LAKHONI TO RESUME AT BENDIGO ON TUESDAY

Lakhoni resumes a stronger horse when he starts a new campaign at Bendigo on Tuesday.

Lakhoni runs in race five, the Rising Stars Benchmark 64 Handicap for apprentice riders over 1100m with Fred Kersley in the saddle.

The three-year-old son of Dalakhani scored on debut at Bendigo last September and has pleased Mike Moroney in his preparation.

“His recent work has been very good and he’s come back a stronger horse this time,” Moroney said.

"His gallop on Saturday was excellent and his jumpouts have been more than satisfactory.”

Although the race is restricted to apprentice riders it is an open class race and Lakhoni is meeting older horses.

“It does look the right race for him and I do think he’s the best horse in the race,” Moroney said.

“It’s a small field and he’s drawn out but I’m not too concerned as they only have to go around one corner

“He can make his own luck, if he jumps away he can press forward and equally if he wants to he can take a sit.”
