Verdict

QUOTHQUAN (1) loves it here at the Ipswich circuit winning two from two and should find this easier than the recent Saturday metropolitan effort. Will be at peak fitness now fourth-up from the spell and gets plenty of weight relief with the 7lbs claim. Sure to play a pivotal role in the outcome. BITOFTHEBLARNEY (8) has placed two from three around this circuit and is usually thereabouts. Can run a race while fresh. NEW JOY (4) returned in good order with a strong Toowoomba victory and is another to get some weight off. Top-three contender on best form. TWYFORD (2) saves his best form for his home track here with five victories and cannot be left out of calculations. RASHFORD (7) strips fitter second-up from the spell and may earn some minor money.
