Ipswich Race 5 - Barrier Reef Pools (Bm62)
HIDDEN MELODY (1) has hit a purple patch with two wins and a close-up second from her past three outings and gets plenty of weight relief with the 3kg claim. Hard to knock mares in form and should be going very close again. Former Kiwi DETAIN (7) wasn't too far away in her first local run and will have come on with that hit-out now in the locker. Respect from the Lees camp. ZAINDARA (12) was a dominant Grafton winner when facing the starter for the first time and will have taken some confidence from that first-up victory. Keep very safe. KIRRAGIRL (8) returned in fine fashion with a solid win here and will strip fitter for that effort. In the mix. JUNGLE FEVER (2) best of the rest from the favourable draw.

At the latest run favourite; won by 0.8 len at Gold Coast Bm58 July 12 over 1000m on a soft track defeating On The Target carrying 60kg at $2.35. The race before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd in a small field at Gold Coast Cl4 on July 5 over 1000m, on a slow track; nose behind The Fixer with 52kg at $2.70. In a great frame of mind and can play a major role.

Second-up. First-up after two months 2nd of 7 at Goondiwindi Bm60 on July 19 over 1000m, 1.0 len behind Astin Lane carrying 61kg at $4.20. Previously second-up 7th of 9 at Gatton Bm60 on October 1 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Prince Of Sooview with 60.5kg at $5.50. This harder and prefer others on this occasion.

At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at this track Bm65 on July 31 over 1100m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Araletta with 57.5kg at $7.50. Before that won by 2 len at this track Cg&E 0 - 58 July 17 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating In No Doubt with 59kg at $3.80. Warrants consideration.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 11 at Toowoomba Cl3-Sw on July 4 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Drang A Tang carrying 58kg at $11. The race before that eased back early on 8th of 10 at Dalby Bm60 on June 26 over 1400m, 9 len behind Aolani with 61kg at $6. Has ability but looks tested in this line-up.

Second-up. Comes off a 36-day let-up. First-up after five months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at Hawkesbury Cl1 on July 3 over 1000m, on a slow track; 1.4 len behind Regimental Colours carrying 56.5kg at $6. Previously second-up won by 1.5 len at Te Rapa Mdn-Sw January 16 over 1100m defeating High Elation carrying 57kg at $6.70. Fitter and worth following up.
