Dubbo horseman Clint Lundholm will make the short trip to Wellington on Tuesday with a number of leading contenders set to represent the stable.

“He’s only had the two starts, but they have both been good efforts,” Lundholm said. “Kody Nestor takes the ride, and if he gets any luck from the awkward draw, then he should be hard to hold out.”
Georgina McDonnell takes the ride on the Lundholm-trained Good View in the OTL Over The Line Racing Class 1 & Maiden Plate (1700m).
“She’s a filly by Brutal, and she has been heading in the right direction,” Lundholm said. “Her latest run was OK and she’s drawn the rails.”
Lundholm has a two-prong attack in the Federal Hotel Maiden Handicap (1100m) with Matilda Of Tuscany (Mitch Stapleford) and Best Defence (Zoe Hunt).
“Matilda Of Tuscany had won a trial at Wellington and finished second in another at Dubbo before she debuted with a third at Narromine when beaten just over two lengths,” Lundholm said.
“And Best Defence was having his first start for me when he was just edged out by Micro Mikki at Narromine. He’s been placed in five of his 12 starts having been with Cody Morgan and Todd Howlett before me, and he’s just about ready to win.”
Willinga Karisma (Nestor) represents the stable in the Grand Hotel & Bottle Shop Country Boosted Benchmark 58 Handicap (1400m).
“Willinga Karisma has had three runs back from a long break since coming to me and she’s been ticking along well,” Lundholm said. “She ran a good second last time out and looks ready to peak.“
Lundholm has Miss Piera in the KFC Wellington Class 1 Handicap (1100m), but she is unlikely to run from a wide gate, while trainer Brett Robb has Micro Mikki in that event where they will line up against another last-start winner, the Mack Griffith prepared Pressnell.
