Eagle Farm Tips & Preview – Saturday, August 8

• Craig Sheppard
Eagle Farm betting tips are on the table this Saturday, with nine races to work through. The track conditions look fair, with the surface rated a Soft 5 and fine weather forecast. The rail moves out 3m, which should give punters a solid setup to assess. Still, Eagle Farm can make horses work. Runners may struggle if they cover ground or settle too far back. That puts extra focus on the speed map and early positioning. Our race analysis looks at the key runners, main winning chances and best betting opportunities. Punters should also monitor scratchings and any early track…

Fire up your Thursday punting with our Ballarat best bets, highlighting the key runners to help you continue the week the right way! Ballarat: Race 1 – Maiden Plate (1400m)   No. 4 Rising Top Nine  RISING TOP NINE (4) should find this a touch easier after going around at the midweeks in both starts this campaign.  He was far from disgraced running sixth at Sandown last start and it’s worth keeping in mind he was up sharply to 1400m after debuting over 1100m at Pakenham the run prior.   Drawn a soft gate with John Allen getting a crack in the saddle now, he should be much better…

Which AFL Team Can Actually Win the Flag?

• GuyWhoLikesSport
This is a very strange year in the AFL.   It’s like the Oppenheimer Oscars where everything seems to be pointing in one direction more because of the relative quality of the field compared to the overall quality of the leader (I will die on the hill that Oppenheimer wasn’t that good. Marty Supreme was better).   Fremantle is a $3.00 favourite with Neds and are three games clear on top of the ladder. Next is Brisbane, who just copped 25 goals against a Carlton team that’s about to get forced into hiring its interim, at $5.40.  It feels like other that Fremantle, the entire competition is somewhere between okay and terrible.…

West Coast Eagles take on Collingwood at Optus Stadium this Sunday. Here’s everything you need to know before you bet. West Coast Eagles vs Collingwood Sunday 9th August 2026 4:10 PM (Optus Stadium) The Pies head west with a few questions to answer on Sunday after a slow start saw them on the back foot early last week against the Cats.   Craig McRae’s side had no answers for Ollie Dempsey and Oliver Henry in the 25-point loss, and it will be fascinating to see what the Pies coach chooses to do on selection Thursday with a favourable game in hand against an…

Redrafting the 2024 Draft

Redrafting the 2024 Draft

• GuyWhoLikesSport
Just two years after a “legacy” draft, where Richmond had four picks in the top 15 including the first overall pick, the Tigers are 2-17 and below an Essendon team in the middle of an identity crisis that Steve Carell in Crazy Stupid Love would be embarrassed by. Poor skill execution is dearly hurting Richmond, according to head coach Adem Yze.https://t.co/nNywSM4uAF— AFL (@AFL) July 26, 2026 With the senior pillars of the club fading, in particular Nathan Broad, the young players taken highly in the 2024 draft either aren’t playing or aren’t stepping up.
