Eagle Farm tips and results

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.40 · Ron Stewart

Indamouse has the sharpest closing burst in the field and was only beaten a length at Doomben last start, with a strong fourth at Eagle Farm before that. The concern is his get-back style on a track that punishes backmarkers, plus top weight and a rider in a drought. Capable of a big finish but needs the race to fall his way.

Chance De Lune sneaks in as a value play off a couple of runs at around this trip that were better than his bare form reads. He is the right sort of map horse at a track that rewards handy runners, drawing gate 4 to settle midfield.

Our price $16.00 · SP $26.00 · Fiona Sandkuhl

The mare is improving, ran a close second at the Sunshine Coast last start after being held up, and had placed twice at Ipswich before that. She settles back and finishes hard, which suits a race likely to be run at a genuine gallop with three leaders engaged.

Our price $11.00 · SP $26.00 · Karl Zechner

The value runner. He led and won impressively over 1200m at Murwillumbah two starts back and was only collared late at the Gold Coast last time, both runs good enough to win this. He is the likely leader in a race with only moderate speed, so he could control it. The risks are a wide draw, a modest record on good ground and a low overall strike rate.

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.00 · Ben E Thompson

She settled on the speed and fought on for second over this trip on debut, running to a standard good enough to win most maidens, and she strips fitter here. Ben Thompson, a strong performer at Eagle Farm, stays aboard and she maps to sit just off a hot speed from a handy gate. Beaten only a short margin last time, she is hard to knock.

Our price $6.50 · SP $14.00 · Siena Grima

A six-start maiden but one who keeps running to a decent standard, with a second and a third over this journey. She settles midfield, which suits a race with several noted leaders, and her experience is an asset in a field of lightly raced maidens.

Our price $9.50 · SP $26.00 · Anthony Allen

He also showed at the Sunshine Coast that he can be ridden quietly and still run on from well back.

Our price $9.00 · SP $6.50 · Siena Grima

Imperial Force is the wild card on class. The concerns are real: he has not won for a long time, 1000m is short of his best, and he will need to contest the lead with Esha.

Our price $3.30 · SP $3.50 · Jett Newman

The map hands him an uncontested lead at a track where leaders dominate sprints. The class rise is real but he meets Midnight Spirit 4kg better and has been improving with every run.

Our price $14.00 · SP $21.00 · Karl Zechner

His Grafton wins were achieved sitting on speed and running time that would be competitive at this level, and his last-start failure came over an unsuitable 1400m with a rider who lost the whip. Barrier 2 and 55kg let him slot in behind Russian Ripper, which is the ideal Eagle Farm position.

Our price $5.00 · SP $8.00 · Jade Hampson

Forty Times has been the model of consistency, finishing fourth three times running against fields as strong as BM70 and an Eagle Farm restricted race, each time running close to a winning standard. He steps to 2412m for the first time, but as a Savabeel gelding with a good inside draw and a light weight he can be ridden closer than usual.

Our price $8.00 · SP $17.00 · Stacey Callow

Bills Angel is the improver in the race. She gets down to 53kg here and likes to race handy, which is exactly the pattern Eagle Farm has favoured.

Our price $9.00 · SP $7.00 · Dan McGillivray

Lord Protector brings honest form at this level. He won a Sunshine Coast BM62 in August and then ran a strong fourth in a BM65 at Ipswich beaten under two lengths. The worries are his slow-starting, get-back style at a track where back-markers struggle, and the fact that no rider was declared in the data. Place chance.

Our price $14.00 · SP $21.00 · Ashley Butler

Her Kilcoy and Toowoomba form has been sound, and she was blocked for a run twice in the straight last start yet still finished third beaten a length and a half. She gets a handy draw in barrier 5 and should sit midfield in a moderately run race, exactly where Eagle Farm winners come from. The missing jockey booking is the main caveat.

Our price $10.00 · SP $10.00 · Olivia Kendal

She has placed in 9 of 11 starts over 1000m, has repeatedly run to Class 1 winning standard without getting the result, and is drawn to sit just off Vincley from gate 3 with only 54.5kg.

Our price $11.00 · SP $5.50 · Jade Hampson

Life After Love is the overlay in the race. Her maiden win at Avoca was a genuinely strong performance for the grade and she races on the speed every time, which the speed map has under-read by tagging her a backmarker. From gate 6 with 54.5kg and a jockey in career-best form, she can settle in the first four behind Vincley.
