Our 2024 Winter Carnival kicks off at Eagle Farm this afternoon with the running of the Group 2 Queensland Guineas & Victory Skates. Track posted a Good (4) this morning, little shower activity around however definitely nothing of any note likely. First of 9 races set to go at 11.28am.
BEST BETS
RACE 3 # 3 TYPHOON TAAVI
Very speedy mare from the Tony Gollan stable who is going for the hat trick of wins tomorrow. Her last couple have been in midweek grade at Doomben suggesting she does have to step it up a notch however the manner of those wins suggests she’s well up to the task. She’ll cross, show all her natural speed & take a ton of running down.
RACE 6 # 3 EMBASSY
Lightly raced 2yo from the Team Snowden yard back off a short break. Terrific on debut behind Castanya at Randwick he then went around in the Silver Slipper clocking in 4th after a tardy getaway. He’s had two lead-up trials in preparation for today’s return winning both. Drawn ideally he can park off the likely strong tempo before cutting loose in the straight.
BEST VALUE
RACE 7 # 10 WARBY
He’s well in the market however it’s such a wide-open affair each-way odds are available. So consistent last prep his worst run was his last & that was quite solid making ground from an impossible position back in the field. Yes, he will again give a start this afternoon however nice & fresh with a very impressive trial under the belt he can reel in the leaders late.
