Mitch Ebeyer • May 28th, 2026 7:30 pm

A belter of a night of racing and we switch our attention to Q1 Lakeside for four heats of the Ipswich Cup over 457m and three heats of the Dashing Corsair over 642m. A 10 race card awaits with the first beginning at 6:40pm and the get out stakes at a relatively early 9:43pm. Although only four heats for the cup there is talent galore with some big names to do battle. All the action can be caught on SEN TRACK 1593am from 6 to 10pm, analysis, tips, banter and more!
BEST BETS
R3 N3 RUPEE’S ROCKET
Fast type who draws ideal in box three looking to get the cart into the race by the two who has early zip and mad railer. Minimal speed in 4 & 6 is great with limited pressure to the outside. Expect to lob 2nd early and reel in the 2. Big show and out to 642m is well suited.
R8 N7 GREVILLEA
Blistering early and form at Grafton has been faultless. Draw no concern with pace like this, map is great with a mad railer drawn inside in six, expect Gold Force (5) to cop one or two early. Owns a scary fast PB here in 24.86 and seems to be back to her best. Very keen!!
VALUE BETS
R5 N3 ZIPPING URBAN
Massive overs in a race that is chock full of talent. Dramatical and Winsome Jet take up a large percentage of the market and this fella is overlooked. 5 wins from 8 starts here at Q1 and box stats are top shelf too. Big each way play!
R7 N8 WINSOME RAMBO
One of the best boxed runners on the card and looks to get a drag into the race early from the speedy 7, Canya Excite Me. Enormous last outing over the short trip and this race suits. Feel the red is vulnerable with the draw, big danger the 7 but this fella is big overs. Expect to shorten!!
