OPTIMUS MAXIMUS (12) is a 13-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at his latest appearance over 6f at Ipswich after he gave away a big start. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. MEAN APPROACH (3) returned last time with a solid third at Ipswich over 6f after being in the firing line on the corner. Nicely placed to play a major role. BEEN A SECRET (6) showed little early speed last start then lengthened in good style in the straight to finish second at Ipswich over this journey. Expected to feature again. DEE STORMED (8) is progressing well, last time out finishing second over 5¼f at this track after being prominent at the bend. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
