Ipswich Race 5 - Barrier Reef Pools Plate (C2)
TAJAWAL (2) has been thereabouts in harder company this time in work and will appreciate the drop back in company here. Strips fitter third-up from the break and gun hoop Maloney stays on top. Will be right there when the whips are cracking. TEWKESBURY (3) has placed two of three over this staying journey and looks to be working up to another victory. Don't discount lightly. FOREVER FORTUNE (1) has won two of his past three and is racing with a lot of confidence of late. Top-three credentials. MAD ANA (9) is one from one around this circuit, draws the inside marble and gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claim. Plenty to like about her prospects. MAKING EYES (12) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on.
