Ipswich Race 2 - Barrier Reef Pools Mdn Plate
RAGING RAIDER (10) just ran into one better at Doomben last time out and looks to be building up to a maiden victory. Has placed around this circuit and looks the one they all have to run down. HIT A LICK (8) put in a career-best performance at the latest effort and will be ready to peak third-up from the break. Building nicely into the campaign and getting out to this trip is a big tick. Can make her presence felt. PIROUETTE GIRL (9) placed over this distance range last start and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside marble. Top-three candidate. TED LASSO (6) best of the rest with Melbourne Cup winning rider Dolan in the saddle.

Gelding by Better Than Ready facing the starter for the first time. Half-brother to three-start maiden Moff Fighter. Dam was a winner of ten races. Finished fourth in a Deagon trial over 1200m on August 4. Doubt he will make an impression here so prefer others.

Second run back. First-up after four months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Gatton on July 30 over 1100m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Armand with 54.5kg at $5. Previously second-up 8th of 14 in the QTIS JEWEL (2yo) at Gold Coast on March 14 over 1200m, slow going 4 len behind Swift Dragon carrying 55kg at $201. Will be hard to beat.

At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 9 at Doomben on August 5 over 1350m, nose behind Dragon Magic with 56kg at $1.75. The run before that 6th of 8 at Eagle Farm on July 25 over 1400m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Misato with 56kg at $11. Went close last time. In form and is a leading hope.
