Our Eagle Farm Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Irish Sequel (Eagle Farm Race 3 No. 2)
This six-year-old Invincible Spirit gelding trained by Chris Waller has three wins and four places from 16 starts. He fought on for 1.5 lengths 5th over 1800m at Gold Coast on 18 September, then took over at the 100m and won by 1.25 lengths over 2030m on a soft track at Doomben on 2 October. Jim Byrne sticks with him and he is the leading hope.

Each Way
Lyrical Girl (Eagle Farm Race 10 No. 9):
This five-year-old Your Song mare trained by Tony Gollan has four wins and six places from 12 starts. She resumed from a 30 week spell to run 4 lengths 3rd over 1050m at Doomben on 28 August, then led early and was headed at the 150m to run one length 3rd over 1000m at Toowoomba on 25 September. Goes well on a softer track and looks a good each-way chance again.

Salateen (Eagle Farm Race 4 No. 9):
This four-year-old I Am Invincible mare trained by Tony Gollan is the early favourite in this Fillies & Mares BM 75 Handicap over 1200m. At the end of last campaign she was beaten at the 250m and was badly winded to finish 8.4 lengths 7th over 1300m at Warwick Farm on heavy going on 12 May, and was spelled for 19 weeks. She resumed with a powerful 3.25 win over 1200m at Doomben on 26 September. Didn’t fire second-up last campaign, and offers no value at the short price.

Key Comments There is a 9-race program under the lights at Happy Valley. The rail is in the B position for the meeting, and the rain is forecast to stop before racing starts so the track should be an improving Soft 5. The first race is at 6.40pm Hong Kong time which is 8.40pm AEST. Best Bet Super Joy N Fun (Happy Valley Race 9 No. 8) Resumes after 10 weeks and has won both of his starts. He came 2nd at a

Key Comments The track is in the heavy range. Keep an eye on the conditions in the lead up and fingers crossed the meeting still goes ahead. Best Bet Self Worth (Grafton Race 1 No. 7) Looks well placed to resume a winner. Concede there has been 17 career starts for Self Worth but it does find a very thin maiden and has enough early speed to find a prominent spot and off set the wide draw. Check odds on SmartB

Key Comments The track is rated soft and the rail is +7 metres from the 800m to 400m and +6 for the remainder. Best Bet Chosen Miss (Gawler Race 4 No. 1) Last start she was 0.5 length 2nd at Strathalbyn and the start before was a 4 length winner at Balaklava. She’s in form and gets a 3kg claim for Tala Hutchinson. Nicely placed. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way High On

Key Comments The track is in the heavy 10 range. The rail is in 3 metres. The best bet has heavy form and looks a big hope with Gibbons steering. Best Bet Bellascent (Wyong Race 4 No. 6) Excellent run last start almost pulling off the win at decent odds. That was on heavy ground and it got within .2 of the winner. Should get conditions to suit again here and by this time of the day being drawn wide may not be
