Ipswich Race 5 - Gordon's Gin (Bm62)
READY FOR AIMEE (11) didn't measure up in town at the latest outing but the three runs prior to start the career were full of merit. Gets in light with the 1.5kg claim and a bounce back to form would not shock. LEBANESE (7) broke the maiden status over this track and trip last time out and will have taken a bunch of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and should be right there when the whips are cracking. METALCRAFT (4) boasts a win around this circuit and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. In the mix. THE POOL BOY (8) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but the two runs prior were good enough for a race of this nature. Worth another chance. THE TORQUE XPRESS (9) rounds out the selections in a competitive affair.
