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: SA Saturday 18th May 2024
Key Comments There are 9 races on the Parks circuit. The track is rated good and the rail is +3 metres from the 1000m -to the winning post and true for the remainder. Best Bet Easy Campese (Morphettville Race 3 No. 4) Easy Campese has been runner-up at his last 3 races and is ready to win. With the 2kg claim for Alana Livesay he will only carry 52.5 kg down from 59kg last start and hopefully that will make all the difference.

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The feature races include the Straight Six (race 7) and the Andrew Ramsden (race 8). The best bet looks well placed to bounce back and very hard to beat if finding its old form. Best Bet Niance (Flemington Race 3 No. 7) Had excuses last start when bungling the jump. Looks really hard to beat if finding its old form and there was so much to like about the wins prior. Looks way over the

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The best bet comes up in the second race and is a very progressive type that can continue on its winning spree. Best Bet Affluential (Werribee Race 2 No. 4) Has been on a winning spree and showing no signs of slowing down. Should land in a beautiful spot from the draw and no reason to suggest it can't win again on the way to better races. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:

Key Comments The rail is true. Racing on the synthetic. The best bet comes up in the first and just needs even luck from the barrier to be winning. Best Bet Howgoodisvegas (Canberra Race 1 No. 1) 2 wins on the trot and both of them have been convincing. Should be able to slide forward from the wide draw and make It three in a row.
