Eagle Farm tips and results

Our price $6.00 · SP $6.00 · Jett Newman

A likeable on-pacer who won over this trip at Eagle Farm and finished a close third at this grade last start. Barrier one lets him race prominently, which suits a track where handy runners hold the edge, and the claim helps.

Our price $17.00 · SP $20.00 · Taylor Marshall

She drops in weight and brings fitness, and her recent clock reads well against this field. The concern is the map: she gets back on a track that has favoured prominent runners, and her Eagle Farm record is thin.

Our price $2.60 · SP $1.70 · Martin Harley

Clear form pick. Drawn ideally in barrier two and races on the pace, which suits an Eagle Farm staying test where front-half runners dominate.

Our price $9.00 · SP $8.00 · Ryan Maloney

Drops in class from stronger company and has twice placed at Eagle Farm over this trip. The knock is the map - he settles well back, and backmarkers rarely win at Eagle Farm over this trip. He has also never saluted on a good track, all three wins coming on soft ground.

Our price $11.00 · SP $21.00 · Ryan Houston

A model of consistency, filling the placings at her last three starts and well suited at this trip. Carries a light weight and handles good ground. Rises in class today and tends to settle off the pace at a track that favours forward runners, and her stable's recent strike rate is a query.

Our price $6.00 · SP $3.80 · Bella Youngberry

Blazen Boots gets the best run of the main chances, sitting just off a lone leader in what looks a slowly run race. He also drops in class for an in-form stable and jockey combination.

Our price $8.50 · SP $12.00 · Daniel Moor

Make A Call's last-start fifth at the Gold Coast was a run that would win plenty of races at this level, and he comes back in class over a distance that suits. Barrier 10 and a likely slow tempo are real hurdles, and he isn't a natural winner.

Our price $5.50 · SP $3.10 · Andrew Mallyon

An improving four-year-old who flew home for second at Doomben last start and won second-up earlier in his career. He is drawn to get a soft run from barrier two and the anticipated fast tempo should bring his turn of foot into play. He rises in grade, so he will need to improve again, but he is trending the right way.

Our price $5.50 · SP $9.00 · Ben E Thompson

From barrier one he can settle much closer than usual and a fast tempo suits him as a strong finisher. Top stable and a jockey who knows the course.

Our price $4.00 · SP $3.10 · Anna Roper

Komodo Dragon brings the strongest credentials, having won last start in stronger Sydney company and now dropping to a Class 3. His 1400m record is excellent and he has won leading, which matters in a race likely run at a steady tempo. The query is settling position at Eagle Farm, where backmarkers struggle, but his class and winning habit should carry him a long way.

Our price $5.50 · SP $10.00 · Angela Jones

Midnight Spirit shapes as the best-positioned runner in a race that sets up for handy horses. He settles on-pace, has an excellent record at Eagle Farm and drops in grade for a stable in red-hot form.

Our price $13.00 · SP $61.00 · Montana Philpot

He's won his last two, including a smart 1400m effort, and the inside gate lets him dictate. The class rise and 60kg are the risks, but the map is firmly in his favour.

Our price $6.50 · SP $11.00 · Jett Newman

Boys Night Out is built for the way this race shapes — he races on the speed and loves the mile, and he ran a big race last start when beaten a whisker. The catch is gate 9, which means he must work early to find a forward spot.

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.50 · Anna Roper

Nails Murphy is the value play. He is genuine and lightly exposed at this level, went within a whisker of winning an Open over the mile last start and gets a lovely inside draw. The stable has brought only him to the meeting, which often signals intent.

Our price $4.50 · SP $6.50 · Justin P Stanley

Moonan Quartz is the form runner of the field and the one to beat. He has won four of nine, is a natural leader, and from barrier two should control a moderate tempo on a course where forward runners dominate. His only query is a lack of wins on good ground, yet he led and went close in similar company last time. Hard to beat if he gets his own way in front.

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.00 · Bella Youngberry

Hell To Pay is a reliable type who has won at this track and distance and comes off a solid midfield effort in a stronger race. The Gollan stable and a strong jockey combination add confidence, and he maps to settle in a handy position on a course that favours that style.

Our price $7.00 · SP $7.00 · Jake Bayliss

Town Crier is the one to beat. He won an open handicap at this track and trip last start and his Eagle Farm 1000m record is the best in the field. He settles handy, exactly where you want to be here, and the hot early speed up front should set it up for him.

Our price $7.50 · SP $31.00 · Jace McMurray

The steadier of 58kg and a tricky gate temper enthusiasm at Eagle Farm, where the inside and the front are favoured. Still, his class at the trip makes him a must for the placings.

Our price $6.50 · SP $4.20 · Emily Pozman

Steady Ready was outclassed in a Group 3 last start and now drops to a level he's proven at. He's a natural leader with a superb record at Eagle Farm over the sprint trip, and if he gets his own way in front he'll take catching.

Our price $6.00 · SP $7.00 · Ben E Thompson

A progressive four-year-old from the Gollan yard who won impressively at Eagle Farm last start. She races on the speed, is drawn to get a soft run from gate four, and has Ben Thompson aboard, a rider who goes well here. This is a marked rise in class and a first attempt at 1200m, so she needs to improve again, but she is on an upward curve.
