Green talks Friday Night Lights

Pukekohe trainer Ray Green carts seven pacers to Alexandra Park tomorrow night for harness racing action which will start at 6.07pm.

The Green machine will roll out its first runner in Race One when three year old Obadiah Dragon (Fear The Dragon) lines up from barrier one.

He looked a bit unlucky at his last start.

Lincoln La Moose (Art Major) takes his place in Race Four. He’s been away from the races since April and has one workout to prepare him for his resumption.

In Race Six My Copy (Highview Tommy) faces a handy field of R66-R70 pacers. He draws out at barrier five.

Green has three two year olds lining up in Race Seven – Tyson, (Art Major) Lincoln Lou (Sweet Lou) and Sugar Ray Lincoln (American Ideal).

Tyson had two trials and two workouts before debuting at Cambridge last week where he copped a bad check at the 400 and was put out of the race.

Lincoln Lou is the most experienced runner in this race having started six times for a win and two thirds. He hasn’t raced for a month and had a quiet workout at Pukekohe last Thursday.

Sugar Ray Lincoln draws the outside of the front row. He powered home from the back at Auckland to win at his last start and looks capable of progressing further.

In the Amateur Drivers race to close out the night, Commander Lincoln (American Ideal) will be handled by Andrew Sharpe.

Ray regards Lincoln Lou as the stables best bet for the night.
