Golden Eagle 2020 betting preview

The Iron Jack Golden Eagle is the feature event at Rosehill on Saturday afternoon, when a capacity field of 18 will duke it out for a share of $7.5 million. With substantial rain forecasted throughout the week leading up to the race, we are on the hunt for plenty of mudlarks to help connections land the massive prize tag. The second running of the Golden Eagle will take place at 4:50pm AEDT.


Best BetColette (#13) $7.50 with Sportsbet

The Godolphin mare seemingly relishes the heavy going. Considering she has been far from disgraced in each of her three runs on firmer tracks so far this campaign, she looks primed to run a big race in the Golden Eagle. She won the Australian Oaks on a Heavy 8 back in April at Randwick, and similar conditions on Saturday could see her add the Golden Eagle to her resume. After drawing barrier six, Colette maps to get a beautiful run and could take a power of beating if things go her way.


Next BestFunstar (#12) $2.70 with Sportsbet

Despite drawing the car park, it would be silly to rule out Chris Waller’s talented mare on Saturday. She got the run of the race in the Epsom Handicap four weeks ago and looked the winner when entering the home straight, but she was simply outclassed by her old sparring partner Probabeel. It’s easy to see she loves a track with the sting out of the ground, and she’s yet to miss the quinella when racing on heavy going. The slight query is where she ends up in the running from the widest barrier, but it is hard to let her go around without anything on her.


Best ValueRiodini (#5) $17 with Sportsbet

There was only a head separating Funstar and Riodini in their last-start efforts in the Epsom Handicap, but you’re getting triple the price for the Waterhouse & Bott galloper. He maps to settle on the outside of Funstar from barrier seven and, with a bit of cover in the running, looks to be one of the better plays at double figures in the Golden Eagle. He is undefeated on rain-affected tracks, so he must be included in any exotics you are playing.
