AWAPUNI TRACK RECORDS 

Lincoln's Gal and Dreams Of Platinum earned admirers for the Wanganui meeting on Saturday when they worked boldly together at Awapuni this morning. All fast work was on the plough (good), where Lincoln's Gal (r65 1340m) and Dreams Of Platinum (r65 1200m) were paired over 800m in a smart 48.5, the last 600 in 36.8. Both are one-win horses with a trial each and runs under the belt since resuming earlier in the spring. Lincoln's Gal was third over 1100 metres first run back, but lost all chance with a slow beginning last time out. Dreams Of Platinum has not paid a dividend in three runs back, but inside draws have not done her any favours. These two mares are quite capable of running in the money on Saturday. Their stablemates Lincoln Melody (by Savabeel) and Lincoln Raider (by O'Reilly) covered 800m in 50.2, the last 600 in 36.7. A Guillotine-La Petite three-year-old gelding trained by Leon Mudgway took 50.3 and 37.2 for 800m,, followed soon after by Lisa Latta-trained Maidstone Park and Quatromosa who came up with 50.8 and 37.8. Akela Belle and Wanganui runner Lincoln Star (r65 mile) were on terms throughout 800m in 50.8, the last 600 in 38 even, and Lincoln Star followed up a second at the trials with an improver's fifth last start. Lincoln Dreamer (by Savabeel), who will resume shortly, and un-raced Soul Vacation (by Alamosa), trained by Peter Didham, ran 800m in 51.7, the last 600 in 38.6. Wanganui Cup entrant Ringo and stablemate Hypatia cruised over 1000m in 1.7 even, the last 600 in 39.4, and My Calendar Girl went alone in 55.7 and 39 even. Chartwell (by Redwood), who debuts on Saturday (mdn 1340m), had Ben Jovi for a partner over a quiet 800m in 54.9, the last 600 in 40.4. Chartwell has had four trials for one second placing (May). Lincoln Bay (r72 2040m) and Lincoln's Command (by Pentire) were not after time over 800m in 55.7, the last 600 in 40.7, and Cheese Maker (r72 2040m) was at an even clip from the 1000m in 1.11.7, the last 600 in 42.7.
