Godolphin Head trainer Darren Beadman provides an overview of their runners at Ipswich on Saturday.

City Of Ipswich Eye Liner Stakes: Listed (Qlty - 1350m)

FEDERAL - 5yo Gelding by Medaglia d'Oro (USA) out of Virago (AUS) & HANDFAST - 4yo Gelding by Street Cry (IRE) out of Lobola (AUS)

“They’re like peas in a pod lately. They’ve gone around in the same races at their past two runs and haven’t been too far from each other.

“Unfortunately they haven’t drawn too well so it’ll be a case of hoping they get cover and good rides.”

Sky Racing Gai Waterhouse Classic: Listed (F&M Qlty - 1350m)

KINSHACHI - 4yo Filly by Commands (AUS) out of Nagoya (AUS)

“Her run behind Bonny O’Reilly the other day was quite OK. She was beaten less than three lengths and is probably down in grade a bit here.

“It looks like being another heavy track up there on Saturday, she handles that and she’s up to this class.”

MATERNAL - 4yo Filly by Street Cry (IRE) out of Divine Madonna (AUS)

“She’s also quite happy on a soft track as she showed when she won at Doomben two weeks ago.

“The wide draw isn’t a help but the fence might not be that good either. She’s got good gate speed and Jeff Lloyd.”
