Ipswich Race 2 - Gordon's Gin Mdn Hcp
FRATIANNO (6) was backed off the map here 12 days ago and lacked finishing dash beaten 2.2L. He will be better suited back to a sprint, and a stack of scratchings leave him the one to beat. BARD OF AVON (5) was expected to win at the Gold Coast first-up and has excusses. He presented off a Doomben trial win and has the tongue tie applied today. A much sharper effort is anticipated. INVISIBLE TARGET (20) wasn't far away at Doomben and benefits from a 3kg claim. Hard-fit and can't be ruled out. CUBANS CROWN (11) resumes for a leading metro yard and has the first-time blinkers applied. Maps well and has to be kept safe.
