Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 14, 2023 Journalists Share Posted September 14, 2023 What Eagle Farm Races Where Eagle Farm Racecourse – 230 Lancaster Rd, Ascot QLD 4007 When Saturday, September 16, 2023 First Race 11:58am AEST Visit Ladbrokes Queensland metropolitan racing heads to Eagle Farm Racecourse on Saturday for an ultra-competitive nine-race program set for decision. The rail is out +2m the entire circuit, and with only a minor chance of rain predicted, we’re confident the Good 4 surface currently listed will hold. The first race is set to get underway at 11:58am AEST. Best Bet at Eagle Farm: Chernak Chernak is racing in supreme order and is seeking his third-straight for the Chris Waller barn. Since having a letup in the middle of July the five-year-old gelding has put together back-to-back wins at Eagle Farm, with his latest a dominant 3.3-length demolition of his rivals on September 2. The son of Dariyan only gets a 1kg penalty for the win staying in BM78 company, and from barrier two on Saturday, Chernak should get every chance to bring up his fifth-career victory. Best Bet Race 2 – #2 Chernak (2) 5yo Gelding | T: Chris Waller | J: Mark Du Plessis (58.5kg) +125 with Boombet Next Best Bet at Eagle Farm: Show Me Mercy Show Me Mercy is an undefeated three-year-old trained by Stuart Kendrick and was a terrific returning winner at Sunshine Coast on August 27. He cruised through the line for a solid victory, going on to score by 2.3 lengths in the five-horse field, proving to have lost no ability despite the lengthy 273-day spell. 3kg claiming apprentice Bailey Wheeler is set to take the reins again from an awkward draw (8); however, provided Show Me Mercy gains cover on the three-wide line turning for home, this progressive gelding by Astern should prove very hard to beat. Next Best Race 7 – #3 Show Me Mercy (8) 3yo Gelding | T: Stuart Kendrick | J: Bailey Wheeler (a3) (57kg) +200 with Bet365 Best Value at Eagle Farm: Bedford Square Bedford Square will finally be getting out to her most suitable trip on Saturday, and it’s a terrific time to be backing her on the each-way basis. The six-year-old mare has been monstering the line over 1400m in her last two starts, showing she hasn’t lost her turn-of-foot when peaking in the run. Now’s the perfect opportunity for the daughter of Tavistock to get out to the 1600m, and with a soft gate (4) to give jockey Melea Castle all the options, we think Bedford Square can find the winner’s enclosure for the first time since February of 2022. Best Value Race 1 – #12 Bedford Square (4) 6yo Mare | T: Jack Bruce | J: Melea Castle (a3) (55.5kg) +850 with Ladbrokes Saturday’s quaddie tips for Eagle Farm Eagle Farm quadrella selections Saturday, September 16, 2023 4-5-6-12-13 3-6-10 3-8 3-5-6-11 Investment: $120 for 100% More horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
