Our Eagle Farm Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
Fashchanel (Eagle Farm Race 9 No. 3)
This four-year-old I Am Invincible filly trained by John O’Shea has four wins and five places from 12 starts. She jumped awkwardly then fought on well to prevail in the later stages for a 0.4 length win 0ver 1400m at Kensington on 25 April, then won by 0.72 length over 1400m at Kensington on 19 May. She has a big drop in weight and should win again.

Each Way
So You Win (Eagle Farm Race 4 No. 11):
This six-year-old So You Think gelding trained by Chris Waller has placed at all three runs this campaign. He hit the front at the 250m and fought on for 1.25, 0.2 lengths 3rd over 1815m at Eagle Farm on 1 May, then came from well back to briefly hit the front before being run down in the final strides for 0.2 length 2nd in the Group 3 BRC Chairman’s Handicap over 2000m at Doomben on 15 May. He looks well-suited here and is a great each-way chance.

Le Don De Vie (Eagle Farm Race 5 No. 2):
This five-year-old gelding is the early favourite in the Group 3 BRC Premier’s Cup over 2400m. He led early before battling on for 4.55 lengths 7th in the Group 3 Easter Cup over 1200m at Caulfield on 3 April, then took the lead at the turn and kicked away for a 2.75 length win in the Listed Warrnambool Cup over 2350m on 6 May. This race will be tougher and I have rated others above him.
