GOING: G(4)

RAY WHITE IPSWICH RATINGS BAND 0 - 60 Handicap 1666m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 33)   Rail: +2.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.36)  

Pace strong with Arduous and Rokabye Warrior leading with Trapeze Torque nearby. Open race to close out the card. The well-related MAZITA (1) (half to G3 winner and G1 placed Honorius) has a win and two placings from four attempts over this track and trip and looks to present some value in this contest. Shouldn't be dismissed lightly. BUSKER (5) has been just behind the placegetters in all four runs this campaign and appears to be working up to another win. In the mix on best figures. ARDUOUS (8) needs some luck from the wide draw but is more than capable enough on her day. Capable of playing a major role in the outcome. TRAPEZE TORQUE (7) will be better with that first-up effort now in the locker. Should give this a shake. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mazita each-way.
