Our Ipswich Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Brandwood (Ipswich Race 4 No. 1)
This three-year-old Epaulette gelding trained by Tony Gollan has raced twice for two wins. On debut he ran on best for a narrow win over 1200m at Doomben on 17 March, then led all the way for a 1.75 length win over 1350m at Doomben on 5 April. On the basis of his two runs to date he will be very hard to beat.

Champagne Toots (Ipswich Race 8 No. 6):
This four-year-old Sacred Falls mare has had three wins and four places from 12 starts. When resuming from a 16 week spell she ran on strongly for a 1.8 length win over 1200m at Sunshine Coast on 28 February, then was checked at the 1100m and ran on without threatening for 4.5 lengths 2nd on a heavy track over 1350m at Doomben on 17 March.

Brave Nick (Ipswich Race 3 No. 2):
This three-year-old Nicconi gelding is the early favourite in this maiden handicap over 1666m. He began fairly and worked his way to 2nd before fading to finish 0.1, 2.75 lengths 3rd over 1400m at Gold Coast on 27 February, then he started favourite and finished 2, 0.3 lengths 3rd over 1400m at Sunshine Coast on 4 April. There are a couple of runners in this race close to breaking their maiden and he doesn’t represent value.

Horse Racing Tips: TAS Sunday 5th May 2024
Key Comments The track is a synthetic tapeta-based surface and weather has minimal effect on how it races. The rail remains in the true position. As a general rule, runners who land in the front half of the field are suited at this track, with a slight advantage to those who land forward of midfield and can find a cart into the race from the wider lanes in the straight.

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Sunday 5th May 2024
Key Comments The best bet is in the first and was explosive on debut. Expecting all to have their chance on this track that usually plays fair. Best Bet What A Cross (Sale Race 1 No. 10) Big finale on debut and looms at likeable odds here. Was smacked in betting then and almost pulled off the plunge when flying to the line. Looks a huge chance here. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
