Port Macquarie Tips August 8
Weathertex Class 3 Handicap Tips (Race 3)
Port Macquarie Best Bet - Race 3 No. 2 Show 'Em Howl
With three runs under his belt and blinkers now applied, it's well and truly D-Day for Show 'Em Howl, who returns to his home circuit after being defeated as an odds-on fav at Taree.
He ran the fastest last 800m/600m/400m and 200m of his last assignment, so there was still merit to the performance and the gelding arrived there off a competitive run in a Saturday BM72 at Rosehill.
Show 'Em Howl arguably should've won a Randwick Highway on resumption, where he was held-up from the 400m to the 200m before flashing home in a race that's produced four subsequent winners.

Port Macquarie Next Best Bet - Race 7 No. 10 Oakfield Pluto
He was a hard one to gauge from the trials, but the market push on debut indicated that Oakfield Pluto had been showing plenty at home and those bets were landed via a comfortable victory at Taree.
While it was easy enough watch for his supporters, the four-year-old was still far from the finished product in that first race day appearance (green) and he's open to natural improvement at start two.
He's very well bred, with the half-brother to Winter Bride (triple Group 3 winner) being by Exceedance and out of Amberino (Group 2 winner), while gun hoop Aaron Bullock stays aboard for Friday's attempt.

Port Macquarie Value Bet - Race 8 No. 2 Bodgie
This Paul Perry-trained galloper is a useful wet tracker when right and while he was disappointing last time out at Scone, he's been freshened-up and his prior form reads quite well for this country BM66.
Bodgie was well beaten, although he still managed a third two starts back when in the market for a Gosford BM64 and the son of Epaulette was well supported prior to that when close up on a Heavy 10 at Wyong.
He doesn't win out of turn; however, this is the weakest race he's seen in a long time and any further track downgrades will bring Bodgie further into calculations (he's beaten a handy Pisanello on a Heavy 10).
