Our Horse Racing Tips for the 17th of August
Red Wave (Ipswich Race 4 No. 4)
Taking a chance on Red Wave who tends to mix form but may be looking for a good track. It ran 3rd behind the highly talented Gypsy Goddess earlier this year and does enjoy racing at this track. In a field where not many of these win out of turn the $4.40 is good.

Plutocrat (Ipswich Race 8 No.3)
Plutocrat presents good value here with the kind draw. It is unbeaten from 2 goes at the track and sees a decent drop in grade. The form around Go Wandji reads nicely and the $8.00 appeals in a winnable race.
$8.00

Island Magic (Ipswich Race 3 No. 4)
Island Magic has been racing okay but being a back-marker and drawing wide at Ipswich is more often than not problematic. A few of the chances in this race have drawn better and map well, happy to take Island Magic on at the $3.60 mark.

Key Comments The track is in the soft range. The best bet comes off a soft last start win and can take the leap from maiden grade. Best Bet Alliri (Kembla Grange Race 4 No. 5) Won nicely last start and despite the drift can take the next step here. Drawn wide but takes weight off with the claim and looks a progressive enough type to take this out. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
