The Golden Eagle is one of Australia's newest features but a high-class field bids for glory in the $10million race on Saturday, November 2.

A restricted 1500m race for four-year-olds that's run under set-weight conditions at Rosehill.

Originally a $7.5 million dollar race, The Golden Eagle has received two prizemoney increases, with an $8 million dollar announcement soon trumped by the $10 million total delivered in June 2022, and 10% of total prizemoney goes to nominated charities.

Ascoli Piceno heads the market for the 2024 Golden Eagle, but where does the value lie. Our verdict is below.

2024 Golden Eagle Tips

Best Bet - Ascoli Piceno

Japan's leading two-year-old filly in 2023 was unbeaten in three starts as a juvenile, which includes a Group 1 triumph in the Hanshin Juvenile Fillies when completing a hat-trick.

Ascoli Piceno brought up her fourth career win last start when successful on September 8 and that followed two runner-up finishes at Group 1 level to open the calendar year.

Behind a smart Jantar Mantar, she almost fell in the NHK Mile Cup two starts back when checked at a key stage and it was impressive that she picked up late after that.

Trainer Yoichi Kuroiwa isn't fazed by the wide barrier on Saturday and with the 'Magic Man' Joao Moreira in the saddle, Ascoli Piceno is a deserving fav in The Golden Eagle.

ext Best Bet - Lazzat

This unbeaten French raider made it six-from-six when breaking through at Group 1 level on August 4 and that victory was a comfortable one, with the gelding winning by three lengths.

The average winning margin across his six wins is over three lengths and the four-year-old has been successful on all surfaces, with his biggest wins coming rain affected tracks.

Lazzat has a very high cruising speed and a fair turn-of-foot, which is always a big advantage at Rosehill and all three anti-clockwise attempts have resulted in easy wins.

The overseas form behind him hasn't exactly stacked up in regards to subsequent winners being produced, however, he's been in a race of his own via most of those runs.

Value Bet - Port Lockroy

Raw ratings again don't read well for Port Lockroy in a set weights feature, however, he's clearly much more capable than his number reflects and he's building nicely.

Six furlongs proved a touch too sharp via a slashing return effort and while he wasn't quite as dynamic second-up, he did have to overcome trouble in that second-up tilt.

I'm confident that there's a nice race in Port Lockroy at some stage (looks a perfect Stradbroke horse) and a middle barrier for this third-up assignment is another positive.

The Neasham & Archibald-trained entire has X factor and with a clear look at them late from off the speed in a high pressure affair, he's worth an each-way ticket at a huge price.
