Ipswich Race 5 - Inglis Mdn Hcp
ASTERN EFFORT (8) is unlucky to still be a maiden finishing runner-up at his past three outings and strikes a very winnable contest here. Knocking on the door and can go one better against this line-up. RIGHTEOUS LEGEND (1) is yet to miss the top-five in nine career starts and doesn't know how to run a bad race. Top-three candidate. CHEVALLUM (4) went down by the narrowest of margins on debut and will have taken some benefit from that day at the races. Has to be included. CERETTI (13) strips fitter third-up from the break and will get a cosy run from the inside marble. In the mix. LAUNCHER (7) has placed over this distance range and may run a race while fresh at odds.

Four-year-old mare (Kermadec - Oriental Lady). Full-sister to five-time winner and Listed placed Kirkeby. Has trialled on three occasions leading into today's race. Fifth at Sunshine Coast Inner Track in a 1000m trial on February 3. Unlikely to find enough improvement to trouble these.
