Three Listed races will headline the 10-race meeting at Eagle Farm this Saturday afternoon, where the opening event is scheduled to jump at 12:13pm AEST. The track was rated as a Heavy 8 at the time of acceptances; however, with little to no rain forecast for Friday and Saturday, the surface should improve into the Soft range. The rail will be in its true position for the entire circuit.
Just Now Quality tip: Cigar Flick
Cigar Flick has been racing well in Group 3 grade at Flemington and Caulfield, recording a fourth and fifth-place finish in two starts this campaign. The Chris Waller-trained mare was last seen running home from the back of the field in the How Now Stakes (1200m), where she finished off strongly down the middle of the track. A rise in trip to 1300m and a drop in grade will suit this daughter of Churchill, and with even luck, Cigar Flick can record her first win of the preparation.

Tails Stakes tip: Inver Park
Kris Lees and Andrew Mallyon will combine with Inver Park for the second straight start as they seek back-to-back victories following a strong 1400m win at the Sunshine Coast. The son of Pivotal settled in the box seat and received a saloon passage up the inside of the field before kicking away to defeat Redford by 1.3 lengths. After drawing barrier two, Mallyon can attempt to replicate his ride from last start, and if he can get clear by the 300m mark, Inver Park will prove hard to beat once again.

Bribie Handicap tip: Zarastro
Zarastro was a dominant winner of a 1000m barrier trial at Doomben, where the Tony Gollan-trained gelding led the field around and kicked away to score by 3.75 lengths. With Angela Jones in the saddle for the trial and sticking for this first-up start, expect her to push forward and settle outside the likely leader, Golden Boom. If the son of I Am Invincible can absorb the pressure and give a good kick turning for home, Zarastro will take some catching in the concluding stages.

Best Bet at Eagle Farm: Give Me Space
Give Me Space had been impressive to kick off this preparation, recording back-to-back victories before not handling the Heavy conditions at Doomben last Saturday. Barry Lockwood will back up this three-year-old gelding, and he appears to have found the perfect race for him to return to winning ways. From barrier seven, James Orman will attempt to settle midfield on the outside of runners, and if Give Me Space shows his blistering turn of foot, he will win this.
