Our runners this week: How our trainers rate them

Tuesday at Cambridge

Race 7: Im Not The Maid
7.39pm

“It’s her first run for five months so she’ll need the run and she’s not well off in the ratings on R52 having won only two $8000 races at Cambridge. She’ll need to lose some rating points.”

Friday night at Cambridge

Race 1: What’s Up The Hill
5.20pm

“I’m just living in hope that he trots all the way.”

Race 4: Dreams Of Eric
6.43pm

“He’s in unchartered territory. He’s used to only two or three horses on the track so the big field will be a test for him. He seems to have a bit of lick, though, another stride at the workouts the other day and he’d have beaten Debrief, and Stonewall paid $270,000 for him. But there are a lot of firsts for him so we’re not holding our breath.”

Race 7: Frisco Bay
8.02pm

Update: Scratched

“This is certainly a big test for him but he’s got the right draw again and if he can get another two hole trip he won’t be the worst out there.”

Sunday at Manawatu

Race 4: Leo Lincoln
6.07pm

“He broke badly last time but that was from a stand and he’s back to a mobile here so he’s got to be a chance. He was climbing all over their backs in his first run back. I’m pleased with him. He’s training well and looks to have a good shot from one. He’s as good as any of them.”

Race 5: Kevin Kline
6.38pm

“He’s been racing much better horses than this and been competitive too. You’d have to rate him a serious chance even from the second row.”

Race 6: Onyx Shard
7.05pm

“You can’t fault her form down there. A tough trip cost her last time. It wouldn’t surprise to see her figure in the finish.”
