17 horses are nominated for Saturday’s A$300,000 Herbert Power Stakes at Caulfield when Lincoln Farms’ stayer Platinum Invador will step up to a favourable 2400 metres.

Friday at Awapuni

Race 8: Lincoln Towers
4.53pm

“He needs two more scratchings to make the field and, because it’s the first day back racing at Awapuni and they’re running only 12 horses, that looks doubtful. I decided to run him over 1400 metres as I think leaving him at 1200 wouldn’t be the right thing to do. He has continued to work well and had a really nice gallop on the course proper this week.”

Saturday at Te Rapa

Race 7: Billy Lincoln
3.37pm

“He’s bounced out of his trial (third on the Cambridge synthetic) very well and it’s time to kick him off. I wouldn’t expect him to win at 1200 metres but it will bring him on nicely. Then we’ll step him up to a more suitable 1400 and second-up he can be very competitive. Rihaan Goyaram rides and claims 3kg down to 53.5kg.”
