Our runners this week: How our trainers rate them
Ray’s comments
Thursday night at Cambridge
Race 2: Lincoln Downs
7.08pm
“She hasn’t shown much in two starts back and the wide draw doesn’t help so I’m not holding my breath.”
Race 3: Rivergirl Bella
7.39pm
“She should lead easily from one and be hard to beat. If she’d been a slot closer last time she would have won.”
Ray’s comments
Friday night at Auckland
Race 4: Sugar Ray Lincoln
6.43pm
“Take no notice of that last run which was a non-event for him. Every time he went to go, something came out underneath him. He’s been going better recently and, with reasonable luck in a weaker field, he can be in it.”
