Ipswich Race 9 - Gordon's Gin (Bm65)
LAVONI (13) is a very consistent commodity who has remarkably never missed the top-five in 14 career outings. Boasts a handy first-up record with a win and a second from three attempts and is expected to run a big race while fresh. ARALETTA (6) strips fitter third-up from the break and should get a cosy run from the inside marble. In the mix in a race decimated by scratchings. RUSTIC TZAR (9) put back-to-back wins together before the spell and may continue the picket fence here with Mallyon staying on top. ZATANNA (4) has respectable first-up form and is one from one around this circuit. Worth serious consideration.

At the latest run 7th of 10 at Beaudesert Bm65 on July 8 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Pungo carrying 59kg at $6.50. The race before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 10 at Gold Coast Hcp on June 21 over 1000m, on heavy track; 5 len behind Chakra Boy carrying 54kg at $51. Looks safely held.

Second-up. First-up after six months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Beaudesert Bm65 on July 8 over 1100m, 1.1 len behind Pungo with 58kg at $7. Previously second-up second last of 15 at Gold Coast Bm65 on December 20 over 1300m, 6 len behind Lady Shotgun with 59kg at $61. Shouldn't be far away again.

Mare back from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation second last of 7 at this track Bm65 March 21 over 1700m, soft track; 5 len behind The Catch with 57.5kg at $10. When resuming last campaign second in a small field at Texas Mdn-Sw December 7 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind Hydros carrying 57.5kg at $8. Might need this hit-out.

Finished off last preparation third in a small field at Sunshine Coast Bm62 January 31 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Riviera Blue carrying 58.5kg at $2.50. Previous preparation first-up favourite; won by 1.75 len Warwick Mdn-Sw September 22 over 1200m defeating Power Of Success with 56.5kg at $2. Should give a great sight.

Most recently second last of 12 at Gatton Cl2 on July 10 over 1400m, 15 len behind Fort William carrying 54kg at $151. The race before that second last of 12 at Ballina Bm58 on June 12 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 21 len behind Make It So carrying 56.5kg at $151. Hard to get too confident on what we have seen lately.
