We enjoyed a winning day north of the Tweed last weekend with Double Impact doing it easily pretty early on in the program to give us a bit to play with.

Well the rain kept coming last weekend and Eagle Farm ended up as a pretty heavy track unsurprisingly, and that’s no fun for anyone.

There’s a little bit of rain around the south east of Queensland at the moment, so hopefully the Eagle Farm track doesn’t bottom out too much on Saturday.

The Peter Snowden-trained Knoydart looks well placed against the older horses today when he resumes from a spell in the Sharp Benchmark 75 Handicap (1200m) at Canterbury.

Connections of Carmine King will be hopeful their decision to scratch him from an ideal race at Rosehill tomorrow will pay off when the gelding contests Saturday’s Class 6 Plate on the Gold Coast.
