The weight-for-age event features Darren Weir’s Iron Horse Black Heart Bart who backs up following a luckless outing in The Goodwood at Morphettville last Saturday.

Black Heart Bart is a $3.50 favourite for the event.

The promising Derryn ($6.00) and Counterattack $7.00 each contest the event off last start placings.

They are split in the market by Clearly Innocent ($6.50) who heads to Queensland off a last start win in the Luskin Star Stakes at Scone.

The Kingsford Smith Cup is a deep race with Music Magnate, Jungle Edge and Under The Louvre all potential value plays at double figure odds.

Shocking Luck

It features a battle for favouritism between dual Group 1 winner Prized Icon and another New Zealander in Shocking Luck.

Black On Gold ($7.50) and Volatile Mix ($10.00) profile as solid each way chances as they head up the highway both off last start wins interstate.

Racing for the day at Eagle Farm concludes with the Group 3 Fred Best Classic (1400m).

It will likely possess a capacity 18 horse field, all of which look set to run at each way odds.

Good Standing ($6.50) appeals off a last start win while Heroic Valour ($6.00) and Tessera ($7.00) also warrant thought off their respective last start placings.

Darley Kingsford-Smith Cup (G1)

Age: 3yo and up Type: OPEN

Clearly Innocent, a very good winner of the Luskin Star Stakes (Listed, 1300m) at Scone at his second run this preparation for new trainer Kris Lees was even more impressive in winning here, his first victory at Group One level. He settled back in third last place in the 13-horse field, behind a good pace, improved (wide with cover) from the 700m, got to fourth at the 300m, took the lead at the 100m and went on to score a very smart win, handling the conditions well. Noted wet-tracker Jungle Edge went to the front, claimed what looked a winning break on turning for home and was only headed at the 100m to finish second after running a bold race. Counterattack raced back in tenth place, improved (wide with cover) from the 700m, went to third at the 200m and held on nicely for a good third. Impending was seventh on the rails, got through on the inner at the home turn and battled on for (8.1 lengths) fourth. The favourite Black Heart Bart settled in second last place in the 13-horse field, commenced a move nearing the home turn and kept steadily making ground (under riding) in the straight to finish (9.1 lengths) fifth, without looking dangerous at any stage on the affected track.
