Gday All
its Port Cup day... and I am off to the races.. The Cup is a good little race as it always is... I am leaning towards the Cup's specialist Precise Timing.. even with 60 on his back... Believe it or not he is dropping 3.5 (not taking the allowance into account) from his last outing at Newcasstle where he ran a creditable 2nd, following his brilliant win on the same track on Newcastle Cup Day. He has gone around at Port twice for a win and a 2nd had 4 goes at the distance for a win and a placing and he has the added bonus of having young Zac on board...
Of the others He's Rocking was very impressive winning the prelude and needs to be considered... Plus it is the Graham/Prosser combo which is always a plus at Port, he has had 13 goes at port for 6 wins and 4 placing, this is his first time at the distance so that is neither a negative or a positive..
The old stager Serpentine should be there abouts.. look for him to figure at the finish... The 2 'invaders' from Sydney should attract plenty of attention from punters.. The Gerald Ryan trained Calorific only just beat the ambulance home in a Welter at Randwick a couple of weeks back but the start b4 won an open Handicap at Kembla.. likes to mix his form a bit.. and way down the bottom Rogerson has snuck Scottish Laird into the field.. it's last win was a Cl4 at Hawkesbury a month ago and then ran a place in a restricted Cl6 at Rosehill a couple of weeks ago... so is in my opinion up in class a fair way
All of these horses in my opinion have claims, but I am sticking with Precise Timing... I will be yelling him home from 100 with a crownie in hand
Now that I have given reasons for my choice watch em all fall over
Here are some others that may be worth consdering thru the day...
Good Luck if you choose to have a bet
