Our Eagle Farm Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Neutron (Eagle Farm Race 3 No. 4)
This Starcraft gelding has a win and two places from six starts. He finished last campaign with 2.9 lengths 5th over 1400m at Gold Coast on 29 May, then resumed over 1350m at Doomben on 12 September where he was 8th at the home turn and ran on well to just miss for 0.1 length 2nd. He rates highly here.

Snitch (Eagle Farm Race 8 No. 2):
This six-year-old gelding has nine wins and eight places from 32 starts. He finished 0.2 length, 1.75 length 3rd behind The Candy Man over 1400m at Eagle Farm on 29 August, then jumped awkwardly, settled way back and was held up when running 3.2 lengths 7th in the Listed Weetwood Quality Handicap over 1200m at Toowoomba on 26 September. He is on a seven-day back-up and is worth an each-way bet.

Usmanov (Eagle Farm Race 6 No. 2):
This Choisir gelding is the early favourite in this Open Handicap over 1000m. He finished 1.6 lengths 4th in the Listed Hinkler Handicap over 1110m at Doomben on 30 May then was spelled for 16 weeks. He resumed for 2.25 lengths 2nd behind Zoustyle over 900m at Gold Coast on 19 September where the winner was just too good for him. This is a race with many chances and he doesn’t represent value.

Key Comments The features are the $30,000 Tennant Creek Cup (race 6) and the $21,500 Denis Staunton Memorial Cup (race 5). The sand track is rated good and the rail in in the true position. Best Bet Merseyside (Tennant Creek Race 4 No. 2) Merseyside has been runner-up at her last 2 starts in Darwin and that form looks good enough to win this.

Key Comments The dirt track is rated Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Crystal Vain (Carnarvon Race 4 No. 2) Had 2 good runs before falling at Narrogin last start. Has had a 4 week let-up and is drawn wide but still looks a wining chance.

Key Comments The main feature is the Group 3 $200,000 Belmont Sprint (race 8). The track is Good and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Generosity (Belmont Race 5 No. 2) She has had 2 placings this campaign where she’s made a big run from well back in the field. The extra distance will suit and she has won at Belmont before . Top pick. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson Each Way

Key Comments 2nd day of the Scone Carnival. Plenty of features including the Woodlands Stakes (race 3), Denise Joy Stakes (race 6), Ortensia Stakes (race 7), the Dark Jewel Classic (race 8) and Luskin Star Stakes (race 9). Best Bet Jedibeel (Scone Race 10 No. 8) Lovely return effort when being backed off the map and showed off a fine turn of foot. Can go right on with things here and should get a nice tow into it from barrier 7. Hard to
