IPSWICH: RACE 3

WIMOWEH (12) is unlucky to still be a maiden placing in seven of her past eight starts and strikes a winnable contest here. Drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and should be going very close to shedding the maiden tag.

 

WARWICK FARM: RACE 5

FAIRWAY STAR (4) relished the drop in grade and extra trip when a fast finishing winner over this track and distance in good style on July 30. Gets a similar setup today and looks the one to beat again. 

 

SANDOWN-LAKESIDE: RACE 6 

DAMEHOOD (9) has been saved for this and peaks off a 2L defeat at Caulfield in much tougher. She covered ground and hit the line well. Brown is a key switch replacing the apprentice, and the mare may sit closer today from a better gate. Either way, she's ready to win. 

 

STRATHALBYN: RACE 8

Open race to end the card with several winning chances. ROYAL TRAPEZE (3) is one of those and he looks on the cusp of a breakthrough. He had excuses last start and wasn't beaten fat in a decent form race the start prior. He's drawn to get all the favours for an in-form Matt Chadwick. He looks one of the top seeds. 

 

PINJARRA: RACE 4

CHOUX SHOE (2) flew home to win two back and just missed under similar circumstances last start at Belmont. On the quick turnaround now and up to the mile which looks a big tick. Drawn to sit closer in the run and everything points to a forward showing.
