Queensland metropolitan racing returns to Ipswich Turf Club on Wednesday with an eight-race program commencing at 1:18pm AEST. The track is currently rated a Heavy 8 and with no rain on the forecast before raceday, we may be on a Soft track come Wednesday. The rail will go to the half-a-metre mark for the entire circuit.
Ipswich Best Bet: Royal Nicci
Our best bet on the Ipswich program will be the lightly raced Royal Nicci for trainer Chris Anderson in race six over 1100m. This four-year-old mare has only had the three starts in her career for two wins and a second, all of which have come over the 1000m. This daughter of Nicconi was way too good for her rivals last start, even though the official margin was only one length, where she kicked away in the straight and was eased down at the 50m mark. Stephanie Thornton will retain the ride after riding this girl in her first two starts this preparation, whilst there is no doubt that Thornton and Anderson have a very high opinion of this girl. She will be going up to the 1100m for the first time, but that will be no issue and Royal Nicci will be winning again.
Best Bet
Race 6 – 
#11 Royal Nicci (4)
4yo Mare | T: Chris Anderson | J: Stephanie Thornton (57kg)

Next Best at Ipswich: Lord Markel
The Adam Campton-trained Lord Markel will be our next best bet, stepping out in race two over 1200m. This six-year-old gelding absolutely destroyed a small field over 1100m last start at the Gold Coast on September 24, winning by five lengths. This son of Hallowed Crown is very good first-up (5:3-2-0) and also has a handy record when second-up (5:1-1-1). Yvette Lewis will take the ride again after steering this guy to victory last start, and with her 3kg claim the pair will once again be very hard to beat if they get a cosy run from barrier seven.

Race 2 – 
#1 Lord Markel (7)

Ipswich Value Bet: Goldschlager
Our best value selection is the Chris Munce-trained Goldschlager in race five over 1666m. This five-year-old mare has been up for a long time this preparation, having eight runs without recording a win, but today she strikes one of weakest races she has run in for some time. Samantha Collett will take the ride on this daughter of Deep Field on a track where she obviously saves her best racing for, recording two wins and two places from five starts. Goldschlager ran on from the back last start over 1350m at Doomben on September 21, showing that getting back to this track and trip, where she is one from one, will only be a positive.
Best Value
Race 3 – 
#5 Goldschlager (4)
5yo Mare | T: Chris Munce | J: Samantha Collett (54.5kg)
