Our Eagle Farm Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Shooting For Gold (Eagle Farm Race 2 No. 2)
This three-year-old Shooting To Win gelding trained by Steven O’Dea and Matthew Hoysted at Eagle Farm has five wins and two places from nine starts. At the end of last campaign he was caught wide early and winded late for 9.1 lengths 12th in the $2m Magic Millions 3YO Guineas over 1400m at Gold Coast on 16 January before being sent to the spelling paddocks. Resuming after 23 weeks he won by 2 lengths over 1000m at Eagle Farm on 26 June. He has won 2 from 2 second-up and should be very hard to beat.

Explosive Quality (Eagle Farm Race 9 No. 14):
This four-year-old Shooting To Win mare trained by Gillian Heinrich has four wins and six places from 12 starts. She was far too good for the rest winning a Class 3 Handicap by 3.75 lengths over 1300m at Gold Coast on 24 April, then hit the front before fading for 2.5, 0.5 lengths 3rd over 1300m at Gold Coast on 29 May. Has had a seven week let-up and with her great strike-rate is worth an each-way bet.

Word for Word (Eagle Farm Race 7 No. 10):
This five-year-old So You Think mare trained by Chris Waller is the early favourite in this Class 3 Plate over 1400m. She battled on near the rail for 2.7 lengths 4th over 1600m at Eagle Farm on 3 April, then was 3rd on the home turn but winded for 5.65 lengths 8th over 1600m at Eagle Farm on 17 April where she was vetted and found sore in one leg. Resumes from a 13 week spell where she has drawn the outside barrier. With only three wins from 29 starts I’m prepared to risk her here.

Key Comments The rail is true. The track is in the soft range. This track usually favours those on speed. Best Bet Final Atom (Horsham Race 7 No. 1) Should land up on speed and prove hard to catch. Walters steers from the good draw and she is 3 rides aboard for 2 seconds. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Bubble Palace (Horsham Race 6 No. 5) Should

Key Comments The best bet bobs up in the first. The track is in the heavy range. Best Bet Snatchreilly (Newcastle Race 1 No. 5) Good 2 efforts so far this prep. Maps really well, goes forward and Latham sticks. Slight query on heavy ground but ticks all the other boxes.

Key Comments The feature races are the Adelaide Guineas (race 6), Queen Elizabeth II Cup (race 7) and the South Australian Derby (race 8). The track is good and the rail is +2 metres from the 1200m to the winning post and true for the remainder. Best Bet The Map (Morphettville Race 7 No. 2) She’s has had a 7 week let-up after just missing in the Adelaide Cup and comes off a trial win at Balaklava. Going really well this campaign and

Key Comments Wagga Cup Day. The Gold Cup is the feature and it is race 7. The best bet is in the feature. Best Bet Fawkner Park (Wagga Riverside Race 7 No. 7) Happy to risk him with the wide draw. Last win was so dominant and you can fan wide and win on this track. Very difficult barrier but backing in Schiller. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Cruizingdafield (Wagga
