Ipswich Race 4

The Q 2025

Stake: $5,940

PONTICELLI (7) had won two in a row before finishing fourth (31.20) last time at this track. Strike rate this course strong having won two of three tries. Better than last start and worth following up. WIGGLE ON (3) carved over from wide out and boxed on strongly to finish 0.8 lengths away in second (30.70) behind From A Distance at this track. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Hard to beat again. OXLEY FLYER (2) missed the frame last time but had been racing well prior to that, winning a Mix three back before a placing at Grafton the following run. Has the ability and expected to do much better. BAD AND BERTHA (1) can feature with the right run.

Form has tapered off a little since recording maiden win three back at this track. Placed two back then finished a 13 length eighth (31.09) at Albion Park. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Missed the frame last start when sixth and beaten 10 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at Grafton three back. Well placed here and expected to bounce back.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (30.70) at this track over 520m. Deserves a win and gets her chance.

Finished third at big odds last time (31.07) over 520m at Albion Park. Squeeze draw to overcome. Looks to have the job ahead.
