Our Eagle Farm Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Palazzo Spirit (Eagle Farm Race 3 No. 1)
It’s been one race for one win for this two-year-old Spirit of Boom colt trained by Steven O’Dea & Matthew Hoysted. He was bumped at the start before going forward then led to the home turn where he drew clear in the straight and hung out in the final 100m but held on for a 0.2 length win with a big gap to 3rd over 1000m at Eagle Farm on 9 October. He won a recent trial at Doomben and is the one to beat.

Each Way
Jakama (Eagle Farm Race 9 No. 6):
This five-year-old Collate gelding trained by John Dann has five wins and five places from 21 starts. He fought on well for 0.4 length 3rd over 1400m at Eagle Farm on 6 November, then ran on and despite hanging in won by 0.3 length on a heavy track over 1350m at Ipswich on 27 November. Likely to race on the speed and looks a good each-way bet.

Best Lay
Expat (Eagle Farm Race 6 No. 3):
This four-year-old Makfi mare trained by Mark Newnham is the early favourite in this Listed Just Now Quality Handicap for fillies and mares over 1300m. She won two in a row before being disqualified at Randwick on 17 July due to a positive swab. When resuming from a 19 week spell she led all the way for a 1.5 length win over 1300m on heavy going at Rosehill on 27 November. She has six wins and a place from 10 starts but has failed at both of her second-up starts, so I’m prepared to risk her here.

Key Comments There is a huge 11-race program where the feature is the Group 3 Queen Mother Memorial Cup over 2400m (race 8). The rail is in the B position. There is plenty of rain forecast so the track will be a yielding surface. The first race is at 12.30 pm Hong Kong time which is 2.30 pm AEST. Best Bet Storming Dragon (Sha Tin Race 7 No. 8) Storming Dragon finished a length 3rd at his only start. He’s won a trial
