Our Eagle Farm Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Junction (Eagle Farm Race 7 No. 5)
This six-year-old Real Saga gelding trained by Mark Currie at Toowoomba has eight wins and 10 places from 35 starts. He didn’t seem to like the heavy going when he finished 3.8 lengths 7th in the Listed Australian Turf Club Trophy over 1400m at the Gold Coast on 13 March, then was going well until hampered at the 150m and getting swamped late for 0.7 length 4th over 1400m at Eagle Farm on 3 April. He drops 3kg from that run and should fight out the finish.

Each Way
Bonaparte (Eagle Farm Race 9 No. 6):
This five-year-old Pierro gelding has three wins and eight places from 18 starts and has won two of five starts this campaign. He led into the straight but was run down late for 0.5 length 2nd over 1650m at Doomben on 3 March, then faded late for 2.05 lengths 4th over 1600m at Eagle Farm on 20 March. He comes back to 1400m here and is worth an each-way bet.

Best Lay
Kylease (Eagle Farm Race 8 No. 5):
This five-year-old Choisir mare is the early favourite in the Listed Ascot Quality Handicap over 1000m. She didn’t handle the heavy track when 10.9 lengths 7th over 1100m at Gold Coast on 13 March, then hit the front at the 250m but was run down late for 0.3 length 2nd over 1000m at Eagle Farm on 3 April. This happened at her previous run over 1000m at Eagle Farm and I am prepared to risk her here.

Key Comments The track is rated Soft and the rail is +7 metres the entire circuit and +4 metres in the 1200m chute. Best Bet Southern Shooter (Murray Bridge Race 5 No. 4) Resumed from a 20 week break to run 3rd over 1400m at Balaklava where he was held up several times and ran home well once he saw daylight. The step up to 1600m should suit and he looks a winning chance. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson

Key Comments The 'Bool carnival continues and the features on the card are the $175,000 Galleywood Hurdle over 3200m (race 6) and the $200,000 Wangoom Handicap over 1200m (race 8). Tricky card to sort out but going for the best bet in the feature who is 3/3 on this track and class can come to the fore. Best Bet Tuvalu (Warrnambool Race 8 No. 1) He is 3/3 on this track and form last prep reads well against these including a length loss

Key Comments Expecting the track to suit those up on speed. The rail is true. Saving the best bet until last coming off the back of some solid placings and finds its self in the right race. Best Bet Smart Legend (Canterbury Race 8 No. 4) Excellent effort last start when taking the rails run and missing in a diving finish. This race is if anything, easier and with even luck from the barrier it can breakthrough for a well deserved win after
