Visit Dabble |
Queensland horse racing will return to Eagle Farm this Wednesday for the second time in five days as the Brisbane Racing Club hosts a very competitive nine-race program. Although the track was rated as a Good 4 at the time of acceptances, there is a lot of rain forecast to fall in the area on Tuesday and Wednesday, and it is expected that the meeting will begin on a Soft or Heavy surface. The rail will be pushed out to the +9m position for the entire circuit, with the first race scheduled to jump at 11:58am AEST.
Best Bet at Eagle Farm: Battlefield
Following an impressive runner-up finish behind Navyonthehighway first-up, Barry Lockwood and Robbie Dolan will combine with Battlefield once again second-up. The son of Deep Field drew a wide gate (10) and had to settle at the rear of the field before attempting to loop the field in the final 600m, but he ran out of ground over 1200m. That winner has gone onto run well in metropolitan grade last Saturday to frank the form, and if Battlefield can settle closer over 1300m, he can go one better here.
Best Bet
Race 7 – #4 Battlefield (5)

Next Best at Eagle Farm: Set To Shine
Set To Shine has finished second in both starts this preparation and her most recent placing was the best of the two, after the Tony Gollan-trained mare was made to settle three-wide for the trip over 1200m at Doomben. Even though the daughter of I Am Invincible travelled wide and covered more ground than her rivals, she finished her race off strongly and was only beaten by a head on the line. Unfortunately, Set To Shine has drawn a wide barrier here, but if Angela Jones can push forward and settle off the fence, she will prove hard to hold out late.

Best Value at Eagle Farm: Chermside
It was easy to like the debut of Chermside at the Sunshine Coast when the Paula Barron-trained filly ran home nicely to finish second after doing a lot wrong in the final 400m. The three-year-old filly drew the ace barrier on that occasion, and it appeared as though she didn’t like racing inside of runners before wobbling around when under pressure. With the benefit of one run under her belt and now that she draws barrier 13 of 13, Chermside should be able to settle worse than midfield before running home strongly down the outside.
Best Value
Race 1 – #6 Chermside (13)
3yo Filly | T: Paula Barron | J: Robbie Dolan (56kg)
