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.

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: VIC Saturday 4th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The track is in the soft range. This track usually favours those on speed. Best Bet Final Atom (Horsham Race 7 No. 1) Should land up on speed and prove hard to catch. Walters steers from the good draw and she is 3 rides aboard for 2 seconds. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Bubble Palace (Horsham Race 6 No. 5) Should

Key Comments The best bet bobs up in the first. The track is in the heavy range. Best Bet Snatchreilly (Newcastle Race 1 No. 5) Good 2 efforts so far this prep. Maps really well, goes forward and Latham sticks. Slight query on heavy ground but ticks all the other boxes.

Key Comments The feature races are the Adelaide Guineas (race 6), Queen Elizabeth II Cup (race 7) and the South Australian Derby (race 8). The track is good and the rail is +2 metres from the 1200m to the winning post and true for the remainder. Best Bet The Map (Morphettville Race 7 No. 2) She’s has had a 7 week let-up after just missing in the Adelaide Cup and comes off a trial win at Balaklava. Going really well this campaign and

Key Comments Wagga Cup Day. The Gold Cup is the feature and it is race 7. The best bet is in the feature. Best Bet Fawkner Park (Wagga Riverside Race 7 No. 7) Happy to risk him with the wide draw. Last win was so dominant and you can fan wide and win on this track. Very difficult barrier but backing in Schiller. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Cruizingdafield (Wagga
