Ipswich Race 4 - Great Northern (Bm62)
STORM MERCHANT (4) was well in the betting when facing the starter for the first time and didn't let supporters down with a dominant Gold Coast victory. Is sure to have derived a stack of confidence from that win and can go back-to-back to start the career. EXCELOQUENT (6) returned in good order with a strong win over this track and trip before just running into one better here last time out. Drawn to get a gun run in transit from the inside alley and looms as the main danger. METALCRAFT (2) got the maiden win out of the way before being tipped out for further time to furnish. Tuned up for this with a recent trial and can run a big race while fresh. TENGUN JESSIE (8) looked good saluting here on debut and winning rider Hellyer sticks in the saddle. Has definite top-three claims. SEVEER (1) next best with the claim.

Second run back. First-up after three months 11th of 13 at Sunshine Coast 3yo Qlty on November 22 over 1000m, 9 len behind Get Ready Lass carrying 56.5kg at $15. Previously second-up 6th of 11 at Eagle Farm 3yo Mdn-Sw on August 13 over 1000m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Miss Funny Honey carrying 55kg at $26. Strips fitter and should be in the mix.

Last start rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 9 at Toowoomba 3yo Bm60 on November 22 over 1050m, nose behind Seams Logical carrying 55kg at $11. Before that 4th of 8 at this track Bm58 on November 6 over 800m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Before Anyone Else with 57.5kg at $8. Maybe a place.
