Eagle Farm racing tips

—

Race 1. (13:18) XXXX BM78 (1000m)

#4 – Saratoga Power @ $8.00

BET NOW

Running at each-way odds is Saratoga Power, who is already a four-time winner this preparation, and a seven-time winner overall.

The five-year-old son of Written Tycoon has yet to race at Eagle Farm, but his form at the NSW provincials is good enough for this race.

Getting 1.5kg off his back adds to his appeal.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (13:53) Nova 106.9 C3 (1800m)

#2 – Eclair Encore @ $2.45

BET NOW

Money has come for Eclair Encore, who won well fresh up before adding second placings at Canterbury and Rosehill.

That form stacks up nicely for racing in Queensland, and the four-year-old mare by Maurice is good enough to take this field.

Weight comes off her back, and her odds could shorten on race day.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 3. (14:28) Season Greetings from BRC C3 (1200m)

#4 – Southern Charm @ $16.00

BET NOW

Looking to improve on a recent placing is Southern Charm, who did well to run third at Ipswich last time out.

The four-year-old mare by Shalaa has yet to fire in three attempts at Eagle Farm, but her confidence should be rising now.

Her odds have drifted since opening at $13, so punters get better value.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (15:03) Become a BRC Member BM85 (1600m)

#7 – Nails Murphy @ $3.70

BET NOW

Money has come for Nails Murphy, who owns three placings this preparation, including his last two at Doomben.

The six-year-old son of Sioux Nation is much better than a three-time winner, and it’s only a matter of time before he wins.

Dropping to 54kg makes him tough to beat.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (15:38) Cricks Highway BM78 (1400m)

#5 – Hella Fast @ $8.00

BET NOW

Punters get each-way value with Hella Fast, who is much better than what he has shown at his last two starts.

The four-year-old son of Hellbent is a two-time winner overall, with both wins coming at Eagle Farm, so the form checks out.

He’s going under the radar, so include him as a value bet.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (16:17) Seven Grand Prix Stakes (1800m)

#2 – John Dory @ $2.90

BET NOW

We liked the way John Dory scored at Canterbury two starts back before going down fighting at Doomben last time out.

The three-year-old son of Ace High was only a short margin behind the winner last start, and he didn’t lose any admirers.

Having Ryan Maloney in the saddle is a bonus, so he’s the top pick.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 7. (16:57) Ladbrokes Gold Edition Plate (1200m)

#1 – Grafterburners @ $2.20

BET NOW

Gunning for three consecutive wins is Grafterburners, who scored at Eagle Farm and Doomben.

The three-year-old colt has been an excellent bet throughout his career, and he is good enough to handle this field on Saturday.

Getting the inside draw should be enough to take him close.

Stake: 3 Units

Race 8. (17:32) Moreton Hire Lough Neagh Stakes (1300m)

#1 – Rothfire @ $4.20

BET NOW

Class is with Rothfire, who scored a brilliant win at Randwick two back before struggling behind Jimmysstar last start.

The 11-time winner has more than $4.7 million in the bank, and he’s a six-time winner at Eagle Farm, so the stats read well.

Look for him to settle on the speed and run close at each-way odds.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 9. (18:10) Sky Racing Handicap (1800m)

#4 – Yet He Moves @ $6.00

BET NOW

Punters get each-way value with Yet He Moves, who was too good for them at Doomben last time out.

The Chris Waller-trained six-year-old owns eight wins and 15 placings, including a win and a placing at Eagle Farm.

He’s a tough type who can’t be left out of picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 10. (18:49) Magic Millions BM85 (1200m)

#5 – John Rambo @ $3.40

BET NOW

Looking to cap off solid enough form is John Rambo, who is threatening to win a race this season.

The six-year-old son of Adelaide gets every chance from barrier four, and he has been rock-solid in betting markets since they opened.

Angela Jones rides, which adds to our confidence.

Stake: 1.5 Units
