Ipswich Race 5 - Schweppes (Bm60)
DUCHESS DIFFICULT (4) is hard to look past after leading pillar-to-post to shed her maiden tag at Eagle Farm. Sandkuhl's claim gets her in well at the weights and she can give backers another bold sight. MR WORTHINGTON (1) resumes and clearly shoulders the strongest form references, having contested the G2 Queensland Guineas and the G3 Rough Habit Plate last prep. Returns a gelding now and last week's Toowoomba Inner Track trial win says he is forward enough to make an immediate impact. HELLO DOLLY DIVA (5) been below market expectation at her past two, yet her strong record over this trip make her a genuine threat back to 1350m. EINSTAG (9) wasn't beaten far at Toowoomba after beginning slowly. Lacks as much upside as others but is worth keeping in mind for a minor slot.

Returns from a lengthy spell with a recent Toowoomba Inner Track trial win to bring him forward. He was last seen finishing last in the G3 Rough Habit Plate at Doomben, beaten over 14 lengths, after an eighth in the G2 Queensland Guineas when wide and still not far off the money. Proven at the trip and looks a strong fresh chance.

Second-up after finishing last in a Class 3 at Eagle Farm, where she settled well back and made only mild ground, beaten four and a half lengths at long odds. Her previous run in the G3 Gunsynd Classic was also plain, beaten over 14 lengths. Minor claims only if she lifts sharply.

Put a consistent campaign together by winning a Mdn at Toowoomba on heavy ground last start, beating Spoilt Rotten by a length and a half as favourite after leading and finding strongly. He had been second to Turf Gazette there the run prior despite beginning awkwardly. Rising in grade, but the campaign is building well.

Progressed again when winning a FM Mdn at Eagle Farm last week, beating Spirit Falls by a length and a half after kicking clear on heavy ground. She had earlier run second at Doomben after travelling well and being held up around the home turn. First 1350m try is the query, but she profiles as the one to beat.

Worked home evenly when fifth in a BM65 at this track last start, beaten just over two lengths after being near the top of betting. She was also fifth in a BM70 at Toowoomba as favourite, where an awkward start and early wide run did not help. Back to this trip, she has clear place appeal.

Returns from a five-week let-up after closing off from the rear for fifth in a BM68 at Sunshine Coast, beaten three and a half lengths at an outside price. He had made late ground in a Class 4 at Beaudesert before that, with stewards noting he was steadied. Distance record is the concern, so he profiles as a place hope.

Led throughout on debut in a Toowoomba Mdn over 1210m, holding off Coup De Cash by just under a length as an odds-on favourite. He now has to transfer that to BM60 grade and around 1350m for the first time, which is a fair step for a lightly raced three-year-old. New trip and BM60 grade ask more, but he has upside.

Second-up after an eighth in a BM55 at Gatton, where he began awkwardly, moved into it and then weakened to be beaten five and a half lengths despite market respect. His previous run was a sixth in a BM60 at the same venue, beaten over 19 lengths as favourite. Others appeal more.

Went close at Toowoomba last start, finishing third and beaten just over half a length after being slow away, keen and steadied in the run. His prior sixth in a BM65 was only fair, though he again had some late interference. The 1350m record is a query, but he is in the place mix.
