G'day Guys,

I reckon I'll only have a couple of bets at Eagle Farm today.

In the 5th, Bikkie Tin Blues looks the obvious winner, but his price is far too short for me. I'll have a value bet on Harbour Magic. It ran 2nd in it's only race of 1800m. Forrester will be trying hard to beat Radenker on Mitanni after coming 2nd to them last start. I think 1800m will be just a bit too far for Mitanni. Adavale Hornet has a good record over the distance, but Mitanni and Harbour Magic beat it comfortably last start over 1630m. Might have Bikkie Tin Blues and Harbour Magic in an exacta.

In the 8th, Chasin' Tail's only win at the 1200m came at Eagle Farm, and it will be carrying 2.5kg less than it's last start (after apprentcie claims). I think it's best chance on winning is to either lead from the start or be very handy, and it will have a good chance, as it's drawn the 2nd barrier. Rasmussen is the main danger. It managed to win from the wide barrier last start, and draws similarly again today. It will be Rasmussen's race to lose, but like Bikkie Tin Blues, it will be priced too short for me to bet. I'll just stick with a value bet on Chasin' Tail.

Good luck at Eagle Farm today.
