Ipswich Race 2 - Tab Mdn Plate
KING EMPEROR (5) travelled near the tail of the field and only warmed to the task in the dying stages of a 1400m maiden at the Sunshine Coast last start. Plenty of improvement to come at just his third race start. The one to beat over this more suitable journey. I SAY I SAY (3) has been up for a long while but continues to perform well. Led but tired late to finish a well-beaten third over 1400m at the Sunshine Coast last time out. Placed at both runs here. Should feature in the finish again. ALKEBULAN (8) is a 17-start maiden who has been safely held at his last couple. This looks a shade easier so a better run is on the cards. STEPLIKA LION (6) led for home but dropped right out over 2050m at the Gold Coast recently. Should give a strong account coming back in trip. BRASS BAND (1) has been in the money at his past four, the last couple over the Gatton mile. Going better than most of these so must be considered.

Form hard to fault. Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at Gatton on July 30 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind Tassorati with 58.5kg at $4.60. Before that 2nd of 12 at Gatton on July 10 over 1600m, neck behind Talleyrand carrying 58.5kg at $3.80. Has some solid form under his belt and deserves plenty of thought.

At the latest run 3rd of 9 at Sunshine Coast on July 26 over 1400m, 4 len behind Toobloos carrying 58kg at $12. The race before that faded in the straight 5th of 13 at Sunshine Coast on July 12 over 1400m, slow going 3 len behind Cambridge Bay with 58kg at $5.50. One of the better hopes in a modest maiden.

Lining up for just third start. At long odds at debut, 2nd of 13 at Sunshine Coast on July 12 over 1200m, on a slow track; nose behind Precise Star carrying 60kg at $31. Last start 6th of 13 at Sunshine Coast on August 2 over 1400m, slow going 5 len behind Red Samovar with 58.5kg at $2.60. Big chance to make amends.

At the latest run ran last of 9 at Gold Coast on July 18 over 2050m, on a slow track; 47 len behind Sealord carrying 54.5kg at $101. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at Kilcoy on June 30 over 1900m, slow going 5 len behind Rainbow Glitter carrying 56.5kg at $81. Can't see her breaking through for the maiden win this time.
