Ipswich Race 4 - Bundaberg Drop Bear Hcp (C5)
CONCESSION (5) was a dominant Gold Coast winner two back before just running into one better around this circuit last time out. Goes well for hoop Dempsey who has two wins and two placings from six steers and can continue the rich vein of form here. SHOT OF WHISKEY (4) will strip fitter second-up from the spell and is more than capable enough on his day. Should be right there at the business end. LOST HIS BEANS (3) is a two-time winner over this distance range who maps ideally for this from gate two. In the mix. EXPRESS PAYMENT (1) rounds out the selections in a race with a stack of chances.

Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at this track Cl5 on April 16 over 1100m, 0.8 len behind Joy A Plenty carrying 58.5kg at $4.40. The start before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; scored a big 4 len win at Gold Coast Bm75 April 4 over 1000m defeating Flaming Conquest with 56.5kg at $5. Went close last time. Expected to be very competitive.
