Ipswich Race 4 - Fertpro Mdn Plate
BON VADER (2) has been knocking on the door of a maiden victory with consecutive runner-up finishes this time in work and this is not an overly strong affair. Gets the reliable Vandyke/Maloney combination and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. SECRET FENKEL (8) has placed three of four overall including one over this track and trip. Should be cherry-ripe now third run back and can find winning ways. OVER THE LOUVRE (7) just missed the frame at Warwick on debut and will have taken some benefit from that day at the races. Top-three candidate. BOMB PERIGNON (10) put in a career-best performance placing over this course and distance last time out and can play a role in the finish. UNDER ARREST (9) rounds out the selections.

First starter by Worthy Cause out of Equiano. Half-brother to seven-time winner and Group 3 performed Invinciano. Dam was a winner of two races. Runner-up in a trial at Deagon over 1200m May 12. Monitor market moves.
