Vegas Outlaw clearly needed his first run back when fifth, beaten five lengths at Wyong, but I think he can have an impact in something like this.
The Casino Prince gelding has made only five appearances at the races since debuting, placing once, but almost every race that he has contested has been at provincial level, and getting back to the country really should be the key to him.
He’s drawn ideally today and might not be offered a better opportunity to win.
Headstart is ready to win when he takes his place in Race 4 at Port Macquarie today.
The Headwater gelding raced greenly on debut at Wyong and finished fifth last month, but closed off well to fill the minors here last time out.
Fitter third-up, this looks his opportunity to strike.
I’m sticking with Buck Pharoah in the fifth at Port Macquarie this afternoon.
He has been a great horse for the Godbolt yard since debuting, and Buck Pharoah has returned some typically smart performances this time in, only just missing at his last two.
His record here at Port Macquarie is excellent, and he gets some relief in the weights today under Madeline Owen.
Sukhbir is chasing a hat-trick when he steps out in Race 6 at Port Macquarie today, and I think that it looks another nice one for him.
The son of Super One broke his maiden here at Port Macquarie two starts back, and he led them up in BM58 company at Tuncurry last time, holding on for a tough win.
He’s another who steps out today in peak order and can make all of his own luck again on the speed.
