Ipswich   11 May 2024
 
GOING: S(5)

DEVELOP WITH 2DU CIVIL ENGINEERING Maiden Handicap 1350m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 2m Entire. (Pent: 5.5).  

Genuine pace with Johnny Utah finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. JOHNNY UTAH (10) hasn't won in 13 career starts but has been thereabouts in all three runs this preparation including last-start 4th this track in 1200m CG&E Mdn. Looks a genuine chance. IT'SALLSAIDANDONE (17) is only lightly raced and could surprise here fresh in first start for new stable from a good draw. WINTER'S PROMISE (15) has finished off well in her two starts this campaign for the Matthew Dunn stable, finishing 3rd and 5th respectively in maidens at Grafton and Ipswich. Can figure. SUGGESTED PLAY: Johhny Utah can win this. His day!
