Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 27 Journalists Share Posted June 27 What Tatts Tiara Day 2024 Where Eagle Farm Racecourse – 230 Lancaster Rd, Ascot QLD 4007 When Saturday, June 29, 2024 First Race 11:43am AEST Visit Dabble The Group 1 Tatts Tiara will headline a massive nine-race card at Eagle Farm this Saturday in the penultimate meeting of the Queensland Racing Carnival. The program will feature three races in Listed grade and three at Group level, while the Battle Of The Bush Final will be a highlight for Queensland’s country trainers. The track is rated as a Soft 5 at the time of acceptances, and with little to no rain on the forecast, there is a chance the surface could improve before the start of the meeting. The rail will be in the +6m position from the 1600m-1000m and in the +7m position for the remainder, with the opening race scheduled to jump at 11:43am AEST. Race 1: QTIS 3YO Fillies Plate (1200m) Tony Gollan and James McDonald will combine with Cassiere following her encouraging runner-up performance on her Australian debut at Doomben on June 5. The daughter of Swiss Ace won her debut run at Matamata before being sent over to the Gollan stable, and after finishing off strongly over 1110m first-up, she should appreciate the rise to 1200m second-up. The booking of McDonald is a key factor, and if he can slot into midfield from barrier five, Cassiere’s turn of foot will give her every chance. Selections: 11 CASSIERE 9 NAVYONTHEHIGHWAY 1 PURE PARADISE 4 CIGAR FLICK Race 2: Listed Tattersall’s Stakes (1400m) After an ultra-impressive victory at Canterbury on debut, Depth Of Character was set a tough task in the Listed Oxlade Stakes on his second start. The Annabel Neasham-trained colt settled midfield and didn’t get the clearest of runs from the 600m mark; however, he weaved a passage back to the inside and nabbed third place. The son of Deep Field looks as though he will enjoy stepping out over 1400m third-up, and with James McDonald in the saddle, he should prove hard to beat. Selections: 1 DEPTH OF CHARACTER 5 HEINOUS 2 STEEL STRIKE 6 MISS TRUSTFUL Best Bet Race 2 – #1 Depth Of Character (5) 2yo Colt | T: Annabel Neasham | J: James McDonald (57kg) +130 with PlayUp Race 3: Benchamark 85 Handicap (1200m) After finishing an unlucky runner-up behind Hidden Wealth last start, Millane should get every chance to turn the tables on his main market rival in this race. The Tony Gollan runner jumped from a wide gate and was forced back before running up the inside to flash home for second, less than a length off the winner. Although the son of Zoustar has drawn wide again in barrier 12, there isn’t much speed in this race, so he can push forward to settle midfield this time. Selections: 4 MILLANE 11 HIDDEN WEALTH 16 NANAGUI 7 HATCHET Next Best Race 3 – #4 Millane (12) 4yo Gelding | T: Tony Gollan | J: James McDonald (60.5kg) +170 with Dabble Race 4: Battle Of The Bush Final (1200m) Jack Be Lucky has won four of his last eight starts and is coming off a good fourth-place finish at Ipswich over 1100m. The son of Holy Roman Emperor has only missed the placings once over 1200m, and he will be peaking for his target race as he heads to Eagle Farm for the first time. If Karl Zechner can settle midfield from barrier 12 and get to the middle of the track on the home turn, Jack Be Lucky can play a prominent role in the finish at a good each-way quote with online bookmakers. Selections: 12 JACK BE LUCKY 11 THE CARPENTER 9 PARKO 1 TIGER LEGEND Best Value Race 4 – #12 Jack Be Lucky (12) 5yo Gelding | T: Corey & Kylie Geran | J: Karl Zechner (54.5kg) +850 with Neds Race 5: Listed Tattersall’s Gold Crown (2413m) Deny Knowledge was putting together a good preparation before recording a 13th-place finish in the Group 3 JRA Chairman’s Handicap, where the Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained mare gave considerable ground in the final 600m. Now that she is fourth-up and strikes a race with no speed, the daughter of Pride Of Dubai can run the race to suit herself. If Deny Knowledge can produce a similar performance to her Mornington Cup run two starts back, her rivals will struggle to run her down late. Selections: 1 DENY KNOWLEDGE 2 THALASSOPHILE 4 PRINCESS RHAENYS 14 ELLA’S WORLD Race 6: Group 3 Tattersall’s Cup (2400m) It is hard to go past Knight’s Choice after his impressive display behind Fawkner Park in the Group 2 Q22 at this track over 2200m. The John Symons & Sheila Laxon-trained gelding is unproven at the trip, but he ran through the line as strongly as any of his rivals in this, and it shouldn’t be a problem with less weight. If Robbie Dolan can get him into clear air with 300m to go, Knight’s Choice can go one better and record his first win of the campaign. Selections: 7 KNIGHT’S CHOICE 1 VOW AND DECLARE 6 NAVAL COLLEGE 12 ENCODER Tattersall’s Cup Race 6 – #7 Knight’s Choice (2) 4yo Gelding | T: John Symons & Sheila Laxon | J: Robbie Dolan (56.5kg) +340 with Picklebet Race 7: Listed Tattersall’s Mile (1600m) Charterhouse has been good without winning in two starts this preparation, but he now gets to his favourite distance. Second-up, the son of Charming Thought ran home nicely from the back of the field to finish fifth, beaten 2.4 lengths behind Freedom Rally in the Listed Wayne Wilson. Jumping from gate three, Charterhouse will settle near the rear of the field and appreciate a hot speed before finishing off strongly down the outside. Selections: 4 CHARTERHOUSE 5 IKNOWASTAR 2 NEW MANDATE 7 MARACANA Race 8: Group 1 Tatts Tiara (1400m) The final Group 1 of the 2023/24 season will be the Tatts Tiara over 1400m for fillies and mares, with 17 runners expected to take their place. Ciaron Maher’s Bella Nipotina holds favouritism with top horse racing betting sites, just ahead of Chris Waller-trained mare C’est Magique. Will Australia’s top stables fight out the 2024 edition of the Tatts Tiara, or will one of the Queensland-trained runners continue the recent local dominance of the race?

Healy Stakes (1200m) All The Pizzazz has finished in the top four in all three starts this preparation and now drops back from Group 2 level after a solid showing in the Moreton Cup. The son of Sprit Of Boom ran home well from the back of the field to finish fourth in the June 8 feature, beaten 3.8 lengths by Vilana. James McDonald will take the ride on this four-year-old gelding, and if he lets down like he did last start, All That Pizzazz will play a big role in the closing stages of the W.J. Healy Stakes.
