Eagle Farm Racing Tips for Saturday, August 8th 2026Ended

We have expert betting tips for racing at Eagle Farm on Saturday, which includes nine races at the premier meeting.

Punters get good value odds for the Queensland meeting, and we have betting tips for every race on the card.  

Race 1. (11:38) Souths Sports Club BM70 (1815m)

#9 - Think Like Paddy @ $12.00

BET NOW

Think Like Paddy is nearing a win after two placings, including one at Eagle Farm last time out.

The five-year-old son of So You Think is in good hands with Matthew Dunn, and it shouldn’t take him much longer to win another race.

It’s an open field, so include him on an each-way basis.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (12:13) Become a BRC Member BM78 (2400m)

#3 - Trapalanda @ $3.90

BET NOW

Coming off a third placing at Randwick is Trapalanda, who should enjoy running in Queensland for the Archibald stable.

The six-year-old gelding owns two wins and nine placings from 18 starts, and his best form is good enough to put this field away.

He’s worth giving another chance at this level.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 3. (12:48) Country Music Raceday 0MW (1000m)

#8 - Everybody Rise @ $3.90

BET NOW

Everybody Rise made it four consecutive wins since arriving in Queensland, and he’s good enough to handle this class.

The former NSW runner won twice at Sunshine Coast before winning twice at Ipswich, and the son of Snitzel makes his own luck.

54kg is ideal, and he could lead throughout.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (13:23) The Droulers Chez Pockette Cup (1000m)

#4 - Boonie Boom @ $2.30

BET NOW

Punters will need to take short odds for Bonnie Boom, but she looked good when winning on debut at Eagle Farm.

The three-year-old filly by Spirit of Boom won by a length on debut at $4.40, so the odds are much shorter this time around.

The market confidence is telling, so include her in picks.   

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (13:58) Mekka Raceday 22 August BM72 (1200m)

#2 - Accapella Sun @ $15.00

BET NOW

Accapella Sun has yet to win or place in four attempts at Eagle Farm, but we’re giving her one more chance.

The Gollan-trained mare has stacks of experience, and she is a two-time winner second-up, so this is her ideal time to race.

There is no standout bet, so include her in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (14:33) Drinkwise 0MW (1400m)

#2 - Mean Approach @ $5.50

BET NOW

Seeking three consecutive wins is Mean Approach, who scored both wins at Eagle Farm when showing good toughness.

The six-year-old son of Lean Mean Machine won by a nose last time out, and that came after facing the breeze, so it was a gutsy effort.

He has every chance of keeping his winning form going.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (15:12) Sky Racing BM78 (1600m)

#1 - Livalittle @ $4.60

BET NOW

Livalittle showed good speed to beat a nice field at Eagle Farm last start, and there is no reason to jump off his back.

The five-year-old son of The Autumn Sun is a five-time winner from 12 starts, and he tends to sneak under the radar at times.

He’s fit after two runs, and he could keep winning races this season.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 8. (15:48) XXXX C6 Handicap (1200m)

#10 - Fragile Love @ $8.00

BET NOW

Seeking back-to-back wins is Fragile Love, who scored by a nose at Eagle Farm in a tough effort.

The six-year-old daughter of No Nay Never is a two-time winner at Eagle Farm, so she enjoys the track, and getting in with 53.5kg is ideal.

She can handle the rise in class, so include her in horse racing picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 9. (16:27) Ladbrokes Hosted Pots Handicap (1400m)

#11 - Express Payment @ $7.00

BET NOW

Express Payment has been all around the mark this season, including a second placing at Doomben last time out.

The six-year-old son of Rich Enuff is a seven-time winner overall and dropping to 52.5kg should be enough to take him close.

Include him in bets at nice odds.

Stake: 1 Unit
