Eagle Farm tips and best bets for February 6, 2021

What Eagle Farm Races
Where Eagle Farm Racing Club – 230 Lancaster Rd, Ascot QLD 4007
When Saturday, February 6, 2021
First Race 12.43pm AEDT

Nine races have been scheduled for Eagle Farm on Saturday afternoon. The track is a Good 4, and the rail is out +3.5m for the entire circumference of the course. Race 1 is set to jump at 12:43pm.

Best Bet – Race 7 #4 Ingear $1.65

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to have found Ingear as a special here, but she looks near enough to a good thing as you will get. Michael Rodd and Tony Gollan are going along at 29%, and the Blacksoil Bloodstock silks have been airborne. Ingear returned in style to win by 3L at this track over the 1000m course when untouched. She has drawn ideally in barrier 5, should be able to lead and should simply prove too speedy. The daughter of Dissident is a two time winner at Eagle Farm, and the 1200m is not out of her comfort zone with two wins and two placings from five goes at the six furlongs. She should be winning this.

Next Best – Race 9 #4 Fisticuffs $3.75

Michael Rodd has a great book of rides on Saturday, and even if he didn’t, he would probably find a way to win of late, so we are happy to see him on both of our best bets. Fisticuffs was a good winner at the Gold Coast last time out, beating home Splendoronthegrass who ran second in the Sunshine Coast Cup last weekend. The four-year-old gelding has run third in both Eagle Farm starts, but hasn’t been beaten far in either. He stays at the 1400m and should get a good tempo to suit his run-on style of racing. From barrier 5, expect Rodd to get the son of Redoute’s Choice into a nice spot and wind him up in the business end.

Best Value – Race 8 #1 Batangas Entry $6

Kelly Schwieda’s Batangas Entry was a great winner in a weaker race last time out at Doomben over 1200m. The son of Vancouver was wide throughout but still moved up boldly to put the field to bed comfortably enough. He has to give these at least 2.5kg which is a slight concern, but he has a clear class edge in our opinion, so he is a deserving top weight. He’ll settle midfield, hopefully with cover, under James Orman and should move into the race well enough to win this over 1400m. His two runs at the start of this campaign came in some good black type races, so he will appreciate the lesser class here again.

Best BetRace 8 – Batangas Entry (#1) $6 with Sportsbet
