Our Ipswich Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Hail Manhattan (Ipswich Race 3 No. 1)
This four-year-old Manhattan Rain gelding has had four wins and five places from 16 starts. He finished 0.5 length 2nd over 1600m at Doomben on 23 January after being hampered and forced wide, then ran on best for a narrow win over 1615m at Doomben on 4 February. He’s been going really well recently and should be hard to beat.

Each Way
Man In Motion (Ipswich Race 5 No. 3):
This seven-year-old Sequalo gelding led most of the way and was swamped in the final 50m for 1.05 length 4th over 1110m at Doomben on 8 August, then led early but winded for 6.5 lengths 9th over 1050m at Toowoomba on 26 September. Resuming from a 20 week spell he has won three of five first-up attempts and has speed to burn over the 800m. Looks a great each-way bet.

Best Lay
Bellicose (Ipswich Race 6 No. 3):
This four-year-old Written Tycoon gelding is the early favourite in this 0-58 handicap over 1700m. He went too hard and finished 2.8 lengths 6th over 1800m at Sunshine Coast on 22 January, then fought on for 0.1, 2.3 lengths 3rd over 1690m at Ipswich on 3 February. This is no easier than his last start and I am prepared to risk him here.

Key Comments 2nd day of the Scone Carnival. Plenty of features including the Woodlands Stakes (race 3), Denise Joy Stakes (race 6), Ortensia Stakes (race 7), the Dark Jewel Classic (race 8) and Luskin Star Stakes (race 9). Best Bet Jedibeel (Scone Race 10 No. 8) Lovely return effort when being backed off the map and showed off a fine turn of foot. Can go right on with things here and should get a nice tow into it from barrier 7. Hard to

Key Comments There are 9 races on the Parks circuit. The track is rated good and the rail is +3 metres from the 1000m -to the winning post and true for the remainder. Best Bet Easy Campese (Morphettville Race 3 No. 4) Easy Campese has been runner-up at his last 3 races and is ready to win. With the 2kg claim for Alana Livesay he will only carry 52.5 kg down from 59kg last start and hopefully that will make all the difference.

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The feature races include the Straight Six (race 7) and the Andrew Ramsden (race 8). The best bet looks well placed to bounce back and very hard to beat if finding its old form. Best Bet Niance (Flemington Race 3 No. 7) Had excuses last start when bungling the jump. Looks really hard to beat if finding its old form and there was so much to like about the wins prior. Looks way over the

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The best bet comes up in the second race and is a very progressive type that can continue on its winning spree. Best Bet Affluential (Werribee Race 2 No. 4) Has been on a winning spree and showing no signs of slowing down. Should land in a beautiful spot from the draw and no reason to suggest it can't win again on the way to better races. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:
