Brisbane Best: Eagle Farm - 3rd January 2026
Black-type racing rolls on at Eagle Farm this Saturday with the running of the $300,000 Group 3 Vo Rogue Plate and the $200,000 Listed Nudgee Stakes and $300,000 Buffering supporting the undercard.
Our best bet of the day comes up early in the piece in the form of the Kristen Buchanan-prepared Tambeloa in race two.
This son of Tagaloa just missed the placings in the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes at Randwick three back when at cricket score odds, and has been right there in both subsequent runs at Rosehill and Eagle Farm.
The step-up to the 1 5⁄16 m looks ideal now and he strikes a small field with gun hoop Craig Williams steering. He might prove too classy for these.
Our value plays lands on another Williams mount in the Buffering with Zaszou looking to break through for her first win this campaign.
Appears to be well-weighted against some of these old boys and will appreciate the seven-furlong journey at this stage of the preparation.
Currently shopping around the $9 quote and a 1W x 3P type wager could yield some dividends.
