Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 5, 2023 Journalists Share Posted October 5, 2023 What Eagle Farm Races Where Eagle Farm Racecourse – 230 Lancaster Rd, Ascot QLD 4007 When Saturday, October 7, 2023 First Race 11:48am AEST Visit Dabble The Brisbane Racing Club will host a massive 10-race program at Eagle Farm this Saturday afternoon, with the Listed Queensland Cup headlining the card. With good weather expected all weekend, the track should stay at the current Good 4 rating for the whole day. The rail has been pushed out slightly from last weekend to the +6m position for the entire circuit, and the opening race will kick off at 11:48am AEST. Queensland Cup Tip: King Frankel The Annabel Neasham-trained King Frankel has finished down the field and well outside the placings at his first two starts this preparation in Group 3 company. However, now that this five-year-old gelding drops back to Listed grade and steps up in trip to 2400m – a distance where he was placed at Group 1 level last campaign – he appears to have found a winnable race third-up. Ben Thompson can lob in the box seat from barrier one and give his mount every chance to return to the winner’s circle in a wide-open edition of the Queensland Cup. Queensland Cup Race 8 – #1 King Frankel (1) 5yo Gelding | T: Annabel Neasham | J: Ben Thompson (60.5kg) +800 with PendleburyBet Best Bet at Eagle Farm: Kronenbourg Kronenbourg from the Tony Gollan yard has won four of his last five starts, with his most recent victory coming over 1625m at Toowoomba when running away from his rivals in the final 100m. After such a dominant win, the step up to 1830m should be ideal for this talented stayer. James Orman may have been the catalyst for this gelding’s run of form, claiming four wins from five rides. If Orman can settle outside the leader from barrier nine, Kronenbourg should be able to continue his winning ways. Best Bet Race 5 – #5 Kronenbourg (9) 5yo Gelding | T: Tony Gollan | J: James Orman (59kg) +190 with Betfair Next Best at Eagle Farm: Outlawed Outlawed has recorded three wins from five starts this preparation, with the Robert Heathcote-trained galloper proving too good for a Benchmark 75 Fillies & Mares field at Toowoomba last start. Since breaking her maiden four runs back, this daughter of Foxwedge has gone through the grades nicely and now has great chance to maintain her unbeaten record at Eagle Farm. Ben Thomspon has been aboard for all three wins on this girl, and with him sticking, we expect Outlawed to settle towards the back of the field before letting down with her superior turn of foot in the final 300m. Next Best Race 6 – #13 Outlawed (6) 4yo Mare | T: Robert Heathcote | J: Ben Thompson (55.5kg) +275 with Boombet Best Value at Eagle Farm: Mississippi Prince Mississippi Prince returns from a four-month spell and has won first-up to begin both of his last two campaigns. This son of Foxwedge has been given an easy 1000m trial at Doomben and should be ready to go. The five-year-old gelding appears to be the only leader in this race, so Samantha Collett should be able to find an easy lead from barrier four and run the race to suit. If that happens and he can kick off the home bend, Mississippi Prince will be very hard to run down. Best Value Race 10 – #11 Mississippi Prince (4) 5yo Gelding | T: Brent Gray | J: Samantha Collett (56kg) +1100 with Dabble Saturday quaddie tips for Eagle Farm races Eagle Farm quadrella selections Saturday, October 7, 2023 3-7-9-14-16 1-2-4-7 1-3-5-11 7-8-11-16 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip More horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
