Our Eagle Farm Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Chico Milagro (Eagle Farm Race 1 No. 2)
This four-year-old I Am Invincible gelding trained by Tony Gollan has three wins and four places from 10 starts and goes well at this distance. Last campaign he hit the front for a narrow win over 1200m at Doomben on 12 September where he pulled up with blood in his nostrils. He resumed for 2.25, 1.25 lengths 3rd over 1050m at Doomben on 13 February. He goes well second-up and should win this.

Each Way
Loveisili (Eagle Farm Race 6 No. 4):
This four-year-old Dansili gelding has four wins and six places from 17 starts. He didn’t run on and the rider was concerned with his action when 17 lengths last over 1800m at Randwick on 9 January, then he hit the front at the 250m but couldn’t hold the winner when 2 lengths 2nd over 1845m at Eagle Farm on 25 February. He has two wins at 2100m and drops in weight, making him a nice each-way bet.

Word For Word (Eagle Farm Race 9 No. 11):
This five-year-old So You Think mare is the early favourite in this Class 3 Plate over 1600m. She was winded in the latter stages and finished 7.5 lengths 6th over 2000m at Rosehill on 30 January, then chased near the rail for 0.4 lengths 2nd in a Class 3 over 1600m at Sunshine Coast on 27 February. She is drawn wide and won’t find this any easier than last start.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Friday 17th May 2024
Key Comments The feature race is the Scone Cup (race 8). The rail is in the true position. The best bet looks a sure thing. Best Bet La Pleine Lune (Scone Race 5 No. 3) Absolutely romped in on debut. Concede it was in the right part of the track when the rail as hot however the race rated well, it had plenty more to give and the runner up has walked in since. Looks the good thing of all good things.
Horse Racing Tips: Happy Valley, Wednesday 15th May 2024
Key Comments There is a 9-race program under the lights at Happy Valley. The rail is in the C position for the meeting, and the skies are clear so the track should be a Good 4. The first race is at 6.40pm Hong Kong time which is 8.40pm AEST. Best Bet Turin Warrior (Happy Valley Race 7 No. 3) Last-start winner at this track and distance. He’s drawn well and Karis Teetan sticks. Strong chance. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
Horse Racing Tips: WA Thursday 16th May 2024
Key Comments The track is Good and the rail is +7 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Lifeisbutadream (Northam Race 2 No. 3) She kept chasing and just missed last start at Ascot on a soft track when resuming. Should improve off that run and be tough to beat Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way I'm Nipote (Northam Race 3 No. 5) He placed last start at this track and trip when wide
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Thursday 16th May 2024
Key Comments The track is in the heavy range. The rail is in the true position. The best bet comes up in the second race with Gibbons to steer. Best Bet Declichy Boulevard (Gosford Race 2 No. 8) Trials have been rock solid. Found open company too slick on debut but also had excuses on the day. Comes out of the right form race, finds Gibbons to ride and looks a major player in this suitable race. Hard to beat. Check odds
