The Harrovian (Eagle Farm Race 7 No. 4)
This seven-year-old Fastnet Rock gelding trained by Toby Edmonds has 16 wins from 29 starts and has won his last 10 races. He won by a narrow margin over 1640m on a soft track at Doomben on 31 October, then took over at the 100m to win the Listed Tatts Recognition Stakes by 1.25 lengths over 1350m at Doomben on 28 November. He has the inside barrier, goes well on soft ground and can win this.

Good Chat (Eagle Farm Race 5 No. 6):
This three-year-old All Too Hard gelding has three wins and a place from six starts, and two wins were at this distance. He was held up then bumped at the 200m but was able to take over and draw away for a length win over 1200m at Ipswich on 25 November, then was tightened, hampered and bumped before finishing 4.6 lengths 5th over 1400m at Eagle Farm on 12 December. He is capable of placing here and looks a good each-way bet.

Viridine (Eagle Farm Race 8 No. 1):
This six-year-old gelding trained by James Cummings is the early favourite in the Falvelon Quality Handicap over 1200m, and is one of three runners for the stable including last year’s winner Isaurian. At the end of last campaign he was a narrow winner in the Listed Regal Roller Stakes over 1200m at Caulfield on 15 August, then resumed after 15 weeks for 0.2, 0.8 lengths 3rd in the Listed Starlight Stakes over 1100m at Rosehill on 28 November. The race has several chances, he is drawn wide and he offers no value at the current price.

Key Comments The track is a synthetic tapeta-based surface and weather has minimal effect on how it races. The rail remains in the true position. As a general rule, runners who land in the front half of the field are suited at this track, with a slight advantage to those who land forward of midfield and can find a cart into the race from the wider lanes in the straight.

Key Comments The best bet is in the first and was explosive on debut. Expecting all to have their chance on this track that usually plays fair. Best Bet What A Cross (Sale Race 1 No. 10) Big finale on debut and looms at likeable odds here. Was smacked in betting then and almost pulled off the plunge when flying to the line. Looks a huge chance here. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
