Ipswich Race 4 - Barrier Reef Pools Mdn Hcp
This is dead set tricky, with debutants engaged from leading stables. The betting should provide a decent guide. SHAQUE D'AMOUR (15) sets the standard. He's placed his last three here and goes in the wet. Stepping up to the longer sprint won't bother, and he has the early speed to clear the awkward barrier. RUINS OF ROME (4) resumes with a 3L defeat at Eagle Farm and was slow away. He also draws awkwardly but has plenty up his sleeve and can feature with average luck. RAGING (9) is a former Victorian who quickly found form, beaten 1.5L at the Sunshine Coast. Fitter and Rodd is a key jockey engagement. WHAT DID YOU SAY (6) debuts for a top metro stable and has been well trialled. Went close in his latest at Deagon, and JGC stays aboard. Draws an inside gate. Ditto MAYBE (10), who debuts, and she also went around in that trial. In the premier barn, and is sure to be well prepared. Something for the Multiples: LOPE BY NIGHT (8)

Three-year-old colt (Spirit Of Boom - River Boss) will no doubt benefit from the three trials leading in today's debut. Fourth over 1050m in a Deagon trial on March 18. Watch for any market moves.
