Ipswich hosts midweek racing on Wednesday with an eight-race program that features several well-performed runners set up by favourable conditions and distance changes.

With multiple horses peaking third-up or fourth-up and others dropping into winnable grade, the card presents clear betting opportunities through the middle and late races.

Ipswich Tips December 17


Great Northern Open Handicap Tips (Race 3)


Ipswich Next Best Bet - Race 3 No. 1 Atmosphere

Jack Bruce’s representative is already a winner this season after scoring second-up at the Sunshine Coast at the end of September.

That victory came in a 1400m open handicap on good ground, where he finished more than three-and-a-half lengths clear of his nearest rival.

The gelding has performed well without winning in two subsequent starts, including when finishing third in a Class 5 Plate over this track and trip last month.

He had been freshened prior to that run after being beaten two lengths into fourth in a six-runner 1400m event at the Gold Coast.

While all four of his runs this preparation have been on good ground, he has won twice on soft going previously, and with Daniel Moor again aboard he looks capable of adding a sixth career win.

Gordon’s Gin Maiden Handicap Tips (Race 4)


Ipswich Roughie - Race 4 No. 5 Amazara

The daughter of I Am Invincible showed promise prior to debut, winning two of her four trials.

She made her first race appearance at the Gold Coast early last month, racing from mid-division before finishing just under four-and-a-half lengths from the winner over 1200m on a wet track.

The mare met trouble near the 500m mark on that occasion and was one-paced in the straight under jockey Sean Cormack.

She has since won an 800m trial on a wet surface at Dalby earlier this month, and improvement is expected here.

Trained by Cameron Richardson, Amazara races in blinkers for the first time, draws an inside gate, and may be capable of surprising some better-fancied runners.

Living Turf Benchmark 65 Handicap Tips (Race 7)


Ipswich Best Bet - Race 7 No. 15 Pieronimo

The four-year-old produced several solid efforts in maiden company for this stable earlier in the year, including a runner-up finish at Newcastle in early May.

The son of Pierata broke through for his maiden win three starts later when scoring narrowly at Scone.

That victory came over 2200m on a Soft 5 surface, his first attempt at the distance.

He was subsequently spelled and returned with two barrier trials ahead of his seasonal resumption at the Sunshine Coast late last month.

Dropping back to 1400m for a Benchmark 70, he stayed on soundly from mid-division, and the step up in trip with conditions to suit makes him a strong winning chance.

Ipswich Party Hire Benchmark 65 Handicap Tips (Race 8)


Ipswich Value Bet - Race 8 No. 5 North Court

The lightly raced gelding has shown strong form at Toowoomba, winning three of his six career starts.

Two of those victories came last preparation, including a narrow win in a 1300m Benchmark 58 on a wet track in May.

He was spelled after a below-par fifth in a 1200m Benchmark 65 and filled the same position when resuming in October.

That return run suggested the 1100m in a Class 3 handicap was too sharp for him.

Stepping back to 1300m, he scored narrowly in a Class 2 last month, and from an inside barrier with Justin Huxtable aboard he looks value on his first start away from Toowoomba.
