GOING: G(4)

IPSWICH PARTY HIRE Class 2 Plate 1350m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +10m Entire. (Pent: 5.15)  

In the small field Singular or Lone Force should find the front. CAPTAIN FENKEL (1) placed at Listed level when last in work and will find this task much easier. Revved up for this with a recent Gold Coast trial placing and a strong showing while fresh would not shock. MISTER BIANCO (6) is one from one over this course and distance and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. Strong claims on best figures. SINGULAR (5) has placed three of four over this distance range and must be respected from the Freedman barn. Top-three contender. LONE FORCE (4) got a well-deserved victory at the latest outing and winning hoop Graham sticks. Cannot be discounted. TARADALE (9) strips fitter second-up from the spell and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Captain Fenkel to return a winner.
