Port Lincoln tips and results

Our price $7.00 · SP $5.50 · Andrew Stead

Fairline was a creditable sixth last start after settling at the tail of a big field, and she looks to be improving. The risk is the map, as a moderate tempo and a track biased toward leaders do not favour backmarkers. She is a place chance with some upside, and has the gear changes and second-up run in her favour.

Makenzie finished a narrow second at Port Lincoln in March and has since placed in two jump-outs, a sign she is going well. She should be midfield on a light weight in a race with no standout.

Our price $5.00 · SP $6.50 · Polly Brewster

She carries the lightest weight from a good barrier. She needs to get handy from midfield, and stable and jockey records here are poor. The map and connections stop her from being the top pick.

Our price $8.00 · SP $12.00 · Connor Murtagh

He has been placed third in three consecutive jump-outs. The stable knows the track well, and the gear changes show purpose. He is a sensible value play.

Our price $4.80 · SP $10.00 · Rochelle Milnes

The best fit for the conditions. This gelding has a strong record at Port Lincoln, wins on Good ground and should settle close to the lead in a slow-run race at a track where the leaders dominate. His jockey knows him well, and he is dropping in grade.

Our price $13.00 · SP $21.00 · Polly Brewster

A speculative overlay. He is likely to get an easy lead in a slow-run race at a track where leaders win a lot, and he carries the least weight. The class rise and poor record on Good ground are real negatives, and he tends to tire when leading.

Our price $6.00 · SP $21.00 · Jade Doyle

Spiritual Gal is the most likely winner on form. She is the one proven Port Lincoln 1000m front-runner in the field, with a course-and-distance win and a series of strong runs there. Positional bias favours leaders, and her best runs have been close to the winning standard.

Our price $7.00 · SP $16.00 · Caitlin Tootell

Strawberry Swing is an on-pace type with a proven Port Lincoln sprint record and a good first-up record. She gets a handy trail behind the leaders and carries only 54kg.

Our price $7.00 · SP $7.50 · Polly Brewster

Shuttle Run is the pick of the overs. He has speed, a strong trial here and a good record at this track and distance.

Our price $3.60 · SP $4.80 · Caitlyn Munro

The most reliable form runner in the field. Power Primo is a course specialist who won this grade here and ran second in a stronger race next time. She is also in fine order after a barrier trial win.

Our price $6.00 · SP $8.50 · Murray Henderson

Top weight and 10 years old, but Sonny's Port Lincoln record is excellent and he drops in class from some very weak runs in town. He should lead, or be close to it, in a moderately run race, and he has won here at this level before.

Our price $7.00 · SP $9.50 · Connor Murtagh

A reliable placegetter who has run to a good standard at Bm66 and Bm70 level here. He tends to settle midfield or further back and finishes well, but the short Port Lincoln straight and moderate tempo may make that hard from barrier 10. Poor stable form is a worry. He is a sound place chance, but his win record is modest.

Our price $8.50 · SP $10.00 · Shuichi Terachi

His third at Port Augusta over 1200m was a solid effort, and he won the barrier trial here three weeks ago. He has the right profile for a place at least, and is a genuine each-way chance.

Our price $5.50 · SP $13.00 · Polly Brewster

Prescient has the most reliable form in a weak field. Barrier 11 is the concern, but a fast pace with two leaders should help a horse who can sit just off.

Our price $3.80 · SP $2.80 · Sophie Potter

It races at the tail of the field, and Port Lincoln sprints are rarely won from the back. A fast tempo and a good jockey give it a real chance of getting up.

Our price $10.00 · SP $11.00 · Jemma Gutte

The Ineos has the best weight in the race, a class drop, a handy gate, and a proven record at this track and distance. A recent winning jump-out shows he is fit.

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.50 · S H Sit

Sir Panama has a very good record at Port Lincoln and over 1350m, and has been running solid placings at this class. The map is kind, with only one genuine leader and a moderate tempo. The extreme outside gate is the main concern, but he can still find a position, and he is a clear place chance with winning claims.

Our price $6.50 · SP $4.60 · Brooke King

Dougal Mckeen is the improving type, having won last start with a good finish, and he has a fine distance record. The inside draw helps him find cover. Good ground is less ideal than the Soft he won on, and he must settle closer than he usually does.

Our price $7.50 · SP $9.00 · Caitlin Tootell

Toorak Blaze ran a good race over this track and trip when third in a Bm66, finishing past beaten horses. He drops in class and has a good record on Good ground.
