Ipswich Race 4 - Great Northern Plate (C1)
OUR BRAVE LINI (7) stepped up to 2150m for the first time last start and did a good job to finish third after giving away a big start on the corner at this track. Like the eight-day back-up and the blinkers coming off. Likely to improve off that last run which should be good enough to take this out. BENZINO (1) had been racing well without winning but broke through last time with a massive 6.2-length win over 2070m in a maiden at Doomben, leading throughout. More depth to this but the manner of that victory is hard to ignore. FIRM AGREEMENT (2) has raced twice this prep and been beaten a long way on each occasion in Sydney. Placed two from three third-up and this is a huge class drop. Definite contender. MONTEVECCHIO (4) appreciated the step up to 2450m at Beaudesert last start where he worked home well to grab second. Just one win in 34 is alarming. Exotics only. CLASSIC SHIRAZ (6) just missed at Casino last time and this longer journey will suit.

Racing well recently. Last start scored a big 6 len win at Doomben Mdn-Sw June 24 over 2070m on a soft track defeating Secret Fenkel carrying 58.5kg at $3.10. The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Sunshine Coast Mdn on June 14 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 2.25 len behind Cool Drinks with 55.5kg at $6. Must be a big chance again on the strength of that form.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up 14th of 18 at Randwick Bm94 on May 23 over 1600m, in the wet; 11 len behind God's Window with 53kg at $61. Second run from a spell ran last of 9 at Rosehill Bm78 on June 13 over 2000m, slow going 9 len behind Nobler with 60kg at $81. Faces a massive class drop so cannot be ruled out.

Third-up today. First-up ran second last of 14 at Gold Coast Mdn on June 20 over 1800m, slow going 14 len behind Argentum Rock with 55.5kg at $151. Second run from a spell won by a nose at Casino Cl1-Sw June 25 over 1900m in heavy going defeating Frictional Force carrying 56.5kg at $71. Prefer others on this occasion.

At the latest run came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 7 at Beaudesert Cl1-Sw on June 26 over 2450m, slow going 0.5 len behind Pending List carrying 60kg at $7.50. The run before that 8th of 10 at Dalby Bm65 on June 18 over 2000m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Samurai Warrior carrying 55kg at $41. Good signs last time and he can play a significant role.
