She\u2019s<\/span> had a couple of <\/span>really good<\/span> chances lately that she <\/span>hasn\u2019t<\/span> taken but Queen Lizzy (2) must get her name on the winners\u2019 sheet at some point soon.

Really sharp trial the other day from Rena (5) in behind The Lazarus Effect. Went to the line under a strong hold and with a good draw to use tonight in a field that looks within range if she can find the front and control things then <\/span>she\u2019s<\/span> going to be <\/span>very hard<\/span> to beat. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Back on a new campaign for a new <\/span>stable<\/span> it will be interesting to see how the talented Elton J (6) measure up. Sharp trial win to ready for this and if he can get away well and perhaps find his way to the front then he might just run away with this. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Seriously in the conversation for being our best two-year-old trotter <\/span>at the moment<\/span>, Master McGoogan (8) should find this assignment nothing more than a bit of fast work really.

The beautifully bred Jacque (2) makes his debut here and everything <\/span>we\u2019ve<\/span> seen from him in public suggest <\/span>he\u2019s<\/span> very good<\/span>. Second behind Wise Move in the latest trial which is good form after <\/span>it\u2019s<\/span> Methven win last week. Nice draw to use and ticks all the right boxes for winning debut. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Things worked out beautifully for Marketplace (8) here in a fresh state last time and he duly delivered.

With a wicked turn of foot tonight\u2019s draw <\/span>doesn\u2019t<\/span> bode too badly for Franco Lomu (10).

Super effort here last week from Just Like Jagger (6) in a strong field of mares. Racing herself into some <\/span>very good<\/span> form and on a drop back here looks well placed.
