GOING: S(5)

CHERY IPSWICH Maiden Plate 800m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 30)   Rail: +3m Entire . (Pent: 5.60)  

Solid tempo set by King Of The Vibe and Look It's Lucy who are both capable of leading. LOOK IT'S LUCY (9) is unlucky to still be a maiden placing in five of eight overall and strikes a winnable contest here. Has placed over this track and trip and is drawn to get a gun run in transit from gate two. Rates the testing material while fresh. BOARD MEMBER (7) resumes here but showed enough in her first preparation to warrant consideration in a race like this. Draws the inside marble and gets some weight relief with the claim. Looms as the main danger. Former Victorian JEROBI (3) is first-up for the new stable and any market confidence must be noted. The well-related GILIANA (8) (half to G3 winner and G2 placed Garibaldi) gets the deadly Gollan/Jones combination and cannot be discounted. Former NSW galloper SO YES IT IS (5) looked handy winning a recent trial and should find this easier than what he faced down south. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Look It's Lucy each-way.
