IPSWICH 16-2-2018

 

Heavy track and small fields make it a tough day at Ipswich!

 

 

 

Race 1

A lot of unknowns will be happy to watch them go around. If having a bet, 8 SAMURAI QUEEN has trialed well, and is a potential play at the price.

 

Bet: Each Way 8 SAMURAI QUEEN

 

Race 2

 

11 KOA NUNI handles the wet, and wasn’t disgraced last start.  She looks like the trip and track suits today and is an EW chance.

 

Bet: Each Way 11 KOA NUI

 

Race 3

 

**Disclaimer I have a share in 1 Mr Markou, and think he’s found a winnable race first up. He has class edge on his rivals here, goes well fresh and looks as if the wet track should be ok. Hardest to beat is 2 PRIDE OF DESTINY.

 

Bet: WIN 1 MR MARKOU

 

Race 4

 

The Waller / Fradd combination here of 2 BALERIC looks the one. She has placed on a Heavy track, and her Sydney form looks superior to her rivals here today.

 

Bet: WIN 2 BALEARIC

 

Race 5

 

I was happy to be on 5 RULING QUEEN in Saturday grade last week, so happy to be on here today. She’s a former NSW galloper who resumes for T GOLLAN here. Her trials have been good and she looks forward enough to figure here today.

 

Bet: WIN 5 RULING QUEEN

 

Race 6

 

A race decimated by scratching’s, and happy to play around the short ones. 12 REJUVENATE will appreciate the small field, he can settle last and has the ability to round them up.

 

Bet: Each Way 12 REJUVENATE

 

Race 7

 

Wide-open race, 1 ARGOS REVENGE has been model of consistency this prep, and although drawn wide, he can slide across near the speed and be hard to beat. Its regularly over looked by the market, and it’s a big price here again.

 

Bet: Each Way 1 ARGOS REVENGE

 

Race 8

 

2 CONSTANTINE has plenty of statistics that appeal here.  2 wins from 2 second up starts, 2 wins from 4 goes on the wet.  Liked its first up run behind the BERGERAC in Saturday grade, and finds a nice race here to win again second up.

 

Bet: WIN 2 CONSTANTINE
