid, and he drops in grade from a stronger Toowoomba maiden.

Our price $10.00 · SP $10.00 · Amy Graham

Barrier 2 allows him to take up a forward spot, exactly what's required on Ipswich heavy. His last start was a forgettable run, but prior to that he placed 2nd at Beaudesert in a stronger maiden.

Our price $6.00 · SP $3.50 · Charlie Bennett

Edge Of Infinity has ability and placed in stronger maidens, but she returns from a spell with lackluster trials and faces heavy going for the first time. She may need this run.

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.30 · Karl Zechner

Hidden Future represents a solid each-way chance. She maps well from barrier 2 and drops back from Group 3 class, which is a positive. However, the heavy track is an unknown as she has no starts on it. Her soft track form includes a win and a placing, suggesting she may handle it.

Our price $25.00 · SP $31.00

He maps well from barrier 3 and gets weight off. The class rise is massive, but in heavy conditions class can be neutralized. A speculative value play.

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.40 · Chris Meehan

Zouslayer drops back from BM58 to Class 1 after a close 2nd at Sunshine Coast on Soft7. He has a win at Ipswich on soft ground and Chris Meehan retains the ride. The heavy track is a slight unknown but his soft track form suggests he'll handle it. Should be in the finish.

Picupstixx ran a strong 2nd on a Heavy10 at Grafton last start, beaten a nose. He is second up here and drops to Class 1 level.

Our price $12.00 · SP $11.00 · Charlie Bennett

Hideout is the x-factor. She won her maiden on debut at Beaudesert in good style over 1400m on Soft5. Stepping to 1700m second-up is a query, but the Chris Waller camp often improve with runs. Barrier 2 is ideally drawn for a horse that can settle midfield and take advantage of the inside ground on heavy. She is an each-way chance at best, and the heavy surface is an unknown, but upside is real.

Our price $10.00 · SP $11.00 · Olivia Kendal

Wexford Miss is the value runner. Her heavy-track record (1 win, 1 place from 3 starts) is among the best in the race. She drops from BM58/CL2 grade into this CL1, which is a clear positive, and the return of blinkers could sharpen her up. The main concerns are a moderate recent form line and a wide barrier that might force her back.

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.00 · Boris Thornton

Kalkanli ticks every box for this race: a strong Ipswich performance last time on Heavy, an inside gate, an on-speed running style that suits the track bias, and a jockey with a solid record here. He rises in class but that win was dominant, and he has consistently placed at this distance.

Our price $8.00 · SP $12.00 · Benjamin Osmond

Malecon is the class dropper in the race, having raced in BM70/78 company. His heavy win and on-speed style fit the track.

Our price $7.00 · SP $11.00 · Benjamin Osmond

Pressalong is a sharp mare who brings standout closing speed and rising class into this race. Her recent Poly win followed by a BM82 placing signals she is ready to test this level.

Our price $12.00 · SP $13.00 · Sean Cormack

His recent form includes a handy third at Beaudesert and he drops back to a suitable grade.
