thedogs - Ipswich 16 April 2024 Race 12

MR. HERMES (8) comes here with strong NSW form and he looks very well graded in this event. Untried from boxes seven or eight but he will be charging late and he just needs an ounce of luck early. TERRY'S TAXI (1) owns a handy 25.43 PB here and he is drawn to keep the pressure on throughout, while ESMERELDA CLOUD (6) is improving all the time.

Comment:A tad risky at box rise but the red alley is a big plus and he is drawn to be on the pace for most of the journey, main danger.
