Eagle Farm Race 3 - Sky Racing Hcp (C3)
CHAMPAGNE LANE (6) is a genuine danger after storming home up the fence first-up at the Gold Coast. Tackled Listed company before the break and was far from disgraced. Suspect she's got plenty more to offer second-up. DR FARTHING (5) should be hitting his straps now after two solid 1000m efforts to kickoff the prep. Was well-backed last time at Toowoomba but came up just short. Thompson sticking is a big push. DARK ARTS (4) was better than the bare fifth last week after covering ground here and has the track-and-trip win on the board. Drawn to be doing his best work late again. PUFF 'N' HARRY (1) drops back in trip off 59 days in between runs and gets an important 3kg claim. His best is up to this.

Returns from a two-month break after a solid third in Class 5 grade at this track, beaten just under a length by Gorbachev after tracking the speed and working home evenly. He had earlier been well-supported favourite in a Benchmark 70 here and was not disgraced. The 3kg claim helps under 60kg, though coming back to 1200m is the main query. The 1200m is the query, but he is in the mix for a placing.

Was better than fifth last start at this track, beaten a length and a half in Benchmark 70 grade after settling rearward and racing wide throughout. He had also been close enough at Gold Coast two back, and his record at this venue and distance is a genuine asset. A strong winning hope.

Peaks third-up after two solid 1000m runs, the latest a fourth in Benchmark 70 grade at Toowoomba when well-supported favourite and beaten just over a length after early contact. He was wide throughout at this venue first-up yet still finished close. Proven at this track and clearly the one to beat.

Resumed in fine style at Gold Coast, coming from a long way back to win a Class 2 by just under a length from Col Burn as well-supported favourite. Her previous campaign included a midfield Listed Queensland Day Stakes run at this venue, beaten just under three lengths at long odds. Handles wet ground and looks a major danger again.

Won a Class 1 at this track over 1000m last start, getting there by a neck from Olivoni after settling rearward on soft ground. That followed a sound third at Ipswich in Benchmark 68 company, so her form is honest. Suspect this may be a tad too rich.

Could not quicken when ninth in Benchmark 80 grade at Toowoomba last start, beaten four lengths at generous odds despite being close enough on the turn. Her third there two back was sound enough, but she was still beaten three lengths and has yet to place from four starts at this track. Happy to miss.

Closed nicely for second in FM Benchmark 65 grade at this track last start, beaten a length and a half after beginning slowly and racing keenly early. She had also finished off strongly here two back after covering ground. Soft ground is the question, but she has place claims.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending her last campaign second last in the G3 Gunsynd Classic at this track, beaten over 14 lengths at big odds. She won a Deagon trial two weeks ago, which at least points to some readiness, but her wet-track and 1200m records are both poor. She will have to show a significant turnaround to feature. Unlikely to threaten.

Went very close at Sunshine Coast last start, finishing second to Vin Santo in Benchmark 65 grade and beaten a head at generous odds. That was a clear lift on her Ipswich eighth two back, but she now meets a deeper Class 3 field and has been unplaced in two runs at this venue. A repeat can be competitive, though the winning case is limited. Others appeal more.
