Ipswich racing tips

Race 1. (14:38) Tab Maiden (1680m)

#9 – British Gem

British Gem showed good speed when running second at Doomben two starts back, which is the best form guide for this race.

The three-year-old filly by Wootton Bassett is bred to be better than average and being from the Kris Lees stable helps.

This is her best chance to exit maiden grades.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 2. (15:13) Seven News BM70 (800m)

#2 – Show a Sign

Looking to cap off consistent form with a win is Shows a Sign, who placed at Dalby fresh up before adding a placing at Toowoomba.

The four-year-old son of Capitalist owns four wins and five placings overall, including a win at Ipswich, which is ideal form.

Barrier four is ideal, so he is worth including in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (15:48) Great Northern Handicap (1350m)

#2 – Swiss Exile

Swiss Exile is better than what he has shown in two runs this preparation, so we’re happy to stick with him.

The two-time winner also has 11 placings to his name, and the Archibald stable has been getting the best out of their runners this season.

Having Ryan Maloney in the saddle adds to our confidence.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (16:23) Gordon's Gin Maiden (1350m)

#1 – Rustenberg

Rustenberg ran second on debut at Gosford before coming to Queensland and running second at Sunshine Coast.

His last two efforts have been a touch below his best, but he should suit running at Ipswich more than Sunny Coast, based on his run at Gosford.

60kg isn’t easy to carry, but he has enough upside to include in picks.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (16:58) Barrier Reef Pools BM60 (2160m)

#10 – Aboveforty

Chris Waller lines up Aboveforty, who is better for two runs this prep, and we’re hoping he shows improvement.

The four-year-old son of Too Darn Hot is only a one-time winner from 14 starts, but his best form comes with some moisture in the surface.

Conditions are ideal, so include him for value.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (17:33) Schweppes BM55 (1200m)

#9 – Revitup Charlie

Revitup Charlie hasn’t been far away in two runs this preparation, including a placing at Sunshine Coast two starts ago.

The five-year-old mare by Top Echelon runs her best races over the distance with three placings from four starts, so that’s a positive.

Dry tracks are preferred, but she is capable on soft ground.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (18:10) Living Turf BM65 (1680m)

#15 – Pieronimo

It was an encouraging run from Piernoimo last time out when flashing home for third at Sunshine Coast, which is a good form guide.

The four-year-old son of Pierata won at Scone to end last preparation, so he’s never too far away from producing the goods.

It’s his first start at Ipswich, and it could be a winning one.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 8. (18:40) Ipswich Party Hire BM65 (1350m)

#2 – Smart Recognition

Smart Recognition looked good when scoring back-to-back wins earlier this preparation, and that form could return.

The five-year-old son of Smart Missile owns a win and two placings at Ipswich, so the form stands out, and punters should get each-way odds.

Getting 2kg off his back is enough to take him close.

Stake: 1.5 Units
