The first weekend of the Brisbane Winter Carnival beckons tomorrow at Eagle Farm. It is always easy to tell: I had to go to three different newsagents before I could pick up my best bets this week and I have been asked by a staff member for some tips before she heads to the track.

I have had a look at the form and here are my selections for the day at the Farm:

Race 1: I’m Cool (Number 10) each way.

Race 2: Hooked (Number 3)

Race 3: Purfectress (Number 5)

Race 4: Dusty Gold (Number 6) each way.

Race 5: Lucky Lucky Lucky (Number 9) each way.

Race 6: Quintessential (Number 3)

Race 7: Buffering (Number 1) Best Bet of the Day

Race 8: Mishani Warrior (Number 12) Bit of value in the last for the “Get Out Stakes”. each way.
