It's Super Saturday so there's no need for me to bang on about the top racing we have ahead of us. Let's get straight into it!
Eagle Farm
Race 1 - This race features 13 two year old fillies where only 2 of them have had a race start. I generally don't like getting too involved in these races. We have a nice one involved here that interests me in Global Dream (4). This filly looked excellent winning a trial by 4 lengths and appeared to have quite a bit left in the tank. She's from the very much in form Tony Gollan stable. Other hopes to Grandkids Rock (5), Pretty Strong (11) and Nada To Prada (8).
Race 2 - It's the 2 year old lads turn here. Again I've been drawn to a Tony Gollan trained horse. Whiskey Allround (1) won his 1st start by 8.5 lengths at Toowoomba. Although the quality of opposition would need to be questioned, a horse still has to get it done and to win by such a margin is impressive. He has trained on from that effort. Other hopes to Oosthuizen (10), Mishani Gladiator (9) and Handled (6).
Race 3 - I won't be getting carried away here because as you well know, I hate these 2000m+ races in Brisbane. I'm going to have a small wager on Attica (4). This horse has been racing in excellent fashion, winning his last 3 races. All have been over this distance. He will race with just 51kg after the claim for Tegan Harrison who has ridden the horse twice for 2 wins. Other hopes to Grey Assignment (2), They Won't Last (5) and Rothera (1).
***They Won't Last and Rothera have been scratched. I won't replace them as there's now only 4 racing. Straight out 1st 4 would be 4, 2, 3, 6***
Race 4 - Reflectance (2) has put together 2 very nice runs this time in. He was narrowly beaten by Better Than Ready 1st up and then turned the tables 2nd up. That form has been franked this past Monday. The way he finished off 2nd up gives me confidence that the 1400m will pose no problems. Other hopes to Exogram (4), Platinum State (1) and Grayson Square (3).
Race 5 - Marked (8) put in an eye catcher 1st up when he finished strongly to run 3rd to the flyer Someday over 1350m. Steps up to 1600m here with a good 2nd up record in the bag. This horse has a liking for the track with 2 wins, a 2nd and 3rd from 6 starts. He appreciates a firm surface and will be running on at the end. Other hopes to Onetimeatbandcamp (7), War Ends (4) and Hour Of Peril (3).
Race 6 - Fillydelphia (1) is clearly the class runner here and should be too strong 1st up. She has a perfect 1 from 1 record at this track and distance and has won 3 from 5 over the trip. Her trackwork this week was good and I feel she is primed for a 1st up assault. Other hopes to Whateverwhenever (5), Jet Style (7) and Joints Chiefs (4).
Race 7 - Cuddlesome (5) is a horse that is very much in form. She's won her last 4 starts and looks to still have improvement left in her. Brad Stewart steers her here and has built up a good understanding with the horse winning all 3 starts he's ridden her. She has won all 3 times she's raced at the track. She will race up on the speed and be very hard to catch. Other hopes to Koranovsky (4), Hidden Kisses (1) and Bang On (2).
Race 8 - Bribie (7) should have a better record than he has with so many close 2nds. Last start he lumped 59kg to go down by a nose to Run Royal Run over 1350m. He's up in grade here but he drops significantly in weight to 54.5kg. Wiggins should be able to give the horse an excellent run from the good gate. Although he's never won at the track he does have 3 2nds and 2 3rds here from 7 starts which suggests he does like it. He put in some excellent work during the week and I'm sure he's primed to put in a big showing. Other hopes to Gunner Knox (4), Empress Me (9) and Hampden (5).
Race 9 - Jabiru Dreaming (2) was a horse who came to Brisbane with a tremendous winning record in the North. To be honest, I was a little wary of how that would stand up here. Well he certainly showed me when he ran well 1st up after a few months off behind some nice types including Too Many Reds. He's now with a winning trainer and I think he'll really go on now. His work during the week was excellent. Other hopes to Rapid Leica Dane (5), Ticket To Dream (6) and Requested (4).
