Queensland Oaks Eagle Farm Race 7
Very open race this year with the market headed by the NZ Oaks winner Miss Artistic ($5.50). Quinitessential ($5.50) was beaten by Miss Artistic in that race, but has since settled well and was eye catching last start. Dowager Queen ($11.00) has been well supported at nice odds, and was runner up in the VRC Oaks behind Mosheen. Others to consider include Angel of Mercy ($6.50) who has class, Scorpio Queen ($8.00) who'd appreciate a wet track and Poste Restante ($11.00) who ran a nice 3rd behind Brambles last start.
Eagle Farm Race 2
Even race with a few chances. The unsettled weather expected may throw up some surprises. Firebolt ($5.50) is awkwardly drawn but is a winner at Group 3 level 12 months ago and looks well placed at this level. Dusty Star ($7.00) has the pace to lead or sit second from the front and the race looks run to suit him. St Germaine ($5.00) was a close up 4th last start when second up and strips fitter now so can be expected to be very competitive. French horse Miss Crissy ($6.50) is the ex-factor at first run for Darren Weir, she handles all conditions and is a big betting watch.
