Winless but consistent, Blood Red produced his best run last start when a distant second at the Sunshine Coast, despite being slow away. He steps up slightly in trip and should get a handy midfield trip in a moderately run race.
The map suits Chance De Lune, who should lead or sit second from the inside gate in a moderately run race. He was a good second last start over a longer trip. However, he has only one placing from 18 starts and the stable has not won at this track.
Aremkay is lightly raced and has shown improvement, finishing fourth at Eagle Farm after being slowly away. She carries a light weight from a good draw, but she is likely to settle well back and on this tight track that is a negative.
Oakfield Galaxy is a regular placegetter who should be handy from barrier 4, a profile suiting Ipswich and the moderate tempo. He ran second at the Gold Coast synthetic last start and benefits from a rider's claim.

He has been racing in stronger Bm78 and Bm72 grades, running to a winning standard, and now drops in class. His on-pace style suits a slowly run 1965m on a tight track. Win record is modest and connections are quiet, but the class drop and map make him the most likely winner.
A genuinely improving gelding whose last win was the most impressive run in the field. The risk is the class jump from a maiden with top weight in a slow-run race, which could blunt his finish. If he settles closer as he did last start, he is a real danger.
On-pace map benefits and a big class drop make him a place threat. He has often flattered without winning, and he has usually raced further back than the lead he is likely to take today. If he leads untroubled in a slow race he can hold on.
She sits handy in a slow race at a track and trip she has won at. Recent form is flat and the stable is cold, but she has been racing in tougher company and is well weighted by comparison.

Both runs were strong and it has settled handy before, which suits Ipswich. It carries top weight and has no Good track form, and a back-of-field map would hurt it here.
A consistent placegetter who is well placed in the run. A fast tempo with a handy position suits him. The stable knows Ipswich, and the jockey is hot.
She is mapped back today, which is a concern in a race that should be run honestly.
Beaten often, but he has the speed, the draw and the light weight on a track where the leaders do best. His last-start second showed he is still competitive.

| Scr | 4 | Whiskey And Wine | 13 | Cameron Byrne | 59.5kg |
A mare on the improve with a hot stable and jockey behind her. The concern is the map: a moderately run 1350m at Ipswich suits runners on or near the pace, and she is expected to settle back.
Quickzou has the best gate speed in a moderately run race at a track that rewards leaders. Recent runs in Bm65 company were at a winning standard, and he steps into slightly easier grade. Top weight and a thin win record are concerns, but he still rates the most likely winner.
Ed I Am is a genuine 1350m performer with three wins at the trip and a favourable weight. His recent form shows he can run to a winning standard, and he should settle just behind the speed. Poor Ipswich numbers for jockey and trainer stop him being a stronger selection.
Cantankerous is the overlay. He beat this grade here at 1350m in August from a similar draw and was second in the same Bm62 class last start, only 12 days ago. Gate 3 gives him the chance to slot in handy, which suits Ipswich.

Best positioned on form and map. She should be on or near the speed from barrier 5 on a track that favours forward runners.
Consistent mare who has been placed in recent starts and loves good ground. She ran second over 1100m from a wide gate at Warwick. Barrier 11 is a concern, but a hot jockey should find her a handy spot in a fast-run race. She is a reliable place chance with a genuine winning hope.
However, she is a big step up from maiden company and is mapped to settle well back on a tight track where backmarkers struggle. Barrier 1 may let her work forward, which would help.
She won last start in a tight finish, has a strong record with her regular jockey, and can settle handy in a race likely to be run at pace.

Odin's Mount is the pick on form. He is a fresh, improving four-year-old who won last start at Warwick sitting second and kept finding. He is second-up, drawn barrier 4 and should get a handy spot just behind the speed. The leaders will go hard, but he can sit one off and has the class edge.
He has made the first three in every start and has a strong finish, which suits a race with three leaders.
Bent Bridge has been consistently in the finish and drops in class after a strong run against better horses. Ben Thompson is in top form and knows how to win at Ipswich. The wide gate and lack of wins are concerns, but a very fast pace should bring the midfield runners into it. A reliable placegetter with a winning chance.
Eagle's Fire has been brave in defeat, running second in two of his last three starts, and drops in class today. He is the likely leader, and the front end is where Ipswich sprints are won.

The Torque Factor is the best form horse in the race. He has the speed to overcome the wide draw and control a moderate tempo on a leader-friendly track.
Baccarat Rouge is overpriced on form. She is handy from a good gate, carries a light weight with a claim and drops in class. The mile is unproven and her last run was ordinary.
Carnegie Hill is a reliable type who has run well in stronger company, notably when second at Doomben at around this trip. The class drop helps, but top weight and a lean record on Good ground make him hard to trust for the win. He should be in the finish if the race unfolds evenly.
Fifth Force ran on strongly for third last start and now drops in class with a lightweight on his back. His midfield position is workable in a moderate tempo.
