AU - Ipswich - Race 1

VANDEVELDE (2) faces a big class drop today after a modest effort in the Group 3 Gunsynd over the mile at Eagle Farm last start. Raced here once and scored last prep. In the right race to bounce back to form. KRUMAC (3) raced handy then drove hard late but just missed last time out over a similar distance to this on the Gold Coast. Has been in work for a long while but continues to measure up. One of the key contenders again. QUEEN JEDDAH (6) enjoyed the step up in trip recently when beaten under a length over 1 m at Doomben. Should take a lot from that run and can make further progress here. COOL DRINKS (5) returned from a spell with a dominant maiden win over the mile at the Sunshine Coast last start. Lightly raced three-year-old who can go to the next level now. SWING STATE (1) rarely runs a bad race so must come into consideration despite a hefty 61.5 kg.
