Eagle Farm racing tips

—

Race 1. (13:12) Racecourse Village C3 (1000m)

#7 – Galactic Star @ $4.40

BET NOW

Galactic Star looked good when winning at Ipswich on debut before placing last time out, and he’s good enough to handle this tough field.

The three-year-old son of Star Turn comes off some tidy trial efforts, and this stable knows how to get them up and running.

55kg on his back adds to his appeal.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (13:47) Sunset Soiree Book Now BM70 (2200m)

#1 – Akkadian Emperor @ $2.90

BET NOW

Winning form is with Akkadian Emperor, who was too good for them at Doomben last time out.

The five-year-old son of Churchill relished the rise in distance, and running over 2200m again is right up his alley.

The big weight hurts, but class should take him close.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 3. (14:23) Mick Bawden Jewel Handicap (1000m)

#1 – Areprice @ $2.45

BET NOW

Looking to remain unbeaten is Areprice, who couldn’t have been more impressive when scoring by five lengths on debut.

The two-year-old colt by Better than Ready made a mess of the maiden field, and although there is more depth to this field, he should be tough to beat.

Look for a betting push throughout the week.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (14:57) Sky Racing Jewel Prelude (1000m)

#3 – Elusive Capital @ $11.00

BET NOW

Elusive Capital has yet to win from two attempts, but she didn’t do much wrong in two starts last preparation.

The two-year-old filly by Capitalist finished third in listed company last start, and there was a good betting move for her.

Drawing the inside barrier should make her tough to hold out.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (15:32) Drinkwise BM78 (1800m)

#8 – So Long Farewell @ $5.00

BET NOW

Gunning for three consecutive wins is So Long Farewell, who won at Gosford before posting another win at Eagle Farm last time out.

The four-year-old son of boom sire Super Seth has plenty of upside, and his only poor run came in Sydney against a tough field.

This is his level, and it could result in another win.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 6. (16:08) Girls Day Out Handicap (1600m)

#6 – Nails Murphy @ $2.90

BET NOW

Boasting consistent form is Nails Murphy, who scored back-to-back wins at Sunshine Coast before placing at Eagle Farm last time out.

The Ciaron Maher-trained gelding has yet to finish worse than second in two runs at Eagle Farm, so everything points towards another fine showing.

Getting in with 52.5kg is a big weight relief, which helps.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (16:47) Become a BRC Member BM78 (1200m)

#2 – Flying Destiny @ $11.00

BET NOW

Punters should be encouraged by his fighting performance at Eagle Farm last start, which is why we’re backing him.

The six-year-old son of Flying Artie is a five-time winner overall, and although yet to win at the track, it’s only a matter of time.

Take the odds available with bookmakers.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (17:23) XXXX Jewel Prelude 3YO (1000m)

#3 – Isti Star @ $6.50

BET NOW

Isti Star showed her ability when winning at Gold Coast over Prince Tycoon before placing behind Brave Design.

Her last run came in June, so she has been given time to recover from a tough 2YO campaign. That’s ideal for a Magic Millions winner, who will have plenty of eyes on her.

Her recent trial win is encouraging, so she’s worth backing.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 9. (18:08) Moreton Hire Handicap (1200m)

#10 – Brereton @ $6.00

BET NOW

We have been waiting for Brereton to get back to winning form, and dropping to 52kg could be all he needs to get it done.

The Gollan-trained gelding is only a three-time winner, but he has over $500k in the bank, so he has faced tough fields.

We’re giving him another chance at the odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 10. (18:45) Ladbrokes Mega Multi BM85 (1400m)

#2 – Weigall Tiger @ $11.00

BET NOW

Kelly Schweida lines up Weigall Tiger, who typically improves with a run under his belt.

The five-year-old son of Saxon Warrior owns two wins and a placing when racing second-up, which is a good record.

He loves the track, and he must be included in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit
