Gotta Kiss (Eagle Farm Race 7 No. 13)
This Not A Single Doubt filly trained by Steven O’dea has three wins and five places from 10 starts and goes well at this track. She resumed from a 24 week spell for 1.6 lengths 4th over 1000m at Sunshine Coast on 21 November, then came from well back to finish 3 lengths 2nd behind Isotope in the Listed Mode Stakes on 5 December. The set weight conditions and the extra distance suits and she should win.

Each Way
So You Win (Eagle Farm Race 6 No. 3):
This six-year-old So You Think gelding has two wins and two places from his last four starts. He won narrowly in an open quality handicap over 2000m at Dommben on 5 December, then was slowly away and got bumped before finishing 0.75, 1.25 lengths 3rd over 2020m at Doomben on 19 December. He is racing well and looks a nice each-way bet.

Smart ‘N’ Sexy (Eagle Farm Race 5 No. 15):
This three-year-old Smart Missile filly is the early favourite in this BM 75 Handicap over 1400m. She finished last campaign with a 0.2 length win in the Listed Dalrello 2YO Plate over 1200m at Eagle Farm on 13 June, then resumed from a 27 week spell for 2.1 lengths 4th over 1200m at Doomben on 19 December where she over-raced early. This is a very open race and she offers no value.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Monday 20th January 2025
Key Comments The track is in the soft range. The best bet comes up towards the end of the day and can resume a winner after a last start flop prior to being sent to the paddock. Best Bet Baggage Handler (Albury Race 7 No. 4) Big win 2 starts back and last time out failed as a very short favourite. Trials have been rock solid since then, including a very good second on this track and looks well placed to take this

Key Comments The feature is the $100,000 Mungrup Sprint over 1300 metres (race 7). The track is rated good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Parc It In Here (Mount Barker Race 3 No. 3) Tends to settle well back in the field and runs home strongly. Won at Albany 2 starts back then was 0.7 length off the winner last start. The rise in distance should suit and he looks the testing material. Check odds on SmartB
