Red-Letter Day For The Vowels In Queensland Derby At Eagle Farm On Saturday: Toby Edmonds

There’s two big Group 1 races at Eagle Farm this weekend and premier Queensland trainer Toby Edmonds saddles-up two top chances in the Queensland Derby and Kingsford Smith Cup.

The stable’s best bet is in the Derby where a 3YO star is a huge each-way chance at good odds.

The Vowels ($13.00, $3.30)

I’m very confident that The Vowels ($14.00, $3.50) can run really well in the Derby.

I think he’s one of the top 4 in the market but because of his pedigree, I’m pretty confident he won’t firm up too much.

You don’t often win these big Group 1s with a setback, my horse has had no setback, he’s very fit, solid, ready to go.

I’m very confident my horse is in tip top order and can run super.

Tip: Each-Way

Value Bet

Eagle Farm (Saturday)

Race 8, 1300m

Kingsford Smith Cup

Alpine Edge ($61.00, $16.00)

Alpine Edge ($61.00, $16.00) is also a great each-way chance, he’ll be reasonable odds but he’s drawn terrible in barrier 17 but Ryan Maloney rides this week.

He should get a nice trouble-free run and he’s obviously not going to be stuck inside because of his poor draw.

He’s going to get a clear run in the straight and should run on strongly.

We did win a Stradbroke from 21 so this horse here drawing wide isn’t that big a deal.

Just would have loved to have drawn a tad soft, so we didn’t have to be concerned about trying to find the right kind of horse to get on the back of.

Tip: Each-Way
