Ipswich greyhound tips & quaddie picks | Thursday, November 2
Ipswich is set to host a 12-race program on Thursday night from 6:10pm local time. The 2023 Group 1 Ipswich Gold Cup headlines the meeting, with the winner to take home $150,000. The scratching of the favourite, All Natural, has thrown a spanner into the works, with Bear's Bullet now the market elect.
Race 4: Live Stream (3)
Live Stream has been racing in terrific form and can make it two wins on the bounce on Thursday night. The son of Fernando Bale was superb last week, scoring by five lengths over track and trip in best-of-night figures of 30.36. Prior to this, he had form around Pebble's Girl and Bear's Bullet, who are both top-grade chasers. With a vacant box either side of him, expect Live Stream to cross Villante in the early stages, find the front and prove hard to run down.
Best Bet
Race 4 –
Form: 21261 | Career: 48: 14-8-7 | Trainer: Justin Bowe
Race 1: Pursuer (9)
With the scratching of Strange World, Pursuer gets a start from box one and will prove hard to beat. The daughter of Sherbini has found herself in plenty of trouble in recent starts, with a failure to finish next to her name and her last start resulting in a 20-length defeat. Despite this, her best form is over this track and trip, with a personal best of 30.41. She can use the low draw to her advantage, push up and hold the front. From there, the only danger appears to be Very Handy.

Race 10: Walk Right In (1)
Walk Right In is capable of running scintillating times when he is right, as shown when scoring in best-of-night times in two of his past five starts – including a 24.75 run over the 431m. Thursday's 520m contest is jam-packed with rivals who have their convictions, which makes Walk Right In's claim appealing. If he can use box one to his advantage, he is going to lead this race comfortably and will take plenty of running down.
