Eagle Farm Tips May 7
Ladbrokes Calcutta & Luncheon 13 June Benchmark 68 Handicap Tips (Race 3)
Eagle Farm Best Bet - Race 3 No. 4 Chillaxing
The European import placed on his only start in Ireland and he registered top four finishes in his first two starts for trainer Tony Gollan.
The five-year-old broke through for his first victory when contesting an 1800m maiden at this venue in March.
Racing on a soft 7 surface the gelding came home just under half-a-length clear of his nearest rival with the second and seventh that day boosting the form in winning subsequently.
The son of Galileo appeared to appreciate the heavy 8 track and step up to 2020m when completing a double in taking out a Benchmark 68 handicap at Doomben on his most recent start.
The pick came home over five lengths clear of his seven rivals on that occasion and he shapes as if the extra distance he gets here will suit.
Martin Harley, on board last time out is again set to ride and his mount looks capable of completing a double.

Eagle Farm Next Best Bet - Race 4 No. 5 Eclair Encore
Kris Lees’ representative has been in good form without winning this prep registering three top three finishes at Newcastle.
The first of those saw him beaten just over one-and-a-half-lengths when placing third in a 1400m Class 1 handicap event.
The pick backed that effort up by finishing one place better when beaten just over a length stepped up to 1500m for a similar contest.
Both of those efforts came on a sound surface with the gelding racing on a wet track when stepped up to 1870m to place second in a Benchmark 64 handicap last time out.
The daughter of Maurice raced from the front despite rearing at the start on that occasion and the form of that event is working out well with the third home winning at Newcastle on Saturday.
The selection has the distance to suit and any softening of the going would be no issue with the three-year-old’s only previous victory having come on a heavy surface.

Eagle Farm Value Bet - Race 5 No. 6 Miss Chenery
The four-year-old demonstrated good form last prep registering five top two finishes from six outings.
The fillies’ sole unplaced effort that prep saw her finish eighth of eleven when contesting an 1800m event held on good going at this venue in December.
The pick backed that up with a narrow defeat when placing second back on a wet track in a 1666m Benchmark 70 handicap at Ipswich in early January.
The daughter of Justify was spelled following that effort and while she failed to make an impact first up this prep she was racing over 1400m, a distance short of her best that day.
The selection is expected to have improved for that effort with the 1600m distance and forecast soft 7 going here further positives.
Barrier eight shouldn’t pose any issues to Chris Waller’s filly given she is usually ridden from mid-divisions and she looks value to record a second up success.

Eagle Farm Favourite - Race 7 No. 2 Action King
The son of Harry Angel has shown a liking for wet tracks in the past including when winning by a length in a Benchmark 68 handicap at Gold Coast in January.
The selection raced over 1000m on that occasion and he went on to finish a close second stepped up to 1100m for an Ipswich Class 4 event the following month.
The four-year-old was given a break following that Ipswich effort and he returned to action over 1200m when contesting a Class 3 contest here last month.
The gelding was beaten just over three lengths over a distance that stretches his stamina and the shorter distance here is a positive.
The pick boasts an impressive three wins and two third place finishes from five starts over this distance.
While barrier ten isn’t ideal here the gelding has a good apprentice in Cody Collis, on board last time out up and he may prove up to surprising some better-fancied rivals.
