Quick Analysis:

He kicked off his career well on debut, finishing second across 1,000m at Bairnsdale. The 1,200m he tackles now looks well-suited as well. Draws wide, but that should suit, especially with jockey Patrick Moloney sliding across to claim an ideal position. Will be fitter for that first-up run under his belt.

Quick Analysis:

Khant Fail is currently the favourite in Race 3 at Port Macquarie, but there’s still a little bit of value around her. She was finally able to break through for her first career win, and it was an impressive one at that, which was over the same track. Draws well, and now that she’s competing at non-metro grade, she’s the one they have to beat.

Quick Analysis:

With back-to-back second placings at this track, I think Garfield looks primed to chalk up a win here. He has been improving seemingly with each run, and he draws barrier one this time out. Looks like he brings a fitness edge into this one as well. Should be an easy watch.
