Cambridge Race 1 - GAVELHOUSE.COM MOBILE PACE

IRON BRIGADE (4) is back after four-and-a-half months and produced some good form late in the last campaign including back-to-back Alexandra Park wins. Has a strong fresh record with two wins and a placing from three attempts so looking for a good return. MELODY BANNER (2) has the hoof on the till after clocking in second in both starts at Alexandra Park since a spell. They were both from wider barriers than this so should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Has won third-up before so could strike. MHAI SURFER GIRL (7) did a good job to finish runner-up when resuming at Alexandra Park. Draws wider but hasn't missed a place when second-up and strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit. AQUILA (6) steps up in grade but is hard to knock after winning her last four here.
