Captain Eagle should spear straight to the front of the small field. Chris Waller brings BARBRAY (2) north after three decent runs at Sydney midweekers this prep. Battled on well to be beaten just 1.8 lengths last start over 1550m at the Kensington track. Very fit and that southern form stacks up favourably. TARTAN TIGER (12) has been about the money at both runs this time in work, most recently when beaten under a length over 1350m at Ipswich. Looking for the mile now so keep her in mind. BOLD BLAZE (4) has been struggling over longer trips. Last appeared over 1600m when successful at Rockhampton four runs back. Each-way claims. CAPTAIN EAGLE (3) is fitter for recent racing and looks close to a win after finishing second over 1600m at Grafton last time. Nice gate and in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Barbray looks too good for these.
