Ipswich racing tips

—

Race 1. (11:56) Tab Maiden (1680m)

#3 – Convo

BET NOW

Convo could take advantage of a weak maiden field, and after running second at Doomben, she has the best form.

The Ciaron Maher-trained mare ran at $12 last start, but she will likely be the short-priced favourite on Wednesday.

She should be right in the mix in the opener.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (12:33) Great Northern Maiden (1680m)

#4 – Hideyoshi

BET NOW

Hideyoshi battled on well enough at Toowoomba last start, and rising from 1300m to 1680m should be right up his alley.

The three-year-old son of Brave Smash has more upside than most in this field and getting 2kg off his back adds to his chances.

We’re happy to include him at what should be each-way odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:08) Gordon's Gin Handicap (1100m)

#2 – Ritualize

BET NOW

Looking to remain unbeaten is Ritualize, who won well on debut in heavy conditions at Doomben.

The Stuart Kendrick-trained gelding paid $8 when scoring last month and having five weeks between runs should help his recover from the testing run.

Getting the inside draw only helps his chances of winning.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (13:43) Barrier Reef Pools Maiden (1200m)

#2 – King Boom

BET NOW

King Boom did well to run second fresh up at Ipswich as a $10 chance, and those odds will be shorter this time around.

The Tony Gollan-trained gelding has returned from a spell as a much stronger type, and his breeding suggests he’ll be tough to hold out.

Getting 1.5kg off his back only helps his chances.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (14:18) Schweppes BM68 (1500m)

#6 – Speed Map

BET NOW

Speed Map has plenty of experience to call on with 41 starts for five wins and 14 placings.

The six-year-old son of Holler has yet to fire in two starts at Ipswich, but his best racing comes on good racing surfaces.

Having Jake Bayliss in the saddle is ideal, so include him in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (14:53) Ray White Ipswich C4 (1680m)

#7 – Cape Crusader

BET NOW

Cape Crusader has been right around the mark this campaign, including a win at Toowoomba and a placing at Gold Coast.

The four-year-old meets a tricky midweek field, but he’s good enough to handle it, and he loves the distance.

Dropping to 53.5kg should make him tough to beat.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (15:28) XXXX Bat Out of Hell (1100m)

#2 – Wanda Rox @ $3.70

BET NOW

This race was meant to be run last Saturday, and we liked Wanda Rox then, and we like her now.

Her odds are much shorter this time around, but punters still get value odds for the five-year-old, who owns 10 wins from 19 starts.

She’s speedy and good enough to put this field away over the short distance.

Stake: 3 Units

Race 8. (16:03) Seven Handicap (1200m)

#11 – Cartwheels

BET NOW

Cartwheels showed good speed fresh up when winning at Sunshine Coast, which is a handy form guide for this race.

The four-year-old mare by Trapeze Artist owns three wins and four placings overall, and her best form should take her close.

She has yet to finish worse than second at Ipswich, which bodes well.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 9. (16:38) Bishopp BM68 (1200m)

#1 – Girl

BET NOW

Girl has been testing our patience this prep, but we’re prepared to give her another chance at the odds.

The five-time winner owns four wins over the distance, and she should find this race much easier than running behind Floozie, who won again on Saturday.

Barrier 15 hurts but include her at the price.

Stake: 1 Unit
