Race preview

Tab (BM65) three-year-old handicap at Ipswich over 1100m kicks off at 2:09 pm AEDT on a heavy track under overcast skies. Compel heads the market, with Cause She Can and My Utopia next shortest. The win market is tightly bunched, so form and track fitness will separate them. Two leaders will dictate early tempo — Cause She Can from barrier six and Compel from barrier three — setting up a tactical affair on the heavy going.

Cause She Can won last start at Toowoomba by a narrow margin and rates among the genuine dangers. The K R Kemp–trained mare has early speed and a massive tick from this circuit; her record shows form at first-up, so she should be competitive fresh. Compel is the shortest price despite a map concern at this track — her narrow defeat last start at Doomben was only two lengths, and she's a debut winner stripping fitter after 63 days out. The Munce stable is firing, which counts in her favour, though the form suggests she gave ground late when leading. My Utopia has the fastest finishing splits last start and boasts a jockey-trainer combination outperforming market odds by 345 per cent, a number that jumps off the page. Fresh from a trial win and stepping into metro company second-up, the Thornton runner could be sharper than punters expect.

Zia Maria brings interesting credentials — not beaten far in maiden company at Ipswich first-up last prep, and the Barry Lockwood and Emma-Jane Vincent combination is outperforming market expectations by 57 per cent. She's back after 20 weeks and maps from barrier two in an offpace role, so she'll need the lead runners to set a genuine tempo. Hidden Whisper has risen in class and carries 5kg more, factors worth noting on a heavy track where weight penalties bite harder. The speedGroups show two leaders will dominate early tempo, favouring runners with early pace or strong finishing sectionals on this heavy going.

AAP

Highly competitive lately. In trailing position but couldn't quicken enough at Doomben. Back to provincial level. Can challenge.

ILB

Odds of $19.00 and finished 5th last run at Doomben but challenged by weaker competitors. Looking sharp on the track since coming back from a spell but dropping in distance.

Fair effort when beaten 3l, finishing fifth of nine over 6½f at Doomben (handicap) two weeks ago; this is competitive and unlikely to do better than a supporting role; also engaged in race 5 at Doomben.

RSIS

Started 18/1 and ran 5th last time at Doomben but will appreciate the drop in grade. Looking sharp on the track since resuming from a break but back in trip.

Second campaign (25-weeks). Further matured. Placed at Gold Coast on debut last campaign while warmed up with an impressive trial. Awkwardly drawn and up in weight for return. Can fill the minors here fresh.

ILB

First up and was amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by just short of 6L first up last preparation at Gold Coast. Facing weaker opposition.

Finished tenth of 12 over 5f at Gold Coast (conditions race) six months ago; others more likely given this looks a decent race.

RSIS

Resuming and came on strongly when 3rd resuming last preparation at Gold Coast. Facing a weaker group of contenders.

Brave display holding on at Toowoomba. Leads, handy. Claiming apprentice engaged again. Among the dangers again.

ILB

Was much too speedy in front to win by a margin of a short half head last run at Toowoomba and good career start. Should race on the speed. Will go very close.

Landed a narrow success in a handicap at Toowoomba last month; should figure.

RSIS

Dictated the tempo when winning by a short half head last run at Toowoomba and good career start. Should race on the pace. Producing consistent results recently. Tough competitor.

Toughed it out on the pace at Gold Coast when second-up at $3.50. On pacer, perfect gate. Warrants attention.

Took charge of the race to win by a margin of 1L last start at Gold Coast and can find a nice position from the draw.

Was much too pacey in front when winning by a margin of 1L last run at Gold Coast and drawn nicely.

Back for second campaign (20-weeks). Not beaten far Maiden company at Ipswich first-up last preparation. Meets a stronger bunch.

ILB

First run back from a break. Picked up nicely to win last run at Sunshine Coast and drawn nicely. Jockey Brandon Lerena is currently in strong form for this stable. Prefer others.

Winner of two of her four career starts and seeking a hat-trick today; scored narrowly in a handicap with Sling and Hide The Pierata behind at Sunshine Coast in June; warrants plenty of respect.

RSIS

Fresh from a break. Picked up nicely to win last run at Sunshine Coast and will try to take advantage of the stall. Going up in weight.

Fronting up for second campaign (19-weeks). Ex S W Kendrick in QLD. Lone career win was over 1000m at Sunshine Coast in last campaign. Looks up against it.

ILB

First up from a break. Odds of $61.00 and below expectations when 12th last run at Sunshine Coast. Placed 2nd in a trial at Sunshine Coast@inner Track on Oct 13th. Hard to warm to at present.

Finished towards the rear of 13 over 5f at Sunshine Coast (handicap) in July; makes limited appeal as this is a fairly competitive event.

RSIS

Resumes after a break. Started 60/1 and average at best when 12th last start at Sunshine Coast. Placed 2nd in a trial at Sunshine Coast@inner Track on Oct 13th.

Let-up (63-days). Debut winner at Doomben 26 Aug. Led, gave away final stages at Doomben at second outing. Stripping fitter, will take stopping in this company.

ILB

First up from a break of 9 weeks and assumed control from the start to win by 1 1/2L first up last preparation at Doomben. Should be going forward early. Tough competitor.

Fair effort (beaten 2l) at Doomben in September; unexposed in handicaps with this her second start in this company; one to consider if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success.

RSIS

Resuming and led from start to finish when winning by 1 1/2L resuming last preparation at Doomben. Should muster plenty of early toe. Matched against less formidable competition. Strong chance.

Kicks off second campaign (18-weeks). Raced in metro company last prep. Recent trial win at Gold Coast Poly suggests ready to go. Shapes as a rough place prospect fresh.

ILB

Back from a break. Ran on strongly when 3rd beaten by 1L last run at Doomben and putting a tidy record together so far. Coming back in distance. Nice price for the value seekers.

Went down by less than a length (Doomben) in July upped to 6½f; is not ruled out.

RSIS

Resuming after a break. Zipped home into 3rd beaten by 1L last run at Doomben and solid career start. Back to a shorter distance. Will be around the mark at good odds.

Fresh. Started $51 when safely held in Class 1 company in rain affected going at Sunshine Coast. Keener on others.

ILB

Started $51.00 and struggled with the pace when 5th last run at Sunshine Coast on a heavy rated track and will have to carry more weight. Facing a difficult task.

Came home fifth, beaten 6l, over 5f at Sunshine Coast (handicap) last month; not hard to turn elsewhere.

RSIS

At 50/1 couldn't stay in touch when 5th last time at Sunshine Coast on a heavy surface and will have to carry extra weight.

Back for second campaign (18-weeks). Competing in stronger races last prep. Two quiet trials for return. Testing first-up assignment.

ILB

First up and was eating up the ground late to win first up last preparation at Toowoomba. Has not placed in multiple barrier trials. Will be down in distance. Others are better.

Behind My Utopia over 6½f at Doomben (handicap) when last of eight four months ago; not hard to turn elsewhere.

RSIS

Resuming and charged home to win resuming last preparation at Toowoomba. Unplaced in multiple trials but has a nice advantage with a good draw. Dropping back to a shorter trip.

Odds correct as at Sat 14 Nov, 2:11 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
