Eagle Farm June 24th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Eagle Farm Race 7
16
Opal Ridge $3.50
Opal Ridge gets her chance to taste Group 1 glory!
The Rubick filly narrowly missed out on a start in The Stradbroke Handicap, and she arguably would have featured in the concluding stages of the time-honoured event.
From barrier six, she can sit midfield with cover, and if she sees daylight on straightening, she will storm home like a freight train.
Her career record is near faultless, and she looks to have the wood on her opponents.
This is her race to lose!
Foxy Frida is too consistent to dismiss.
The Foxwedge mare is flying this campaign, and it would take a brave soul to rule a line through her for Saturday.
She was gallant in defeat at Group 1 level at Morphettville, and the rest of her preparation has been simply stunning.
Barrier twenty is her biggest obstacle.

2
Prince Of Boom $3.00
Prince Of Boom will lead them a merry dance.
The Spirit Of Boom gelding put his rivals to the sword a long way from home at his latest outing, and a similar performance could be on the cards Saturday.
From barrier sixteen, he will jump positively and take up his favourite position as race leader, and if he can dictate the tempo throughout, the rest of the field will be competing for minor placings.
His record at the distance is exceptional, and the flood of money for the Robert Heathcote trained four-year-old will continue until the barriers fly open.
The Big Goodbye looks like the biggest threat to the favourite.
From barrier four, he can box seat behind the hot speed, and if the leaders leave the kettle on during the race’s early stages, he can capitalise late.
He needs to convert his honest performances into victories!
Best Roughie - Eagle Farm Race 4
1
Moscini $19.00/$5.50
Moscini has been crunched at cricket score odds in early betting.
The Mossman gelding has been good without winning at his latest outings, and he looks well placed dropping down in grade, meeting easier opposition.
Earlier in the campaign, the rising eight-year-old put four wins together on the country and provincial circuits, and he looks like the class runner in this year’s edition of the Battle Of The Bush.
Barrier fourteen and the allocated weight are among the primary concerns.
Isis Carmella will start favourite after an impressive last-start victory at Bowen.
The Bel Esprit mare has a massive engine, and her turn of foot is sizzling.
If she can find cover from the awkward barrier, she can make her presence felt late.
Her winning record is the biggest deterrent.
QUADDIE
Q
$68 for 100%
Thalassophile and Pretty Amazing look to have the opening leg of the quaddie, the Tatt’s Gold Crown, between them.
Both are ready to produce a peak performance for the preparation, which is reflected in the market.
Opal Ridge can look after the punters in the feature event of the day, the Group 1 Tattersall’s Tiara, while Prince Of Boom and The Big Goodbye look ominous in the penultimate event, the W.J. Healy Stakes.
Nothing would surprise in the lucky last!
Leg 1: 1, 2
