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 Expecting on pace runners to be suited on this tight turning track. The best bet will need some luck from the wide draw but does its best racing here. Best Bet Brooklyn Baby (Kyneton Race 7 No. 5) Boasts a strong first up record and very good record at the track. Keating knows the horse very well and he can land it up on speed from the wide draw. Around the $7.50 mark at time of typing is strong odds.

Key Comments The track is in the soft range. Expecting all runners to have their chance on this typically fair playing track. Alysha Collett rides the best of the day and comes up mid way through the day. Best Bet Don't Doubt Merlin (Muswellbrook Race 3 No. 5) Big win on debut then tipped out after being a beaten $2.40 favourite at start number two but far from disgraced. A recent trial in heavy conditions was a strong piece of work and kicking
