Golden Eagle 2022: preview and tips
Victoria took out last year's Golden Eagle with I'm Thunderstruck. Eight of the confirmed 20 runners are from stables down south. The Toorak Handicap has five runners presenting from the race. Chain of Lightning is one of favourites. Lady of Honour is also a contender. The winner is $71. Lightsaber is not. He has been running in lower class races. On Saturday he will be on an improving track. It's a good bet. His opponent is Lavish Girl. She has six wins from seven starts. Her only defeat was on a deteriorating track, but she's one the favourites for the Golden Eagles.
Cardinel Gem is the first emergency in the field for Golden Eagle 2022. Lavish Girl, Vilana, Mr Mozart, In The Congo, Overpass and Gypsy Goddess are the other horses in it. The distance of 1500 metres is a big test for In the Congo. Gypsies Goddess and Hinged are Chris Waller's mares. They are going to have to rely on luck to win. The weather is good. It's been raining at Rosehill. There will be heavy racing. This is not the best track. In InThe Congo was beaten by a 60-1 shot in Sydney Stakes first up. He's a Golden Rose winner and Galaxy placegetter with a lot of weight.
The Winners Stakes is the key support race on the Golden Eagle program. Five horses that ran in the Everest are here to take each other on again. Lost and Running was scratched from the big one on day of the race due to some lameness. Private Eye was second in Everest, with Mazu third. Eduardo won the last year's race. Masked Crusader is a betting proposition to give you final dollar on.
