Country racing heads to Port Macquarie on Sunday afternoon, with a quickfire seven-race program lined up on the mid-north coast of NSW. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and with pristine summer conditions predicted across the weekend, punters can anticipate a Good 4 surface. The opening race is scheduled to get underway at 1:40pm local time.
Best Bet at Port Macquarie: Rockbarton Flash
Rockbarton Flash only found one better in the form of Tasoraay at Newcastle on December 19. The son of Sooboog took forever to wind-up on that occasion, putting in the big strides when it was all over at the end of 1350m. Stepping up to the 1500m should be ideal, and with barrier three allowing William Stanley to land in the one-one throughout, Rockbarton Flash will prove hard to hold out as he vindicates favouritism with horse racing bookmakers.
Best Bet
Race 2 – 
#9 Rockbarton Flash (3)
3yo Gelding | T: David Atkins | J: William Stanley (a3kg) (57.5kg)

Next Best at Port Macquarie: Formal
The Nathan Doyle-trained Formal returns after a 143-day spell and appears primed for a first-up assault. The Exceed And Excel gelding caught the eye saluting in a recent barrier trial at Newcastle on December 4, making every post a winner to bolt clear by a half-length. Punters can expect similar tactics on resumption, and provided Benjamin Osmond can tick-over a soft sectional in the middle stages, watch for Formal to give a bold kick when they turn for home.
Next Best
Race 1 – 
#3 Formal (3)
3yo Gelding | T: Nathan Doyle | J: Benjamin Osmond (a2kg) (57kg)

Best Value at Port Macquarie: Jack Duggan
Although Jack Duggan was beaten as a well-supported favourite with Picklebet at Newcastle on December 19, the Jason Deamer-trained gelding gets a terrific opportunity to make amends. The son of Jack Milton was held-up at a crucial stage when the whips were cracking, with the six-year-old only managing to get clear in the final furlong. Ashley Morgan gets a chance to take closer order from stall four, and with even luck this time around, expect Jack Duggan to figure at the each-way price.
Best Value
Race 4 – 
#6 Jack Duggan (4)
6yo Gelding | T: Jason Deamer | J: Ashley Morgan (57.5kg)
+700 with Picklebet
