Ipswich Race 4

Fertpro Hcp (C2)

Stake: $34,160

EXTREME DIAMOND (2) returned in good order with a close-up second at Doomben and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Hails from the astute Maher yard and should be right there when the whips are cracking. ESPRIT DU JOUR (5) is a very honest campaigner who has only missed a drum once in nine attempts over this distance range. Gets 1.5kg off from the low draw and shapes as a leading contender. Former Victorian DIVINE JUSTICE (6) is having her first run for the new stable but should find this easier than what she faced down south. Respect any market confidence. MELDUBIOUS (1) boasts a win over this course and distance and will strip fitter second-up from the break. Not to be underestimated. GAGNANTE ENCHERE (7) best of the rest.

Most recently raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 8 at Doomben F&M Cl3 on June 24 over 1110m, on a slow track; 1.0 len behind Galpin with 55.5kg at $7.50. Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Doomben Bm65 on June 3 over 1110m, 2 len behind Excenia with 57kg at $4.60. An inside barrier is a big advantage. Genuine type who gets her chance.
