Verdict

NOT MY PROBLEM (7) was beaten as favourite at Port Macquarie third-up on a heavy track but not by far and she wouldn't have to improve a lot to go very close. WING NUT (5) is another not far off a win after abnother placing at this track. Up to a mile and has to be considered. THE BENTLEY (2) has placed in five of 10 and gave a good sight when leading and holding third last time. Yet to see a heavy track and that's the query. MR CROWNING MOMENT (4) has an each-way chance and FIGHTING DANCER (11) is a place hope.
