NZH - Alexandra Park - Race 3

LUCKY LUKA (8) impressed when fresh from a spell in a heat of this series last time out, proving too good at this circuit and distance. That gave him three wins on the trot and he has won second-up before so should be fitter. Highly progressive and can overcome a wide draw to deliver again. COAL FIRE (6) was a beaten favourite behind Lucky Luca when resuming but he is much better than that having shown good ability last campaign. Won his lone second-up attempt so look for improvement. OMAHA LINCOLN (7) chased Lucky Luca when resuming before breaking his maiden here last start. Draws wider but he is making good progress. DINO (1) won his first two starts before placing behind Lucky Luca last start. The inside draw should see him competitive again.
