Our Ipswich Horse Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Fortified (Ipswich Race 6 No. 1)
This three-year-old Ocean Park gelding trained by Chris Waller has two wins and two places from five starts. He ran on well but the winner was too good when 1.3 lengths 2nd over 1400m at Sunshine Coast on 25 April, then was 5th on the home turn and did best to win by a narrow margin over 1845m at Eagle Farm on 5 May. Bred to stay he looks the likely winner in this QTIS 3YO handicap.

Each Way
Karlstad (Ipswich Race 4 No. 6):
This three-year-old Sacred Falls gelding has had one win from four starts. When resuming after 20 weeks he ran on out wide without threatening for 2.7 lengths 5th over 1200m at Gold Coast on 17 April, then led from the home turn and drew clear for a 2 length win over 1350m at Ipswich ion 3 May. The extra distance shouldn’t worry him and he looks a solid each-way chance.

Best Lay
Prospectus (Ipswich Race 3 No. 3):
This four-year-old Excelebration gelding is the early favourite in this BM 78 handicap over 1710m. He kept chasing for 4.4 lengths 9th over 1800m at Randwick on 26 December where he finished lame in the off fore-leg. On resuming after 18 weeks he didn’t run on when 5.75 lengths 11th over 1400m at Eagle Farm on 1 May. He has placed at all 3 second-up starts but has never won and I’m prepared to risk him here.
