PARO (4) fought on for third last start over 6f43yards at Ipswich, making it three minor placings in a row. Faces an easier assignment so he is all set to build on that latest effort. NORTHERN EAGLE (3) is a six-start maiden who finished fourth at his most recent outing over 6f at Ipswich. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. JUST WALTER (2) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Ipswich, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. GAS BRIGADE (1) finished 5.5 lengths adrift in tenth when fresh from a layoff last start over 6f43yards at Ipswich. Placed at his only other second up appearance. Should be poised just off the lead. Can feature in the finish.
