Ipswich Race 3 - Great Northern Mdn Plate
ON POINT PIXIE (14) is unlucky to still be a maiden, placing in all three outings to date, and has the most race experience amongst this lot. Drawn to get a gun run for Rodd from gate three, and can improve enough to take this out. The well-related NORTH POLE (15) (half to G3 winner and G2 placed Global Quest) resumes here but showed enough in his first preparation to warrant consideration in a race like this. Can run a race while fresh. HIGHGROVE ROSE (11) also hails from a handy family (half to G2 winner Not An Option) and has shown some ability at the trials. Respect any betting moves. SUMMIT (18) gets the reliable Waller/Maloney combination and shouldn't be underestimated. SOLIDUDE (17) best of the rest.

Facing the starter for the first time. Two-year-old colt by Vancouver out of Madame De Ban. Half-brother to one-start maiden Zigstor. Dam was a winner of four races. At the most recent trial finished sixth at Doomben over 840m. Favouring others until he proves himself.

Jack Bruce trained two-year-old filly lining up for debut and was purchased for AUD $200,000 (Magic Millions 2024 Gold Coast Yearling Sale). Half-sister to Group 2 winner Not An Option. Dam was a winner of six races. Won a recent trial at Gold Coast. Inside barrier will assist chances. Looks a big chance on debut.

Filly by All Too Hard facing the starter for the first time. Half-sister to one-start maiden Cheeky Ranga. Dam was a winner of two races. Trialled on April 8 at Doomben over 840m and finished fourth. Doubt she will make an impression here so prepared to risk.

First starter. Two-year-old gelding by Ocean Park out of Winkelmann purchased for NZD $150,000 (NZB 2024 Karaka - Book 1). Dam was a winner of four races. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 900m at Beaudesert April 7. Keep a close eye on market moves.

On debut fourth in a small field at Sunshine Coast Nugget 2yo C&G Swp January 4 over 1100m, soft track; 2.5 len behind Quietly Arrogant with 56kg at $61. Anticipating him to hit the ground running this campaign.
