GOING: G

HORSE QUEENED FOR HEALTHY HORSES PACE (4TH HEAT) 1790m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 15)    

LINCOLNS DREAM (9) resumes from a spell of 15 months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at her last appearance over 1610m at Broken Hill. Not drawn to best so may need a 10/10 drive but will have plenty of admirers while fresh. CHEERS POVERTY (6) was in the money two runs ago then went well again last time over 2190m at this track, finishing 3.5 metres from the winner in second. Leading hope based on those recent efforts. MARIAHS SHADOW (8) finished second last start over 2190m at this circuit. Generally runs very well here so can play a big role. PUNTO CALIENTE (7) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 3.5 metres at this venue over 2190m. Can trouble the judge again.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr6) over 2190m at this track beaten 21 m by Cruz With Rome (2:45.90) in NR up to 49 on May 30 at $51. Showed ability the run before when she won by a head (Fr2) at this track (2:18.60) beating Lilbitahenrytee in NR up to 49 on May 23 at $13. Sure to be thereabouts.

Solid performance when a close third after a quick start, behind Bilum at this track over 1790m in a NR up to 49 on May 23 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Punto Caliente at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 49 on May 30 at $3.70. Right in this contest.

Returns after 15 months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign racing just off the speed and boxed on; won by 10 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Broken Hill (2:05.80) beating Miss Magik in No NR on February 24 2024 at $2.50 at the bell was 3rd-5.1. Rates highly and is a leading player.
