Lensley and Yeni primed to strike

By Viv Greybe

The trainer-jockey combination of Corrie Lensley and Muzi Yeni could come out firing at Flamingo Park today when Dame Judith steps out in Race 1, a Maiden Plate (F&M) over 1000m.

This three-year-old showed vast improvement in her penultimate outing when third over 1000m with Collen Storey up.

Yeni partnered the filly next time when backed and finishing third out of 14 over the same distance, but that run should be overlooked as she was bumped at start.

With better luck in the running she could recoup losses.

Lensley will also be hoping for be er luck with Bugle Player (Yeni) in Race 2, a 1400m Maiden Plate.

The gelding was a runner-up three times with Yeni up in his last four outings – the last of which was an unlucky second when hampered by a slipped saddle.

Following Cliffie Miller-trained Phil’s Power (Collen Storey) could be the way to go in Race 3, a 1600m MR 78 Handicap.

This gelding has not been out of the money in his last eight starts – six of which saw him in the runner-up spot.

Another bright prospect is Stephanie Miller-trained Hammie’s Game (Ryan Munger) who contests Race 5, a 2200m MR 71 Handicap.

This six-year-old comes off two promising runs when a runner-up over 2200m and 1800m.

Go with Bill Human-trained Polly Again (apprentice Nathan Klink) in Race 6, a MR 68 Handicap (F&M) over 1400m.

This mare showed smart form in her last three outings – scoring over 1800m; following up with a good second and then justifying favouritism with a win.
