Another beautiful day beckons in Brisbane and it is the last Group 1 of the season at Eagle Farm in the Tatts Tiara.

I think there is some good value throughout the field today and like the following for those of you having a punt.

Race 1 Number 1 – Thefifthhole

Whilst drawn wide, I expect this horse to get across and lead.  It is a good front runner and I am concerned that the others in the field might have a bit too much to do towards the end of this race to catch it.  Raise Up is the obvious threat with the form out of its last race now looking pretty good.  Ultimately though I will stick with the frontrunner to get the cash in this.

Race 3 Number 1 – Skating on Ice

Simply, this horse is the class runner in the race.  Much like race one I think this horse will lead and win.  The main threat is Bianca Jewel.  That said, Skating on Ice is off a short back up and looks primed for this one.

Race 4 Number 8 Hoss Amor

This horse will start favourite and has had a change of jockey albeit I am not sure putting Chris Munce onto a horse could ever be considered a bad thing.  It has a bad gate as well.  I am on it this week have dropped of it for its last run and being punished in the hip pocket.  Probably a stupid reason I know, but I just have a feeling today could be another of those days one would be well advised to get on.

Race 7 Number 15 Shopaholic

This horse returns after a valiant effort in the Stradbroke that was crushed by the bad gate.  Gets a good barrier here and has Dwayne Dunn aboard.  Off that back of its impressive last start effort I can’t see anything else in this field beating it.

I hope you find some winners out of the foregoing today and have a great day whatever it is you are doing.
