Port Macquarie races Friday tips and full preview

Edge Of Reward is the favourite at Port Macquarie on Friday. He has a strong starting price profile and a dominant ratings profile. Tiva Bay is a threat. Kris Lees-trained galloper Darpano is proven on rain-affected ground. Scotland is rock-hard fit and repeating his last-start effort can put him in the finish. Star Of Yamba returns to her home track and can have the last shot.

Golden Breeze is a value at Port Macquarie. Cenotes tried hard last start at Grafton and is ready to peak third-up. Elite Quality comes through the same race as Golden Breeza.

Jacenza won last start at Tamworth. Albi Dot Com and Pendleton are dangerous. Paradise Island has trialled well.

Sharp Rock won his debut at Scone 14 days ago. Ghost Hunter sat outside the leader at a solid pace and battled on well. Ilovethegame can bounce back with a favourable map and is on a 10-day backup.

Charmmebaby is the favourite for Friday's race at Port Macquarie. She will carry 62kg and she should be able to cope with the conditions. Saquon is a big improver back up to 1200m and is an outside chance.

Olympic Gaze was outpaced up when the tempo quickened first-up at Canterbury and tried hard in defeat. Hit The Target had all favours last time and won easily.

Import 3 Quality Time is in career-best form and on an upwards ratings spiral this preparation. He won last start at Rosehill. The other two horses are Caboche and Rousseau. Our Candidate resumes after two trials. He is a consistent type and can sprint fresh.

Mussenphere resumes and is suited over further. Forgive 2 is a danger. Zoom Outcome pulled up lame last start. Sharkim is coming off a dominant maiden win. Crowned Empress is an exotic.
