Ipswich Race 2 - Barrier Reef Pools Mdn Plate
STABILIZER (7) has been knocking on the door of a maiden victory with consecutive placings in town and should be cherry-ripe for this fourth run back from a spell. Looks the one they all have to run down. CANTANKEROUS (1) has hit the top-four in four of five career outings and this is not an overly strong affair. Looms as the main danger while fresh. POCKET DIAL (11) is at the races for the first time but has looked handy winning two recent trials and Maloney stays on top for race day. Respect any market confidence. ROCHEDALE HERO (6) is also on debut but is sure to be well-educated from the Bruce barn. Bold showing likely. DAWSON DIRECTOR (2) next in line with the Gollan/Lang combination.

Gelding by Written By making his first race start. Half-brother to three-time winner and Group 1 placed Dawson Diva. Dam was a winner of six races. Has looked handy in two trials leading into this. Won a Deagon trial over 1050m on November 20. Worth considering.

Second-up. First-up after four months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 12 at Gold Coast Mdn-Sw on November 15 over 1200m, slow going 3.5 len behind Chicago King with 58.5kg at $11. Previously second-up 5th of 11 at Gold Coast 3yo C&G Mdn on June 21 over 1200m, on a wet track; 6 len behind Without Compare with 58.5kg at $41. Rates highly and can do much better this time.

Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at this track Mdn on November 6 over 1100m, slow going 4.5 len behind Funky Zebra with 56.5kg at $20. Will need to do a bit more.

Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Last start held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at Doomben Mdn on October 29 over 1350m, on a wet track; 1.75 len behind Artspace carrying 54kg at $14. Before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 7 at Doomben Cg&E Mdn-Sw on October 15 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Armes carrying 55kg at $201. Sure to prove hard to beat.
