The Group 3 Grand Prix Stakes will headline the 10-race meeting at Eagle Farm this Saturday afternoon, where racing will kick off at 12:13pm AEST. The track was rated as a Heavy 8 at the time of acceptances; however, with no rain forecast for the remainder of the week, it is expected that the track will improve into the Soft range. The rail will be in the +2m position for the entire circuit.
Grand Prix Stakes tip: Beau Dazzler
Beau Dazzler was one of the best closers at Doomben over 1630m when most of the Grand Prix Stakes field met last start, flashing home from the back of the field to finish fourth. The Tony & Maddysen Sears-trained colt carried 60kg on that day, and now he will drop back to set weight conditions to carry 57kg here. Jag Guthmann-Chester has retained the ride, and from barrier one, Beau Dazzler can settle closer to the speed before finishing off strongly.

Best Bet at Eagle Farm: Aerial Dancer
Ron Stewart and Aerial Dancer are starting to build a strong affiliation with one another, following three wins from four starts this preparation. The Matthew Hoysted-trained mare won dominantly at this track and trip two starts back before leading every step of the way over 1600m at the Sunshine Coast last start. With only one other speed influence in the race, Stewart will push forward and lead on Aerial Dancer before giving a strong kick on the home turn.

Next Best at Eagle Farm: Busting
Busting was heavily backed with horse racing bookmakers last start before being held up for most of the Doomben straight and having to settle for second place. The Tony Gollan-trained gelding settled in the box seat behind the leader, but his main market rival, Payline, held him in a pocket until the 150m. Once the son of Spirit Of Boom got into clear air, he flashed home and lunged at the winner but missed. After drawing barrier nine, Angela Jones can settle Busting outside of runners and go one better with even luck.

Best Value at Eagle Farm: Boom Shot
Although the form guide says Boom Shot finished fifth, beaten 2.2 lengths at Doomben over 1200m last start, his run was much better, and he should have finished closer to the winner. The Tony Gollan-prepared galloper ran home nicely along the rail before being blocked for a run at the 150m mark. Now that he rises in trip to 1400m third-up and will receive a better run from barrier six, Boom Shot will prove hard to hold out late.
Best Value
Race 9 – #6 Boom Shot (6)
5yo Gelding | T: Tony Gollan | J: Kyle Wilson-Taylor (58.5kg)
