Our runners this week: How our trainer rates them

Fergie tips
Tuesday twilight at Manawatu
Race 1: What’s Up The Hill
4.14pm
“That was a big improvement on Sunday and I thought he’d won. I suggested they put a loose headcheck on him after his last start and that definitely helped. He’ll be a chance again on Tuesday, as long as he backs up, and he seemed pretty relaxed after the race.”
Race 2: Leo Lincoln
4.39pm
“Blinkers go on this time and, from one, it looks to be his best chance. I’ll be coming out fast and trying to lead and the way he felt on the first day, and with the make-up of the field, I think he can. It’s taken a few runs to get him sharper this time in, he’s been a bit lacklustre, but he’s ready to go now.”
Race 4: Onyx Shard
5.29pm
“She might have run only fourth on the first day but went massive really. If she can just be one place closer in the running, she would go close.”
