We said17th of 17, beaten 25¼ at 125/1
IPANEMA QUEEN 100/1
3 of these want to be on the pace, which usually means they go too quick and it falls to something coming from behind.
IPANEMA QUEEN at 100/1, Robson De Aguiar and David Egan, is the one I would side with. He races off a mark 3lb below the 95 it won from back in October 2025, has already won round this track twice and won last time out.
The dangers are ARGENTINE TANGO at 100/1 (went close off this mark) and BIG GOSSEY at 66/1 (a course winner).
