Ipswich Race 8

Gordon's Gin (Bm68)

Stake: $41,800

SECOND SUN (9) goes well for Thornton who has a win and two placings from just four rides and should be ready to peak now third-up from the break. Drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and should be right there when the whips are cracking. LUDOVISI (2) has been thereabouts in all four runs this time in work and gets the deadly Gollan/Orman combination. Worth serious consideration. WORTH AVENUE (10) doesn't win out of turn but has hit the top five at her past eight outings and doesn't know how to run a bad race. A must for the multiples. The well-related WEST CORK (8) (half to G1 winner Qafila) has placed two from three over this track and trip and may earn some minor money. SCHMOOZER (1) rounds out the selections.

Most recently 8th of 10 at Doomben Nmw on November 9 over 1350m, 5.5 len behind Torabella carrying 54kg at $26. The race before that 6th of 9 at Eagle Farm Bm68 on October 19 over 1400m, 5 len behind Flying Aurelius with 57kg at $11. Draws out again but should fare a lot better in this suitable contest.

Second-up. First-up after four months 6th of 11 at Sunshine Coast Bm65 on November 10 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Zhuang Shi with 59.5kg at $21. Previously second-up 2nd of 11 at this track Bm62 on June 7 over 1710m, slow going 0.7 len behind Sly Corner carrying 59kg at $8.50. Still early in the prep and needs another run or two.

Most recently ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 11 at Kempsey Kempseycup Bm84 on November 8 over 1450m, 4 len behind Xtra Approval carrying 54kg at $4. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Grafton Bm66 on October 29 over 1410m, slow going 1.0 len behind My Mum's Toyboy carrying 58kg at $19. Hard to have this tough line-up.

Half-brother to Group 1 winner Qafila. At the latest run held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at Doomben Cl2 on November 13 over 1650m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Tuff Tu Mus carrying 57kg at $19. The start before that won by 2.5 len at this track Cg&E Bm58 November 1 over 1350m defeating Recanati with 60kg at $3. Will prove a tough nut to crack.
