“She’s no star but she’s got the inside draw so she should get a good trip. There’ll be no excuses.”
Race 1: Jessie Lincoln
6.24pm
“The way Hearts N Aces ran last time seemed to stuff everybody up. There’s nothing wrong with our filly. She trained well this morning. Zac’s driving her this time so hopefully he can pull a rabbit out of the hat.”

Ray’s comments
Friday night at Auckland
Race 2: Rivergirl Maggie
5.50pm
“She paced better last time and it wasn’t a bad run as she was in with a few bear cats. She’s no champion but this field isn’t that good so she’ll be a chance. She’s improving.”
Race 4: Leo Lincoln
6.47pm
Scratched.
Race 8: Sugar Ray Lincoln
8.53pm
“I’m warming to him a bit. That run last week was the best he’s gone for a while. He’s coming to it now. The eight draw makes it tough but he’s improving.”
