Rosso Levanto is the most complete form profile in an open Class 2. From gate 5 with 58kg she settles on-speed behind a lone leader in a slow-tempo staying race, exactly the shape Ipswich rewards. The 1980m is untried, but Tarzino stock stay and the Vandyke/Thompson pairing at 19% signals intent.

FertPro Hcp (C2)
The only runner in the field who has actually won a Class 2 over this sort of trip, doing so at Toowoomba over 1890m from near last three weeks ago. Today she gets in on 54.5kg with the claim, a full 4kg better off, and drops back to the grade she has already beaten.
He also ran 2nd over 1600m on Soft 5 in July under this same 60.0kg. He carries 60.0kg against a field where the main danger is 5.5kg lighter, he is 0 from 6 on soft and 0 from 4 at the distance, the jockey booking is modest, and the form trend is flagged as declining.
A pure value play rather than a winning tip. Today she draws barrier 1 with 54.0kg and an experienced Ipswich rider in Cejay Graham. She has already placed at this track over 2150m and finished 4th in Class 2 there, and her only career win came on soft.

Barrier Reef Pools (Bm65)
The most proven runner in the race for these exact conditions.
The most in-form runner in the race with three wins from four, including a gutsy Heavy 10 victory at Ballina where he sat third and quickened. His soft-track record of two wins from four starts fits the Soft 5 perfectly and Gollan's stable is potent.
He drops slightly in grade, draws well in gate 4 and has trialled twice, finishing fourth over 800m on Soft 5 at Warwick.

Ipswich Party Hire Mdn Hcp
The clear class runner. He drops back to provincial maiden grade, draws a workable midfield gate for a track that rewards forward positions, and has the stable/jockey combination operating at 17%.
Barrier 5 gives him the chance to take a closer, more usable position than usual, which matters on a circuit where back-markers are winless. The reservations are genuine: no placings from three Soft-track runs, and he was comprehensively beaten by Cautionary Tail over today's trip three weeks ago.
The value angle is tempo.

Precinct Urban Planning Hcp (58)
Heart 'n' Power drops from a BM68 and was held up when finishing 4th over this 1350m at Ipswich on Soft 5. That form reads clearly above today's R58 opposition.
Vostokova ran third in this same class and distance at Ipswich two runs ago, and the inside gate combined with a slow tempo should see her prominent throughout. Her soft-track record shows two placings from two starts, while the Heavy 10 failure last start is easily excused. She is an on-pace horse at a track that clearly favours forward runners.
Fiery Lass broke through with a tough maiden win at Sunshine Coast on Soft 5 and has kept the same jockey, which is a positive. However, this is a clear step up in class and she has never raced at Ipswich. In a race where on-pace runners are favoured, her likely midfield position from barrier 8 is a concern, so she rates as the third of the main chances.
Tartan Tiger ran third over this exact Ipswich 1350m trip in CL1 earlier in the prep and now draws the inside section with only 11 rivals.

TAB Mdn Hcp
Snitzstream brings the strongest sustained form line, with three seconds and a third from eight starts, highlighted by a close Sunshine Coast maiden second on Aug 9. The wide draw is the main concern, but her early speed should see her roll forward and exploit Ipswich's pronounced on-pace bias.
Gollan's first-up record and her own first-up placing suggest she will be ready to run well. Barrier 7 is ideal given the Ipswich sprint bias. The query is the lengthy spell and Moor's recent cold run, but her class makes her the chief threat.
The Harry Angel x Leopard Skin cross gives speed credentials, and Boris Thornton is capable at Ipswich.
Bay Of The South maps perfectly for the lead from barrier 2 in a moderate tempo, and her last two maiden runs have been close enough to suggest she is nearing a breakthrough. First-time blinkers and tongue tie are positive gear changes. The knock is that all five starts have been on Good, but Soft 5 should not be a problem for a Gollan-trained mare with early toe, making her the value play.

Schweppes Hcp (60)
He has trialled well and maps to settle just off the speed from barrier 2, which suits Ipswich's on-pace bias. The rise from Maiden to Restricted 60 is a query, but this is a thin small-field sprint and he appears the most likely winner.
He maps on-speed and should handle the 1100m despite no record at it.
The step to Restricted 60 is significant, but he is a Written By gelding with sprinting pedigree, gets winkers for the first time, and carries light weight. In a small race with limited depth, he can measure up and is the clear third pick.
Best chance on exposed form. La Profecia has been competitive in CL1/R58 company, leading in both latest starts and finishing only around two lengths away at Doomben. He is a proven soft-track winner at Ipswich and gets a good draw. The Gollan/Maloney combination is a major positive, and blinkers first time look designed to sharpen him.
Majestic Louvre is racing consistently, runner-up over 1100m at Warwick before a close third at Dalby, and he has the early speed to take full advantage of barrier 1 on an Ipswich track that rewards on-pace runners.

AVS Security Hcp (60)
She is fit, from a leading stable, and her early speed fits the on-pace Ipswich profile. The 1100m trip is within range despite only one placing at the distance. Her winless soft-track record is a concern, but she has placed on the surface and remains the most likely winner on overall form.
She is proven on soft tracks, has placed in three of five Ipswich starts, and finished second over this course and distance in Rest 58 two runs back. From barrier 3 she can settle on the speed while the predicted fast tempo puts pressure on wider leaders. The main queries are her veteran profile and last-start failure, but her class and suitability make her a serious each-way threat.
Mercatello is an emerging Snitzel mare from the Gollan stable with only five career runs and clear scope for improvement. She broke her maiden at Eagle Farm over 1200m and has shown enough early speed to hold a forward position from barrier 6. The negatives are the step up to Restricted 60, a long absence, and limited wet-track evidence.
She drops from Class 3 to Restricted 60 and owns a strong wet-track profile with 1 win and 3 placings from 5 soft starts. Her last two runs in stronger company produced a 2nd and a 4th, and barrier 5 suits the on-pace Ipswich bias.

Cruice Creations Hcp (58)
Clubhouse is the most reliable winning chance in an open Restricted 58. He has 10 starts at this Ipswich 1350m trip for a win, a second and two thirds, and is 8-13 placed on soft. His recent form through this grade includes a second and third here, and Andrew Mallyon has ridden him well before.
Concerns are a modest 0-2 record at 1350m, top weight, and Daniel Moor's quiet recent form. He remains the main danger to Clubhouse.
Shining Proisir showed sharp ability in a short campaign, winning a maiden at Rockhampton and placing twice in five starts.
Brutal Glory is the likely leader and Ipswich's pronounced on-pace, inside bias suits him. He has won on a heavy track at this course and remains lightly raced with just nine starts. He is the value play against the main hopes.
