NUM TIME COMMENT
1 01:08 IPSWICH PARTY HIRE Maiden Plate 1690m
Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Reveillon, Linas Reel and Wimoweh to control the tempo. Former Victorian LINAS REEL (2) is having his first run for the new stable but should find this easier than what he faced down south when last in work. Tuned up for this with an easy Doomben trial and has placed two from three when fresh. Rates the testing material. REVEILLON (12) hasn't been too far off them in harder NSW contests and is sure to find this assignment more to her liking. Draws the inside marble and must be respected from the Waller barn. WIMOWEH (13) has placed five of eight overall and is one for the exotics players. SKORPIOS ISLE (4) next best in a race decimated by scratchings.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,12,13,4.
2 01:43 VINCE INSURANCE Class 1 Plate 1100m
Tactical given the lack of speed. DEEP VEGAS (9) just ran into one better at Eagle Farm on debut before being tipped out for time to furnish. Has since returned with a strong Doomben victory and will have derived a stack of confidence from that win. Gets the reliable Gollan/Lang combination and can go back-to-back to start the campaign. CASSIERE (8) resumes here but the form she has shown in previous preparations is good enough for a race of this nature. Only needs some luck from the wide draw to be playing a role in the finish. Former NSW galloper RED HOT LIZZIE (10) is having her first run for the new stable but will find this easier than what she faced down south. Respect any push in betting. SWITCHBLADE (4) best of the rest while fresh.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Deep Vegas to win again.
3 02:18 THE SHED COMPANY BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 800m
Expecting a strong tempo over this journey. ENUFF PILLS (4) loves this course and distance with three wins and four placings from just seven attempts. Has hit a purple patch of late and it's hard to knock mares in form. Expected to be right there when the judge calls a halt. RAN NA LADY (6) saves her best form for this sprint journey and will strip fitter third-up from the spell. Top-three aspirations. FEMME FATALE (5) maps well from gate two and should give backers a sight. MAGURO (2) grows a leg for hoop Wheeler who has four wins and a placing from seven steers. Worth serious consideration. GYPSY TRICKS (7) next in line from the inside alley.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Enuff Pills to continue the rich vein of form.
4 02:53 PRECINCT URBAN PLANNING QTIS Three-Year-Old BENCHMARK 68 Handicap 1100m
Expecting a strong tempo with Six More Songs, Paleface Ringo and King Boom going forward ahead of Click Click Boom and Wantsomemoreofit. Looks a nice race for KING BOOM (2). Has a handy record around this circuit with a win and a second from just two spins and will be at peak fitness for this fifth-up from the spell. Gets plenty of weight relief with the 3kg claim and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Ticks a stack of boxes. Stablemate SIX MORE SONGS (3) has won two of three this campaign and is another to get some weight off. Looms as the main danger. PALEFACE RINGO (1) is a consistent commodity who has only missed a drum once in eight career outings and that was a close-up fourth over this track and trip. Has to be included in calculations. ESPRIT DU JOUR (10) is knocking on the door of another victory with two runner-up finishes from her past three outings. In the mix. ALLY (8) rounds out the selections in a competitive affair.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,3,1,10.
5 03:28 TAB Maiden Handicap 1350m
Papal Wars, Ihaveseenthelight and My Mischka to take up the running at a decent tempo. READY FOR THE TRIP (1) is unlucky to still be a maiden finishing runner-up at the past couple and this is not an overly strong affair. Has placed three of four over this distance range and draws perfectly for Thornton in gate two. Should be going very close to breaking the maiden status. VALENCIA ROC (3) is another to run into one better at the past couple and will strip fitter third-up from the spell. Rates a genuine top-three candidate. SATURDAYS GIRL (8) has been thereabouts in all four runs this time in work and looks to be building up to a maiden victory. Respect from the gun barn. MY MISCHKA (14) has placed one from one around this circuit and may earn some minor money. PAPAL WARS (5) next best with the claim.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Ready For The Trip to break through.
6 04:03 THE IPSWICH TRIBUNE Class 3 Plate 1690m
Warrant to take charge ahead of Talakai at a strong tempo. LARUSSO (6) hasn't done much wrong to start the career with two wins and a placing from just three outings and looks the runner in this field with the most upside. Only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to be playing a major role in the finish. HEMAN (5) was a touch disappointing last time out but the form prior was good enough for a race like this. Will be ready to peak now fourth-up from the break and can make his presence felt. EL PENSADOR (4) is one from one over this distance range and looks to be working up to another victory. Top-three credentials on best form. WARRANT (8) has been thereabouts in all three efforts this preparation and must be respected from the Vandyke stable. In the mix. VICTORY COMMAND (7) strips fitter third-up, draws low and gets 2kg off. Plenty to like.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Larusso each-way.
7 04:38 GIBSON ARCHITECTS BENCHMARK 78 Handicap 1100m
Taltarni Fields or The Lucky Alien to lead the small field. TALTARNI FIELDS (1) was a touch plain at the latest effort but the two wins to start the campaign were full of merit. Has two wins and a second from just four spins around this circuit and gets 3kg weight off with the claim. Can bounce right back to the winners' stall without surprising. SIMBU (5) loves this distance range with four wins from six attempts and will be high on confidence following that last-start victory. Hard to beat in this suitable contest. REMLAPS ANGEL (9) certainly wasn't disgraced in Listed company last time out and will find this assignment much easier. In the mix. REJOICED (3) will be rock-hard fit now and may earn some minor money.  SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,5,9,3.
