Best Bet at Eagle Farm – Russian Warrior

We have a big opinion of Allan Chau’s filly Russian Warrior and now that she is deep into her preparation, we are confident that she will be winning. The daughter of Russian Revolution has always impressed us but she has bumped into some good opposition in her seven start career. After two minor placings at Grafton and Eagle Farm, Chau sent the three-year-old to Sydney to contest a very competitive 3YO Benchmark 72 Handicap over 1300m. She settled last and worked home really strongly against the pattern of the day to run sixth, just three lengths behind the likes of Manzoice, Backrower and Kibou. Now in a Fillies & Mares Class 3 Handicap in the Brisbane off-season, Russian Warrior can give this race a real shake. She has drawn to do no work in barrier four under Sean Cormack, while the rise to 1400m will be ideal. The only other time she has been fourth-up, she was an eight-length winner at Ipswich, so we’re hoping to see a similar result on Saturday.

Next Best at Eagle Farm – Mill Rossa

The Toowoomba trainers tend to be hard to beat this time of year in metropolitan races, and we are expecting that trend to continue on Saturday when Mark Currie saddles up five-year-old gelding Mill Rossa in a No Metro Wins Handicap. Just three starts ago, the son of Testa Rossa was running less than four lengths behind the now-Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes favourite Uncommon James at this track and distance with 55.5kg on his back, so you would like to think he can put away a field like this with 54kg. Currie sent this horse north in July where he won well at Rockhampton and then couldn’t finish off when favourite in the Mackay Newmarket (1300m), but he has been freshened and is back at a track he races well at. Drawn the inside alley, Angela Jones won’t have to do much at all aboard this horse, allowing him to jump, settle into a rhythm and then finish off two to their one. He looks better than them.

Best Value at Eagle Farm – Loveplanet

We will give Loveplanet another chance. The Chris Waller-trained gelding has been plain on face value in two Sydney metropolitan runs this time in but when you look a bit deeper into it, he’s been beaten by no fault of his own. First-up, when eighth behind Yukon, he got back to near last on the fence in a race where the leaders crawled in front and you had to be wide on the track. While at his latest outing, he drew wide on a day where you had to be on the fence. Now up in Queensland where Waller’s runners can be rejuvenated, he could get luck on his side. While he will be coming from a wide alley in gate 14, James Orman will have plenty of time to make his mind up from the 1400m start at Eagle Farm as to where he goes. The horse is good enough to be winning a race like this at this time of year in Brisbane.
