Quick Analysis:

I reckon Atomic Time can break his maiden here, and it seems like the market has faith in him as well, putting him down as the current favourite. He has already placed here at Ipswich, and last time out, he finished third at Sunshine Coast, just 0.56L off the leader. Ben Thompson takes over in the saddle, and he’ll have options from barrier eight.

Quick Analysis:

While I think the favourite, Macedon Rose, has a good chance of winning this, Handy Friend presents more value at place odds, so I’ll be on him for the last today at Seymour. The gelding draws wide but showed promise last time out at Kyneton, finishing third. Will Gordon retains the ride, and the pair have one win and one third placing in three attempts.

Port Macquarie - Race 7, 5:30 PM

Top Pick: 

5. Shotgun Bella

Recommended Bet Type:

Best Odds Available:

$1.80 with PlayUp

Quick Analysis:

Yes, the $1.80 that’s currently on offer for Shotgun Bella doesn’t exactly scream value, but it’s really hard for me to make a case for any of her opponents. She draws barrier one, so she won’t have to do any work. Compared to her previous results and competition, I think this is the kind of race she’ll win easily.

    Myriad resumes after 30 weeks and has trialled well in readiness for this return. Looks ready to go bang fresh in Race 2 at Port Macquarie.

    Swag placed when fresh at metro level and now drops to an easier non-metro grade. He looks well placed to break through in Race 5 at Ipswich.
  • tip
    Eternal Darkness ran on well for fourth when first-up at Seymour and boasts a Moonee Valley win second-up last prep. Well placed to peak in Race 5 at Seymour.
