Ipswich Race 1 - Fertpro Mdn Hcp
MAKE ME GREAT (2) has upside, resuming after one debut run in Open grade at the Sunny Coast and has been readied with a stylish trial win, suggesting he's taken the necessary steps. Bold showing anticipated. MAGIC INVADER (1) looks the main danger on the strength of his broader maiden profile, with nine placings from 15 starts. His last-start sixth at Sunshine Coast was plain, but the prior Gold Coast third when favourite reads well for this, and a trial win between suggests he's up to the mark. DEMES GIRL (11) had genuine interference at Toowoomba last start and her Gatton third two runs ago showed enough to suggest she can be competitive. BUSTERBOY (6) was much better when fourth at Coffs Harbour, is fourth-up now, and the first-time visors give him enough improvement room to press for a minor end of the prize. BELLAH'S HOPE (9) lead them up when resuming at Rocky but tired late. Better for that and looks best of the rest.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing sixth at Sunshine Coast over 1000m, beaten eight and a half lengths when near the top of an open market and safely held. His Gold Coast third on soft ground prior, beaten a length and a half as favourite, is the stronger reference, and he has placed at this track, this trip and on wet ground. Last run was plain, but his Gold Coast third keep him good stead.

Second-up after a debut fifth at Gatton on soft ground, beaten eight and a half lengths at big odds. He was slow away, steadied and still picked up reasonably in the straight, so there was some merit hidden in the margin. Has to find a sharper effort second-up.

Debuts from barrier 1 with only one public trial showing, a Deagon fourth over 650m some time back. The family offers some racing substance through Nothin' But Looks and Stern Looks, and the stable has placed with debut runners from limited attempts. Market will be the best guide.

Backs up quickly after finishing third at Gatton, beaten five lengths on soft ground when an outside chance in betting. He travelled well enough behind the leaders but lacked the dash to trouble Zandari, so the placing reads better than the margin. Each-way claims only if he improves.

Improved at Coffs Harbour last start when fourth in country company, beaten just under two lengths after covering ground and failing to quicken late. That was a clearer step than his Gold Coast Poly sixth, and he now comes to a harder meeting fourth-up with first-time blinkers and visor. Fourth-up profile gives him genuine place appeal.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending his first campaign with a last at Inverell, beaten eight and a half lengths after racing keenly through the middle stages. His debut at Gatton was only fair at big odds, though he was hampered shortly after the start. Improvement required.

Returns from a lengthy spell after closing last campaign with a Lismore third, beaten just over five lengths on soft ground at 101-1. His previous Grafton sixth was also safely held, and he is still winless from ten starts. New to 800m and this venue, so he looks place-at-best.

Comes out of a Bundaberg picnic run where she finished sixth, beaten six and a half lengths after jumping awkwardly, despite some market support. The Tatura run prior was also plain, and she remains unplaced from seven starts. Minor claims only.

Had genuine excuses at Toowoomba last start, finishing fifth on heavy ground after jumping awkwardly, being held up, then checked late. Her Gatton third two runs ago was much better, beaten just under two lengths at big odds after again striking trouble near the turn. Her Gatton third reads well enough, and weight relief keeps her right in play.

Was second last at Gatton last start, beaten over 12 lengths, but she raced wide throughout and copped interference near the 250m. The Kilcoy sixth prior was only fair, and she has lost ground on Demes Girl through their recent meeting. First go at 800m keeps her to place calculations.
