Eagle Farm (QLD)
Soft 5
R1 – The Gibson Maiden Plate (1000m)
Analysis
A competitive maiden with a few resuming runners showing promise at the trials. GRAM returns off a break with a strong trial win and looks ready to fire first-up. SWORD OF LEGACY has also trialled well and profiles as a solid each-way chance. ZOUSTROLOGY was good first-up on heavy ground and should improve back to a firmer surface in town. SIKKA debuts for a sharp stable and could surprise.
Selections
- Gram (9) – $3.60
- Sword Of Legacy (5) – $5.00
- Zoustrology (2) – $9.00
- Sikka (6) – $23.00
R2 – Sky Racing Maiden Plate (1400m)
Analysis
The top chances look to dominate here. DELICIOUS DEREK was solid placing here last start and gets his chance to go one better. SATURDAYS GIRL continues to race well this prep and was unlucky not to win last time. KADESKY ran a strong race fresh and should strip fitter. LOS ALAMITOS has been consistent at this level and shouldn’t be overlooked.
Selections
2. Delicious Derek (7) – $5.00
8. Saturdays Girl (3) – $4.80
4. Kadesky (1) – $4.60
5. Los Alamitos (6) – $8.00
R3 – QTIS Class 1 Plate (1600m)
Analysis
Very even race with a couple of leading hopes. HEROIC REBEL was heavily backed and just missed last start, and looks ready to peak. BUSKER hit the line well last time and should be there again. DIVERSITY improves second-up and has winning form at this stage. GREY IMPACT is consistent and can sneak into the finish.
Selections
3. Heroic Rebel (3) – $3.50
- Busker (2) – $7.50
- Diversity (9) – $3.50
- Grey Impact (7) – $11.00
R4 – XXXX Gold QTIS 3YO Maiden (1400m)
Analysis
Not much separates the main chances. PEARLS IN JUNE has been knocking on the door and looks close to a breakthrough. DON’T DOUBT MISSY maps perfectly from the inside and is ultra consistent. LOS ALAMITOS has been competitive at this level and stays in contention. ASTERN EFFORT has early speed and can overcome the wide draw.
Selections
11. Pearls In June (7) – $6.00
9. Don’t Doubt Missy (1) – $3.10
4. Los Alamitos (5) – $23.00
- Astern Effort (13) – $2.90
R5 – QTIS Class 1 Plate (1200m)
Analysis
REWRITE was impressive breaking through here first-up and looks capable of going on with it. BEREZKA has strong track form and continues to race well. DISMANTLE was unlucky last start and is in the mix. HAPPY BELLIE comes back from stronger company and can improve.
Selections
3. Rewrite (2) – $4.40
6. Berezka (9) – $5.50
7. Dismantle (3) – $12.00
8. Happy Bellie (11) – $11.00
R6 – BM68 Handicap (1000m)
Analysis
A tight race between the top two. GALACTIC STAR was a strong first-up winner and gets blinkers added, making him a key player. MOULIN MISS has trialled impressively and looks ready fresh. HEARTS ARE BETTER comes off a dominant win and must be respected. COUNT NICHOLAS is racing consistently and can feature again.
Selections
7. Galactic Star (3) – $3.30
3. Moulin Miss (2) – $2.40
- Hearts Are Better (5) – $8.00
- Count Nicholas (4) – $10.00
R7 – BM65 Handicap (1800m)
Analysis
ADDITION has been close up recently and gets a great chance to break through. PISTON REBEL was good fresh and should improve further. CANTARITO has been around the mark all prep and is worth including. SAVEUR is in form and continues to race well at this level.
Selections
7. Addition (5) – $3.10
8. Piston Rebel (7) – $4.00
9. Cantarito (11) – $21.00
11. Saveur (10) – $5.50
R8 – BM65 Handicap (1400m)
Analysis
Very competitive finish expected. FASVARA is chasing a hat-trick after two strong wins and can go on with it. SUBTERRAIN was excellent first-up here and looks a major threat. SAVAII has a strong winning record when favoured and can bounce back. SOME STYLE was close up last start and looks suited stepping out in trip.
Selections
10. Fasvara (6) – $6.00
6. Subterrain (18) – $5.50
7. Savaii (14) – $16.00
14. Some Style (7) – $14.00
