Wednesday’s Eagle Farm racing tips & quaddie | December 27, 2023
| What | Eagle Farm Races |
| Where | Eagle Farm Racecourse – 230 Lancaster Rd, Ascot QLD 4007 |
| When | Wednesday, December 27, 2023 |
| First Race | 1:36pm AEST |
Brisbane Racing Club will host a very competitive seven-race card at Eagle Farm this Wednesday afternoon. Although there are showers forecast for the day, the warmer weather should see the track improve from the Soft 5 rating to a Good 4 before the start of the program. The rail will be pushed out to the +9m position for the entire circuit, which should play favourably to on-speed runners. The opening race at Eagle Farm will jump at 1:36pm AEST.
Best Bet at Eagle Farm: Ring Of Steel
Ring Of Steel is coming off his best run in recent starts, where he was just overrun late by Majorelle at Ipswich over 1100m on December 6. After being well beaten first-up at this track four weeks prior, the Kelly Schweida-trained gelding turned in a much better performance second-up for this campaign. On Wednesday, this son of I Am Invincible will drop back in distance to 1000m and jump from barrier one, which should see James Orman push forward and lead the field up. If Ring Of Steel runs up to his last start effort, he should be winning this race.
Best Bet
Race 5 – 
#7 Ring Of Steel (1)
4yo Gelding | T: Kelly Schweida | J: James Orman (58.5kg)
Next Best at Eagle Farm: Bullion Boy
Michael Murphy and Linday Gough went within a nostril of recording back-to-back wins last start at this track when they combined with Bullion Boy in a Benchmark 70 Handicap over 1500m on December 9. This four-year-old gelding settled behind the speed and had to push his way into the open upon straightening, before battling down the straight with the winner, Brave Maso. Although he finished second, this son of Dream Ahead was very good once again and will appreciate the step up to 1600m third-up. From barrier one, Bullion Boy should settle in the box seat, and with even luck in the straight, he should prove too good for his rivals late.
Next Best
Race 7 – 
#4 Bullion Boy (1)
4yo Gelding | T: Lindsay Gough | J: Michael Murphy (60kg)
Best Value at Eagle Farm: Mixed Spice
Helen Page chose to take her three-year-old filly, Mixed Spice, to back-to-back Listed races in her last two starts, where she finished third in the Mode Plate and 11th of 12 in the Gold Edition Plate. After somewhat of a failure in her most recent start, this girl will drop sharply in grade to a mid-week Class 2 Handicap. Tegan Marshall has ridden this daughter of Russian Revolution in every start of this campaign, and she will continue her affiliation with her when she jumps from barrier eight on Wednesday. With a lot of speed drawn outside of Mixed Spice, she should be able to settle in the first four and play a prominent role in the finish.
Best Value
Race 6 – 
#8 Mixed Spice (9)
3yo Filly | T: Helen Page | J: Tegan Marshall (58kg)
