Saturday racing tips for Eagle Farm

Best Bet
Race 3 – Stuttering @ $2.80

Rob Heathcoate and Ron Stewart combine with the now four-year-old Stuttering in a 1600m Class 6 which looks right up his alley. In four runs this campaign, the Love Conquers All gelding has won three races and just missed in a three-way photo to run third in a quality three-year-old race. The form around him has been fantastic, with wins over the likes of Wednesday winner Roman Aureus and smart mare Euro Belle. He should land off the speed from barrier nine and take plenty of beating.

Next Best
Race 4 – Bleu Zebra @ $1.55

Tony Gollan saddles up his the promising Bleu Zebra in a QTIS 3YO Handicap over 1000m which looks ideal for the daughter of I Am Invincible. Having had just the one start for a dominant 2.5-length victory, Jim Byrne will take her to the front from barrier three, control the race and boot clear in the straight, emulating her maiden victory. She was an eight-length trial winner prior to her maiden, so she’s had plenty of people eagerly awaiting her city debut. She is very short in the betting, but it should be a sit-and-steer job for Byrne.

Best Value
Race 7 – Spring Creek @ $19

Spring Creek is coming off a brilliant fourth in the Rockhampton Newmarket a fortnight ago where she was drawn awkwardly and got back a bit further than usual before making late ground to just miss the placings. She had no luck in her two starts in similar races at Eagle Farm, getting shuffled a long way back on both occasions, so we believe she has got in under the radar at the $19 price. Chris Whiteley will look to settle a bit closer from barrier two, in which case the talented six-year-old mare will take some beating at a track that should suit her.
