Eagle Farm Tips August 2

Sky Racing BM70 Handicap Tips (Race 4)

Eagle Farm Value Bet - Race 4 No. 11 Larusso

There was an Ipswich Class 3 for the taking on Thursday, but I don't mind this decision from Jack Bruce, who steps Larusso up to 1810m, with the extra trip and bigger track both positives here.

The son of So You Think first caught the eye with a slashing debut win early last season, where he sustained a wide run from back in the field and the gelding was tipped out after that success.

He appears dourer in his second campaign, with the highlight coming second-up at Doomben before being set a big task third-up and he's lightly raced type with upside.

Eagle Farm Best Bet - Race 5 No. 1 Tuff Tu Mus

The unknown is the 1815m distance, however, Tuff Tu Mus hasn't pulled up in two wins from as many tries at 1600m-1650m and he's carried 60kg in both of those victories.

This David Vandyke-trained galloper is aiming for his seventh win in a row on Saturday and being only fourth-up in what's been a spaced out campaign, he can at least hold his current form here.

Tuff Tu Mus gave a useful Cranky Harry 3kg when saluting on July 12, while his two main threats here are Chica Mojito (her sole win was nearly two years ago) and Zaphod (plain in three starts since a good return).

U&U Recruitment QTIS 3yo Handicap Tips (Race 6)

Eagle Farm Next Best Bet - Race 6 No. 9 Vivika

She was runner-up behind Sunrays on debut via the QTIS Jewel Prelude and that form really stands out, as Sunrays has won five from six overall and that includes two Listed races.

Vivika was spelled after that February 22 performance and off two strong winter trials, the daughter of Exceedance got a first-up kill when taking out a 1000m maiden on Ramornie Handicap Day.

This early three-year-old event looks a very winnable metro assignment for Vivika, who should handle the distance rise second-up and she draws softer than her two main threats in the market.

Eva Air Open Handicap Tips (Race 8)

Eagle Farm Roughie - Race 8 No. 6 Deepour

This sprinter hasn't been able to find the touch that he was in early under Adam Campton, but there's still been some competitive efforts in decent company and July 15 trial was encouraging.

Deepour is back under the care of Campton after a four-run Victorian campaign under Nick Ryan over spring and early summer last season, where his form was mixed.

While he was won over 1100m-1200m, fresh at 1000m is good set up and with a soft run in transit behind what's predicted to be a fast speed, Deepour could be dangerous late.
