Ipswich Race 4 - Living Turf (Bm65)
BETTER SWEET (8) scored a big victory here when resuming before just running into one better last time out. Gets in well at the weights with the 1.5kg claim and should be right there when the whips are cracking. HOWDOYOUZOU (4) was well-supported on debut and didn't let backers down with a solid Toowoomba win. Successful rider Tilley stays in the irons and should be going very close again. METALCRAFT (1) was a touch disappointing at the latest effort but the form prior was full of merit. Worth another chance. DON'TCHA LUV'ER (9) got the maiden win out of the way when facing the starter for the first time and will have taken some confidence from that first-up victory. Don't underestimate. CUDDLES FOR KIMMY (5) best of the rest from the inside alley.

At the latest run didn't do much in the run home; ran last of 9 at Eagle Farm Bm70 on January 31 over 1000m, 7 len behind Larado carrying 55.5kg at $21. The start before that won by 1.5 len at this track 0 - 62 January 15 over 1100m defeating Andi Don't Care with 57.5kg at $2.70. Goes well here and is sure to prove hard to beat.

She is resuming after a five month break. Finished off last campaign second last of 7 at Doomben 3yo SW September 13 over 1110m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Foreign Press with 55kg at $61. On debut won by 1.3 len Gold Coast 2yo Hcp July 19 over 1015m slow track defeating Elronte carrying 55.5kg at $31. Will improve on whatever she does in this.
