Ipswich best bets & quaddie tips | November 9, 2022
| What | Ipswich Races |
| Where | Ipswich Turf Club – 219 Brisbane Rd, Bundamba QLD 4304 |
| When | Wednesday, November 9, 2022 |
| First Race | 1:18pm AEST |
The Ipswich Turf Club will host a very competitive eight-race program on Wednesday. The track is currently rated a Soft 5, but there is good weather on the forecast over Tuesday and Wednesday, so hopefully there will be an upgrade at some stage. The rail will be in the 6m position, and we expect the track will play favourable to leaders and on-pace runners for most of the day. Racing will kick off at 1:18pm AEST.
Ipswich Best Bet: Luskin Hero
In the second race of the day, the Lawrie Mayfield-Smith–trained Luskin Hero looks to be one of the better bets for the day. This five-year-old gelding will return from a six-month spell on Wednesday, with only one public trial under his belt. This son of Kaphero finished off last preparation with a second behind the very talented Boomnova in a Class 6 Handicap over 1000m. This guy has a good fresh record, recording two wins and a second placing from five first-up starts, with the majority of those first-up runs coming off just one trial throughout his career. From barrier four, Adin Thompson should have this guy either outside the leader or just behind the leading pair, which should prove to be the best place to be in the concluding stages at Ipswich on Wednesday. Thompson’s 1.5kg claim brings this gelding right into this and he should be in this race for a long way.

#1 Luskin Hero (4)

Next Best at Ipswich: Litermont
In the second leg of the quaddie, the Tony Gollan-trained Litermont will be looking to break through for her first win of the preparation and third win of her career at start number nine. At her most recent start over 1200m at Ipswich on October 19, this lightly race four-year-old mare was held up before the turn, before having to cut back down to the inside running rail in the home straight. The winner of that race and her stable mate, Da Party Gal, was next to this girl and when she went to the inside the winner went to the outside of the field which ultimately advantaged the winner and disadvantaged this mare. If Angela Jones can get this daughter of Cable Bay to settle just behind the leaders, we could see her peel off their backs late and be very strong over the concluding stages.

#9 Litermont (1)

Ipswich Value Bet: King Kryptos
In race three over 1100m we will be siding with the Bryan Dais-trained King Kryptos, who will be making his racing debut on Wednesday. This three-year-old gelding has been given one public trial, where he jumped smartly and was pushed forward to lead. This son of Smart Missile showed in the trial that he was very speedy and that he could sustain the gallop and sprint, as the rider pushed this guy to lengthen and extend in the concluding stages of the trial. If he jumps like he did in his trial, this gelding will most likely find the front and be very hard to catch in the home straight.
Best Value
Race 3 – 
#9 King Kryptos (9)
3yo Gelding | T: Bryan Dais | J: Andrew Mallyon (56kg)
