More Love ticks all the right boxes for this Ipswich Class 3. The likely fast tempo plays into her hands as a strong finisher. She is the most reliable winning chance based on form and suitability.

Davikar is a horse with a sharp win rate and proven ability at the track and distance, having won a BM65 over this course in January. She drops from Class 4 to Class 3 here and maps perfectly from barrier 4. Her fresh run was solid and she is likely to strip fitter second-up.

Piston Rebel is the standout selection based on exceptional course/distance suitability (3 wins from 4 at Ipswich 1666m) combined with a significant class drop and ideal barrier draw. The gelding won at this track six weeks ago and ran a solid third last start carrying 61kg. Dropping to 56kg from barrier 2 on a track that heavily favours inside draws and forward positions, he maps perfectly to control from the front or settle just off the pace.

I'm Heroic presents as the main danger with strong recent form including a narrow second in BM78 company last start. The gelding's wet-track credentials are excellent (4 wins on Heavy/Soft) and while today's Good 4 isn't ideal, recent form suggests adaptability. Barrier 4 provides tactical options on this tight circuit, and the consistent placing record (6 from last 10) indicates reliability. However, the complete absence of Good track wins (0 from 16) is a significant concern that prevents top selection, despite the strong recent form and suitable class level.

Bluepinot enters off a confidence-boosting Doomben win and presents solid each-way value. The Blue Point gelding's last start victory in BM70 came at the exact 1350m trip, demonstrating distance suitability. The light 53.5kg impost and inside-middle barrier provide tactical advantages. However, concerns exist around jockey form (0 from 20) and lack of Ipswich experience.

The Yes Yes Yes mare drops dramatically from Group 3 company where she ran competitive races at Scone and Hawkesbury. The crucial barrier 1 draw at Ipswich provides a significant positional advantage. While concerns exist around the 34-day break and lack of course experience, the class drop is substantial enough to offset these factors.

Our price $4.00 · SP $5.50 · Michael Rodd

The Irish presents as the most reliable winning chance based on current form and track suitability. Last-start BM78 winner at Doomben over 2200m in soft conditions, he brings proven class and a strong Ipswich record (2 wins from 3 starts). The Rodd/Healy combination is firing at 40%, and the horse has shown versatility across conditions. The predicted slow tempo favours his midfield settling pattern and strong finish.

Our price $8.00 · SP $13.00 · Corey Sutherland

While the class rise from BM68 to BM78 is significant, his consistent placings at this track suggest he can be competitive at this level. The light 53.5kg weight is a major advantage, and barrier 5 allows him to settle in his preferred midfield position. His recent form trend is improving (2-3-4), and the predicted slow tempo suits his racing pattern. However, the class rise and preference for wet tracks (last win on soft) are legitimate concerns on today's Good 4 surface.

Our price $5.50 · SP $7.00 · Ryan Maloney

Surprise Honey's perfect Ipswich record (2 from 2) is a strong positive, and she handles Good tracks well (4-3-2). The class drop from BM85 to BM78 is in her favour, and the elite Gollan/Maloney combination (15% strike rate, Maloney 30% recent form) adds confidence. However, barrier 13 is a major concern on this tight circuit where wide runners struggle (13+ barriers 0% win rate in recent sample). Her recent form is declining (7th and 5th last two), and she hasn't won since September 2025. The moderate tempo may not generate enough pressure for her to finish strongly from midfield. Despite the Ipswich record, the wide barrier and recent form make her vulnerable.

Our price $9.00 · SP $6.50 · Fiona Sandkuhl

He won last start at BM78 level on Soft 7, proving he belongs at this grade. His Soft track record (4-2-0) is strong, though today's Good 4 is not ideal (1-4-1 on Good). The light 56.5kg weight and Sandkuhl's strong recent form (20% last 20) are positives. The moderate tempo may not generate enough pressure for him to finish strongly, but the inside barrier allows him to control his own destiny. His Ipswich record (0-1-0 from 4) is modest, but the barrier draw and last start win at this grade make him a genuine chance.

Our price $4.00 · SP $5.50 · Jake Bayliss

Navy Pilot has the class edge with a Group 1 placing and returns to a winnable Open handicap. He ran well at Ipswich over 1350m last year and should appreciate the strong tempo to produce a late finish. Must overcome a poor last run, but the drop in class is a positive.

Our price $4.50 · SP $6.00 · Robbie Dolan

Cavalry Man is the in-form horse of the race having won a BM90 at Eagle Farm. He carries only 53kg and should race forward. The main queries are the step up in class and the 2150m distance—he was well beaten over 2200m previously. Still, his current form warrants high respect and a place chance at least.

Our price $8.00 · SP $6.00 · Mark Du Plessis

Prince Levi is a consistent gelding with strong connections and a proven partnership with Mark Du Plessis.

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.60 · Boris Thornton

Cifrado presents as the most credible winning chance based on form superiority and class edge. The significant class drop from Group 3 to Open is a major positive, and his record at this track (1-1-0) shows genuine affinity. While the wide barrier and 60kg are concerns on this tight circuit, his quality and recent form progression outweigh these negatives. The moderate tempo should allow him to settle midfield and finish strongly, which aligns with his winning pattern.

Our price $8.00 · SP $9.00 · Martin Harley

Melody Again brings consistent Group/Listed form and the significant advantage of barrier 3 on Ipswich's tight circuit. The light 56kg and inside draw are major assets, allowing her to settle handy and control her position. However, lack of 1350m and Ipswich experience introduces uncertainty, and 35 days between runs may impact peak fitness. The gear changes suggest stable confidence in sharpening her performance.

Our price $12.00 · SP $4.80 · Cejay Graham

The inside barrier (2) is a premium draw on Ipswich's tight circuit, and the light 53kg provides a significant weight advantage. His strong jockey/trainer combination and proven ability fresh make him a live chance despite the 98-day break. However, his poor Good track record (1-4-4 from 17) is a major concern on today's surface, and lack of Ipswich experience adds risk.

Our price $7.00 · SP $13.00 · Daniel Moor

Sunset Dreaming has been racing consistently at BM85 and Listed level, with a close 2nd last start over 1400m and a 3rd over 1200m two runs back. She maps well from barrier 6 and should be midfield, striking late.

Our price $9.00 · SP $8.00 · Ben E Thompson

Give Giggles is a mare with proven class, having won at BM85 and placed in Listed company. Her 4th in the Listed race behind Cigar Flick two starts ago reads well. She maps to be handy from the wide barrier and carries only 55.5kg.

Our price $10.00 · SP $11.00 · Jake Bayliss

She's Exotic has a phenomenal strike rate but takes a significant class leap from BM85 to Listed. Her 3rd in a BM85 last start and a previous win at Ipswich suggest she has the ability to be competitive.
