Chris Nelson’s Eagle Farm Best Bets Posted on January 31, 2020January 31, 2020 | Posted by Chris Nelson Chris Nelson’s Best Bets RACE 2 No.3 Shalwa Tony Gollan trained mare who is the best placed runner at the entire meeting dropping back from three consecutive starts in Listed grade (placed once) to a Class 3 Plate where she should be carrying plenty more than the 55.5kg! Drawn the inside gate she’ll either lead, sit 2nd or trail, whichever way you look at the race she’ll get the right run. Simply just wins! RACE 7 No.9 Missed The Alarm Steve O’Dea trained mare resuming off a two-month break. She wound up her last prep with two wins from her final three starts at longer trips (1815 & 2200m) suggesting the mile here nice and fresh is going to suit her down to the ground. She’s quite well weighted after the claim over a pair of last start winners Slow Hands and The Kingdom. Watch for any positive market support. RACE 8 No.6 Manaya Resuming mare from the Michael Costa stable on the Gold Coast who’s had a couple of lead up trials with the latest being a very soft second in quick time. She could have won on that occasion and her first up form of late has been very good. She’ll be very hard to hold out nice and fresh. Quaddie 2, 5, 9 7, 8, 9, 13, 15 2, 6, 7 2, 7, 9, 10 Market Market
