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.

Each Way
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.

Best Lay
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.

Key Comments The track is rated Soft 5 and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Phence Sitter (Albany Race 4 No. 7) Resumed after 24 weeks to place at this track and trip. Should take improvement from that run and be very competitive. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way Sir Bear A Lot (Albany Race 5 No. 3) Sir Bear A Lot has been in the trifecta at all 8
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 17th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is out 9 metres the entire way. The best bet comes up in the last race of the day and is progressive enough to go right on with things. Best Bet Hypeman (Cranbourne Race 8 No. 6) Won nicely breaking maiden and looks progressive enough to go on with things here. Can bounce to the front from barrier 1 and looks a suitable race for Ethan Brown to take out. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker

Key Comments The feature race is the Scone Cup (race 8). The rail is in the true position. The best bet looks a sure thing. Best Bet La Pleine Lune (Scone Race 5 No. 3) Absolutely romped in on debut. Concede it was in the right part of the track when the rail as hot however the race rated well, it had plenty more to give and the runner up has walked in since. Looks the good thing of all good things.
