Ipswich Race 3 - Gordon's Gin Hcp
GUAC ON (1) was a touch disappointing on debut when heavily supported but then bounced back with a strong Doomben victory last time out. Winning hoop Graham sticks in the irons and where there's smoke there's fire. Can go back-to-back. CAT CALL (4) broke the maiden status on the Gold Coast at the latest effort and is sure to have derived a stack of confidence from that win. Looms as the main danger. RITUALIZE (2) got the maiden out of the way on debut and is drawn to get a gun run in transit from the inside alley. Top-three candidate. GREEN SPRING (6) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and will be well-educated from the Archibald barn. Keep very safe. SPOILT ROTTEN (5) has just run into one better in both career outings and doesn't need to improve much to take this out.

Raced two times to date. When well in the market at debut, ran last of 8 at Doomben 2yo Mdn on April 4 over 1110m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Ritualize with 57kg at $1.85. Last start favourite; won by 0.6 len at Doomben 2yo Hcp April 23 over 1110m in soft going defeating Meet George with 57kg at $2.20. Draws awkwardly but should run another big race.

Freshened since claiming his maiden victory on debut; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head at Doomben 2yo Mdn April 4 over 1110m in heavy going defeating Whispering Rogue carrying 57kg at $8.50. Should improve and can feature in the finish again.

At the latest run favourite; won by 2.75 len at Gold Coast Poly 2yo Mdn-Sw April 26 over 1100m defeating Parading Gus with 58kg at $1.65. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 15 at Rockhampton Cap Yrlng 2yo on April 12 over 1200m, slow going 1.5 len behind Kerzner with 57kg at $7.50. Will prove hard to beat.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, 2nd of 10 at this track 2yo Hcp on April 21 over 800m, on a slow track; 2.75 len behind Before Anyone Else carrying 57.5kg at $5. Last start 2nd of 8 at this track 2yo Mdn-Sw on April 30 over 1100m, slow going 0.9 len behind Fabulantes with 56.5kg at $5. Coming along nicely and is one of the main chances.

Two-year-old gelding (Lucky Vega - Soosa Rama). Half-brother to five-time winner and Listed performed Power Bank. Dam was a winner of four races and Group 3 performed. Annabel & Rob Archibald has him ready for this with three recent trials prior to his debut today. Runner-up in a Warwick Farm trial over 793m on April 29. Should be primed for a big run despite a tricky draw.
