Brisbane Best: Eagle Farm – 4th March 2023

3 minute read

Last-start winner Namazu is a gelding in form and looks nicely placed to score again when he lines up at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

The O'Dea/Hoysted-trained five-year-old has rated well in his two starts since a spell, running on to place fresh in the Sunshine Coast Cup before at win over a mile at this course last start.

That was jockey Ben Thompson's first ride on him and he sticks.

Namazu is a two-time third-up winner so should still be on the up and further improvement would see him hard stop.

 

The last race of the day is a bit of lottery with a big field lining up but Rock Amore does look to offer decent each way value.

Tony Gollan's gelding has already won twice this campaign and his last-start second in this grade suggests he is holding his form well.

He does have to overcome a wide draw but his course and distance statistics suggest he can be in the finish.
