A good early trade - Sydney stayer Major Major should firm in markets later in the week
We're smack bang in the middle of Winter and Queensland's Carnival is coming to a close. Eagle Farm hosts the final Group One of the season, the 1,400 metre Tatt's Tiara for the mares. A race in which AZKADELLIA is looking for redemption after getting stuck in the worst ground two weeks ago.
Early markets are open and the betting has begun. Check out the CrownBet prices here and our early trades below.
Tatt's Club Tiara
BUY AZKADELLIA at $2.3
"She's drawn out wide which is key given the way the track played two weeks ago. Some cut in the turf and a below-par Group One is the perfect mix for another feature win"

W.J. Healy Stakes
SELL THAT'S A GOOD IDEA at $4.4
"There's some showers around in Brisbane and the Eagle Farm track was very shifty last week. This big sprinter likes a firmer surface so bet on others early."

Randwick Race 1
BUY KING'S TROOP at $5
"Gerald Ryan has been looking for the right race with this on-pace sprinter and he might have found it. Maps perfectly in the box seat and performs well off a freshen-up. Good early each-way."
Randwick Race 4
BUY MAJOR MAJOR at $31
"He's switched trainers a few times and the last campaign with Jim Litt simply didn't work. Going a lot better with Greg Hickman and he'll love the good tempo set up by ZATOPAZ. Will firm in the market."
Randwick Race 7
BUY LIKE XENA at $11
"She's a tough lean type much better suited at Randwick over 1,400 metres than her last start at Rosehill. The wide draw could be OK on the day and the early odds are tempting."
