Our Eagle Farm Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Volcanic Rock (Eagle Farm Race 2 No. 9)
This two-year-old Hinchinbrook gelding trained by Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott has a win and a place from three starts. At the end of his first campaign he finished 8.6 lengths 8th in the Inglis Nursery over 1000m at Randwick on 12 December and was found to be lame. After 23 weeks he resumed to finish 0.76 length 2nd over 1300m at Rosehill on 22 May. With natural improvement he will be hard to beat.

Each Way
Polly Grey (Eagle Farm Race 7 No. 2):
This six-year-old grey mare trained by Chris Waller has nine wins and eight places from 31 starts, and has won three of her last four starts. She kept chasing to find the front at the 150m and kept going for a 0.68 length win in the Listed Gosford Gold Cup over 2100m on 8 May, then ran on strongly to win by 0.39 length in the Listed Lord Mayors Cup over 2000m at Rosehill on 22 May. Drops back in distance here but is in such good form she is worth an each-way bet.

Best Lay
Bold Style (Eagle Farm Race 3 No. 5):
This four-year-old gelding is the early favourite in the QTIS Gold Jewel Handicap over 1300m. He finished 2.7 lengths 4th over 1200m at Eagle Farm on 1 May, then wasn’t far away when 0.6 length 5th over 1200m at Eagle Farm on 29 May. He drops in weight but I’m willing to risk him here.

Horse Racing Tips: SA Friday 13th September 2024
Key Comments The track is rated soft and the rail is +2 metres from the 1400m to 1200m,+2 metres from the 800m to 400m and true for the remainder. This is the same as the last meeting on 18th August. Best Bet Reciprocal (Bordertown Race 3 No. 10) Resumed to finish midfield at Murray Bridge when fresh coming from the back of the field. Clearly looking for longer than the 1000m and looks well-suited by the 1200m here. Check odds on SmartB

Key Comments The track is in the good range. Plenty of features including the Exford Plate (race 2), Cap D'antibes Stakes (race 3), Poseidon Stakes (race 4), Archer Stakes (race 5), Vale Black Caviar Stakes (race 6), Let's Elope Stakes (race 7), Makybe Diva (race 8) and Bobbie Lewis Quality (race 9). Best Bet Growing Empire (Flemington Race 4 No. 1) Very promising runner who won with ease last start and looks suited to this field. Maps for a good run in transit

Key Comments 8 race card taking place. The track is in the soft range. Multiple well priced short favourites take place on this card. The best bet comes up later in the day and brings undeniable claims to what is a solid maiden field. Best Bet November Air (Goulburn Race 7 No. 10) Brings in some really strong form to this deep maiden. Draw makes things tricky but can land on the speed and Collett is booked which is ideal. Should give this

Key Comments 8 races in the card. The track is in the good 4 range. Plenty of quality jockeys riding in the meeting. Best Bet Late Arrival (Geelong Race 8 No. 9) Scored last start by a narrow margin but showed a good turn of foot in doing so and can handle the rise in grade in what is a race lacking depth. Maps well and has more upside than most of these. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
