Ipswich Race 9 - Gordon's Gin Plate (C1)
Open race to close out the card. ESTEE EMM (15) was very impressive on a heavy deck first-up off a 409-day break at the Sunshine Coast, winning by 1.4L. She rates highly on the back of that effort and has opted to run here rather than race 6 on this card. Should get every chance and looks the one to beat. PUFF 'N' HARRY (4) was sound first-up over this trip at Doomben when 3.1L off the winner. This looks to shape similarly and Dempsey remains in the saddle. Can put his best foot forward once again. ZOUSLAYER (19) is on the quick turnaround after winning over 1200m here earlier in the week. Looks to be trending the right way and won't be far away. IKASARA (3) is next best with Newman on board.
