Our Ipswich Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Desert Lord (Ipswich Race 6 No. 3)
This six-year-old High Chaparral gelding trained by David Vandyke has six wins and seven places from 23 starts. After being bumped at the 550m he only battled for 5.8 lengths 9th in The Buffering over 1400m at Eagle Farm on 2 January, then he charged late and nearly got there when 0.1 length 2nd over 1350m at Doomben on 23 January. Resumes here after 21 weeks and has won first-up twice including a win over 1200m at Eagle Farm last campaign. Ran 2nd in a recent trial and looks hard to beat.

Each Way
In Good Health (Ipswich Race 7 No. 3):
This five-year-old Congrats mare trained by Peter Moody has seven wins and eight places from 33 starts. She led all the way and went further in front for an impressive 4 length win in the Listed Centaurea Stakes over 2014m at Morphettville on 15 May, then began well and led to the home turn before being headed at the 200m and winded to finish 4.5 lengths 7th over 1600m at Eagle Farm on 5 June. She is a versatile mare who is worth an each-way bet.

Luna Mia (Ipswich Race 4 No. 8):
This five-year-old Redoubte’s Choice mare is the early favourite in this No Metro Wins handicap over 1350m. At the end of last campaign she finished 10 lengths 13th over 1400m at Newcastle on 14 November, then after a spell she won two trials and resumed for 2.75 lengths 12th in the Listed Coughlan Stakes over 1200m at Eagle Farm on 29 May. She generally goes well second-up but has drawn very wide and I’m prepared to risk her.

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.

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
