Ipswich Turf Club will host a competitive eight-race card this Friday afternoon, with the meeting scheduled to kick off at 12:07pm AEST. The track was rated as a Heavy 9 at the time of acceptances, but with little to no rain forecast for Thursday and Friday, it is expected that the surface will improve into the Soft range by raceday. The rail will be in the +4m position for the entire circuit, which should favour on-speed runners.
Best Bet at Ipswich: Addriel
Annabel Neasham will send Addriel to Ipswich instead of Eagle Farm on Wednesday as the stable seeks for a firmer track and an easier race for this gelding first-up. The son of Harry Angel ended his last preparation with a strong win at this track and trip before going out for a six-month spell. The form around this guy is very good, including a second-place finish behind the Magic Millions 3YO Guineas winner, Abounding. From barrier two, Damien Thornton can settle in behind the speed, and with a strong finish, Addriel can return with a win.
Best Bet
Race 4 – 
#7 Addriel (2)

Next Best at Ipswich: Crazy Brave
Crazy Brave is coming off an underwhelming performance first-up at the Sunshine Coast; however, the replay shows that the Annabel Neasham-trained gelding was held up at a crucial stage around the 300m and was blocked for a run. After picking himself up in the final 100m, he surged between runners and hit the line as strong as any of his rivals at the end of 1200m. The son of Zoustar rises in trip to 1350m second-up, Ryan Maloney should be able to settle Crazy Brave midfield before getting to the outside of the field to run home strongly.
Next Best
Race 6 – #11 Crazy Brave (7)
4yo Gelding | T: Annabel Neasham | J: Ryan Maloney (58.5kg)

Best Value at Ipswich: Ashfall
Ashfall made his stable debut for Stuart Kendrick at the Sunshine Coast on June 14, when the three-year-old gelding finished in fifth place, beaten 1.9 lengths behind Imarachgirl. The son of The Autumn Sun settled near the back of the field from barrier 8 and ran on nicely without ever threatening the leaders, suggesting he is looking for further distance to show his best. With a run under his belt and the rise to 1680m second-up, Ashfall will be able to settle closer to the speed from barrier five, and if he finishes off like he did first-up, he can play a prominent role in the finish.
Best Value
Race 8 – 
#5 Ashfall (5)
3yo Gelding | T: Stuart Kendrick | J: Michael Rodd (56.5kg)
