Ipswich Race 5 - Ipswich Party Hire Hcp (C2)
ACAPULCO GIRL (5) resumes for the sharp Vandyke stable and Ben Thomson's engagement suggests she's on song. Has two trials under the saddle and she flies fresh. The promising mare is building a tidy record, and she can add to that today. LE CHOCOLAT (2) is also in good hands and can build on his first-up win here in a CL1. Had switched from the Waller yard and jumped a $2.70 favourite. Strips fitter and can keep improving. DAITANNA (7) won here comfortably 36 days ago and is heading in the right direction. Has to push forward from an awkward barrier, but she also has claims. BRAVE HORATIUS (9) faced the starter for the second time and spiked his form winning a Toowoomba Maiden. Maps for a soft run and won't have to improve much to get some of the money.
