Ipswich Race 1 - Xxxx Ultra Mdn Plate
Tricky race to kick off the card, with many of these babies facing the starter for the first time. Of the raced brigade connections had such a high opinion of INSTA WORTHY (6) that they debuted him in Listed company. Didn't measure up on that occasion but has since been tipped out for time to furnish and has revved up for this with two solid trials. Rates the testing material. BRUTAL GLORY (1) looked handy winning a recent trial, and Rodd stays on board for race day. Keep very safe. EXCELBOOM (2) placed at the latest trial hit-out and gets the reliable Gollan/Maloney combination. Respect any market confidence. EGYPTIAN GODDESS (13) has plenty of race experience over most of these and may earn some minor money.

At the latest run second last of 7 at Doomben 2yo Hcp on April 23 over 1110m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Guac On carrying 55kg at $13. The start before that didn't do much in the run home; ran last of 10 at Eagle Farm 2yo Hcp on April 5 over 1300m, on a slow track; 16 len behind Thee Creek carrying 55kg at $41. Well placed and can improve enough to take this out.
