A solid tempo on the cards with Captain Eagle heading them off.
WORTHY ENUFF (7) had strung three wins together on the bounce to start the campaign before not measuring up in Saturday grade last time out. Drops back slightly in trip here and a return to the winners' stall would not surprise. GREAT ASPIRATIONS (2) loves it here on the Ipswich circuit with two wins and two seconds from just five spins. Gets a stack of weight off with the 3kg claim and should be ready to peak now third run back. Can find winning form. SMART AS SMART (1) has two wins and a second from six starts over this track and trip and only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to be playing a major role in the outcome. CAPTAIN EAGLE (8) is a consistent commodity who doesn't know how to put in a poor one. A must for the multiples. HE'SGOTTHESAY (9) next in line from the favourable draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Worthy Enuff to bounce back.
