Chris Nelson’s Eagle Farm Best Bets

RACE 3 No.2 Pinnacle Star

Sunshine Coast trained galloper who just missed a win first up at Ipswich last month running on strongly from around midfield. He’s very effective when on the fresh side and will still be sharp enough here to take advantage of an inside draw. Effective on the surface he’s had the two tries chasing home Macewen on each occasion. That horse would start favourite in this race.


RACE 6 No.1 Ballistic Boy

Ideally placed in the Rough Habit tomorrow he’ll lap up the additional trip. So consistent of late he drove hard at Supergiant here a fortnight back to just miss on the line, one more stride and the race was his. He races well here on the surface which is all important and trainer Chris Anderson has always said he’d be better when stepping out to a longer trip.


RACE 7 No.10 Tick Tock Boom

Going for one at big odds in the Group 1 J.J. Atkins which will be a cracking race with so many quality 2yo’s engaged. This Spirit Of Boom colt caught my eye in the Ken Russell at the Gold Coast running on from a mile back before given an easy kill on his home track a week ago scoring with plenty in reserve. Strong late, he could well surprise.
