On Wednesday, the racing continues with some expected quality races at Eagle Farm and Mornington. Termagant has caught my eye in Race 4 at Eagle Farm. Also, for my roughie bet, I've got my eye on Expeetee in Race 6 at Mornington. The track conditions at Eagle Farm are looking good for racing. Let's get into the free Australian horse racing tips!

Best Tip: Termagant #9 Eagle Farm R4

The trip should suit Termagant, it has been good before over this distance. She has 3 wins in 4 starts over 1000m already. It looks like the track will be a bit wet, however this runner has shown that it should not matter too much. She usually loves soft tracks. Damian Lane is on board for the first time and his experience in the saddle should be valuable. Good odds to have a crack at the win.

Best Roughie: Expeetee #10 Mornington R6

Expeetee is racing well this prep and could win this. She comes a solid run at Seymour and previously finished 2nd at Bendigo and 1st at Benalla (first-up). I like the look of her fourth-up record, she’s 1-1-0 in just 2 starts. So she loves getting in a few runs and that should see her at peak fitness on Wednesday. The 2000m trip should suit her nicely as well. She’s placed a few times at this distance.

Stats and Insights

  • Eagle Farm has little barrier bias as the track has quite even wide turns and as such it is good to look for promising backmarkers for the long straight. Mornington is a testing track that is short but sharp, it has an uphill 200m straight. Runners need to be close before the turn to account for this.
  • R4 Eagle Farm - Termagant has won 50% of her career starts. In her career, Termagant has placed in 80% of races as well.
  • R6 Mornington - Expeetee holds a career win percentage of 16.67% and she holds a career place percentage of 58.33%.
