Ipswich Race 2 - Gordon's Gin Mdn Plate
FIRST EMPIRE (3) didn't have much luck on the heavy on debut and then just missed on a good surface at Doomben. That's good form and he maps well and will be fitter. The one to beat. GO MARO (4) also improved sharply at his second start beaten a nose at the Gold Coast. He will also improve off that and can be in the finish. Ditto SAVEUR (12) who resumed in the FIRST EMPIRE race beaten 2L. Has the blinkers on for the first time and draws well. She won't have to improve much to feature. SPOT THE AUSSIE (7) did an okay job at Doomben on debut from a wide gate. Has an awkward draw again but can get closer with better luck. In good hands and keep onside.

Second run back. First-up after four months second last of 12 at Doomben 2yo Mdn-Sw on June 11 over 1200m, 14 len behind Kahlua Girl carrying 58kg at $201. Previously second-up ran last in a small field at Doomben 2yo Hcp on February 1 over 1200m, 8 len behind Idyllic Affair carrying 58kg at $61. Prefer in something easier.

Third race start. First start ran last in a small field at Warwick Farm 2yo Mdn-Sw on October 16 over 1000m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Icarian Dream carrying 55kg at $11. Returned from break 4th of 7 at Doomben 2yo Hcp on June 18 over 1350m, 2 len behind Lockyer carrying 54kg at $18. Fitter and looks set to improve sharply.
