Friday night at Auckland

Race 3: Jessie Lincoln
5.44pm

“She normally runs on better but, after looking like she was going to round them up on the turn last week, she just flattened out. But she’ll be hovering around there somewhere.”

Race 5: Lincoln Maree
6.55pm

“She’s such a tough little filly who tries so hard. I wish I had one with speed with those qualities. It would be nice if they go hard, and she gets a suck along, then she might get a small piece of it. She never goes a bad race.”

Race 5: Angelic Copy
6.55pm

“She’s been going all right but she keeps getting awkward draws and getting pushed back to the rear. Because of her initial success (as a two-year-old) she’s been badly off in the ratings but she’s slowly losing points.”

Race 5: Prince Lincoln
6.55pm

“He’s a serious winning chance regardless of which race he starts in. If it’s here he’ll go forward from his outside gate and try to dominate again in front. He’s not just winning, he’s demolishing them.”

Race 7: Prince Lincoln
7.48pm

“He’ll start in the Metro Final if he gets a scratching. You don’t get to race for $35,000 very often so we’d take a punt on this one even though he’s on the second row.”

Race 9: Sugar Ray Lincoln
8.45pm

“He got fired up at Cambridge with the long delay and, after he went forward to get a position, Fergie was just a passenger. When they pull that hard they don’t run on. He’s been racing well and can’t be ruled out if he gets a good trip.”

Race 9: Lincoln Wave
8.45pm

”If he gets a half decent trip, he’s the one to beat. Ignore the Cambridge run last week from a stand. We know what he can do from the mobile.”
