“If we can get black figures I’d be launching”: Chris Nelson's Wednesday best bets at Eagle Farm

Midweek racing at Eagle Farm this afternoon on a Good (4) rated surface. Forecast is for a partly cloudy day with a high of 29 degrees. First of 7 races get under way at 1.33pm local time which is an hour later for those in the daylight savings states.

BEST BET

RACE 2 # 8 STARSONUS

Ideally suited stepping up to 1400m this afternoon. Would have liked to have seen a better price, if we can get black figures I’d be launching.

AT VALUE

RACE 7 # 13 BLACK OPIUM

Only lightly raced she may need the run however on paper 1400m first up looks very suitable. Keep an eye on the market, should she drift we’ll save her for another day however if firm she’s well worth an each-way investment.

FROM THE TRIALS

RACE 3 # 10 PROVANCE

Placed first two starts before outclassed & finding the 1400m too far in the Sires behind Broadsiding. Loved his recent trial, went to the line under a strong hold.
