Ipswich Race 2 - Great Northern Mdn Hcp
GAS BRIGADE (2) went down by the narrowest of margins in town last time out and should find this assignment a touch easier. Looks ready for the step-up in trip now and is sure to be going very close to shedding the maiden tag. PAPAL WARS (1) placed around this circuit at the latest effort and gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim. In the mix. ORMOND ROAD (9) has hit the top-five at his past eight starts and is a must for the multiples. CLASSIC SHIRAZ (11) performed well last start when second at Gold Coast over 2208m on soft going and peaks for this. Capable of going close. COSMIC INSANITY (12) can contest for a place.
