Our Eagle Farm Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Joymaker (Eagle Farm Race 2 No. 2)
This five-year-old Casino Prince mare trained by Kelly Schweida is in great form with a win and two 2nds from her last three starts. She ran on from well back in the field for 1.25 lengths 2nd over 1805m at Eagle Farm on 6 March, then took over at the 200m and bolted in for a 3 length win over 2206m at Eagle Form on 20 March. She has won twice before at this track and distance combination and should win again.

Each Way
Hidden Eyes (Eagle Farm Race 3 No. 4):
This four-year-old Sepoy gelding has three wins and eight places from 16 starts. He settled 4th and fought hard in the straight to just miss for 0.2 length 2nd over 1200m at Ipswich on 13 March, then ran a similar race to finish 0.2 length 2nd over 1300m at Eagle Farm on 20 March. He shouldn’t be far away and is worth an each-way bet again.

Best Lay
Word For Word (Eagle Farm Race 8 No. 3):
This five-year-old So You Think mare is the early favourite in this Class 6 Handicap over 1600m. She chased near the rail for 0.4 lengths 2nd in a Class 3 over 1600m at Sunshine Coast on 27 February, then started favourite but couldn’t go with the winner and finished 1.75 lengths 2nd in a Class 3 over 1600m at Eagle Farm on 20 March. This is a little harder and she won’t find this any easier than last start.

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Tuesday 17th September 2024
Key Comments The track is in the soft range. Focusing on runners that are on speed as that is how the track typically plays. The best bet was narrowly denied last start and can notch up another career win in a very suitable race. Best Bet Privacy Tour (Wodonga Race 6 No. 6) Narrowly denied last run and the form has stood up since. While this is a rise in grade, on paper this race is no harder. Egan takes over and drops

Key Comments 7 race card takes place. The best bet comes up in the first and has been subject to plenty of market support and should take beating off the back of a strong run fresh. Best Bet Tycoon Jenny (Corowa Race 7 No. 1) She has been hard to catch lately but form has been back on track and ticks all the boxes for this. Her best is good enough, maps for a good run and is in okay at the weights

Key Comments Racing on a soft track. The best bet comes up later on in the day and should appreciate the drop in grade. It is still looming around healthy odds at time of typing. Best Bet Great Siege (Tamworth Race 6 No. 5) Well placed to be taking this out. Has to lump the weight but drops back in grade off a commendable return on the back of a freshen up. Has won on this track and looks well placed in this

Key Comments Expecting on pace runners to be suited on this track. Running on an expected heavy deck so looking towards runners that will handle the conditions. Best Bet Three Grand (Hamilton Race 8 No. 10) Tricky card to sort with plenty of chances. Three Grand has been around the mark this prep. Unknown on a heavy deck but proven down to soft footing, Allen hops back aboard and he is 1/1 when steering. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
