Mitch Ebeyer • June 26th, 2025 7:26 pm

Huge night of racing ahead with heats of the Brisbane Cup (520m) and the Queensland Cup (710m). The best of the best to showcase the sport at one of the industries best tracks, Q2 Parklands. An earlier start tonight with the first to kick off at 6:23pm and the lucky last, race 11 scheduled for 10:07pm. All racing action will be covered on SEN Track 1593am from 6 to 10pm.
BEST BETS
R3 N1 ETHANOL WATER
Impressive first look at track and trip and finds a very weak heat. Comes up with the cherry where she has a strong record with 4 wins and 4 minors from 12 starts. Should get plenty of favours early with the 2 pushing wide and giving prime access to the rail. Class above on paper and expected to score!
R11 N4 SHAMROCK HAYZE
Fast beginner and strikes a field to lead and lead clearly. Love playing in races where TAGOVAILOA is apart of, yes he’s drawn well but lacks early toe. Expect Shamrock to step and burn, flew two back when run down by Whiskey Service in 29.74. Repeat of that he’s awfully hard to beat and loves the Q.
VALUE BETS
R5 N3 BOURNE MODEL
Gone to another level of late and scorched in a trial here recently. Drew wide two starts back and ran a big race and last week struck Tim Zoo, finds a lovely map here tonight and can utilise her early zip. Has a mad railer inside who is a class act and a slow beginner to her right. Big dangers the 2 and 8 but $6 is absurd for the draw and class.
R8 N2 DR ASHER
One of my favourite dogs and was impressive last start off a wide draw. Draws low tonight and can step clean when needed. Good record off the draw with 2 wins and 4 minors from 6 attempts and surely improves second look at the venue. Expect to drift and seems a lovely each way prospect!
