GOING: S(6)

WIN NETWORK PORT MACQUARIE CUP PRELUDE 1800m Track: SOFT 6 Rain (Max: 19) Rail: True.
Prime Impact will go forward from wider out, Seething Chuck has some pace and Tornado Light might be handy. PRIME IMPACT (2) tried hard from on the speed at Kempsey last time and boxed on strongly. Goes forward again and should be in the finish. FIOPROSPERO (5) won at Newcastle three runs back and has been thereabouts since. One of the main chances. OUR BAMBINO (1) has returned in excellent form with a second-up win at Coffs Harbour and the extra trip is only in his favour. Go well. BETTER EXPLAIN (7) and DECLUTTER (11) are each-way hopes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prime Impact to win.
