We enter the new year with sunshine on our backs and optimism in our eyes and we will need every bit of that today at Eagle Farm. With magic millions just around the corner the quality youngsters are back in action and wound up for a great days racing in the hot south east. We will be racing on a good 4 track with the rail out nine metres for the entire course with the first race is to jump at 1.33pm AEST.
Race 1: MAIDEN (1845M)
The first for the day and we head off over the 1845M. Happy to side with Enviable here who was running over very nicely over the 1600M last start at the Sunshine Coast and with the addition of Ben Thompson who is flying this looks a super bet reaching peak fitness third up.
Race 2: MAIDEN (1200M)
Not keen this race.
Race 3: Class 4 (1600M)
There is not a stack of quality in this race but the favourite in Sailor does look hard to beat. He ran eight of ten last start, but it was a blanket finish for most of the field. He did start to pick up late as well and the extra distance over the 1600M will really assist.
Race 4: MAIDEN (1400M)
Through to the keeper here.
Race 5: Benchmark 72 (1400M)
Mix on last start is deserved favourite particularly after what Fashion Legend came out and did on the weekend however the sixty one kilos will really hamper the chances. Siding with Merimee here after two tune up trials at a track where she has had success before it does set up very nicely for her.
Race 6: Benchmark 68 (1000M)
Mugs engage Beast Mode here, 2/2 time to make it 3/3.
Race 7: Benchmark 68 (1000M)
Well the money has come and after the win first up we just have to be with him again, King Kapa, time to fill up.
Race 8: Class 2 (1845M)
Kopangi is killing us and cannot possibly have it again here at that price. We have settled on Bedford Square here who is third up but the test here will be the first run at Eagle Farm as that is always a fresh challenge.
