Ipswich Race 1 - Barrier Reef Pools Mdn Plate
SILENT THINKER (9) looked handy placing at the Gold Coast on debut and will have derived a stack of benefit from that race day experience. Gets the services of in-form hoop Thompson in the irons and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. MACHTIG HAVANAGILA (6) just missed the frame in town when resuming, gets 3kg weight relief with the claim and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Plenty to like about his prospects. ZOUS A CHANCE (10) was at cricket score odds when facing the starter for the first time but defied expectations with a solid third beaten only two lengths. Jockey Taylor stays on top and looks a genuine top-three candidate with natural improvement. SAVASTEEL (2) has placed three of five overall and maps nicely for this from gate two. In the mix. CAUTIONARY TAIL (3) next best in a race with only a handful of chances.

First starter by Drumbeats out of Showabitofheart. Half-brother to winner Now And Ben. Dam was a winner of four races. Runner-up in a trial at Doomben over 1000m April 7. Inside barrier will assist chances. Trained on the course and any market moves must be noted.

At the latest run 5th of 8 at Eagle Farm Mdn on July 1 over 1300m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Dust Cloud carrying 60kg at $17. The race before that 3rd in a small field at Sunshine Coast 4yo+ Mdn on June 14 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 1.4 len behind Teelg with 58kg at $3.80. Better than the last run and worth another chance.

Second-up. First-up after five months 6th of 13 at Gold Coast Mdn on June 20 over 1300m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Sense Of Duty carrying 57.5kg at $6.50. Previously second-up 6th of 13 at Gold Coast 3yo Mdn-Sw on December 27 over 1400m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Valouri carrying 58kg at $11. Strips fitter now and should be in the mix.

At debut, 3rd of 13 at Gold Coast Mdn on June 20 over 1300m, slow going 3 len behind Sense Of Duty carrying 57.5kg at $9. Sure to come on from that run and appeals as one of the major players.
