Damian Lane heads to Moonee Valley on Saturday 30th of December with a very strong book of 7 rides.

He currently has a win strike rate of 16% for his last 25 rides and an impressive 21%-win strike rate for his last 100 rides.

In Race 4 he teams with the Price & Kent Jnr yard, together they are going at a huge 40%-win strike rate trainer/jockey combo.

Standouts:

Race 6, N4 Space Tracker – Happy to forgive first up failure when racing on a heavy track. Strips fitter for that effort and the rise in trip looks ideal. Strikes a good track here which will suit and with natural improvement second up he looks one of the main chances. He has the highest SFR (statfreaks rating) in this race and the 8th highest SFR at the meeting. Damian Lane is gong at an excellent 22%-win strike rate when riding in middle distance races and a solid 13%-win strike rate when riding horses that settle midfield. This is also Damian Lanes 2nd best ride at the meeting as per our SFR.

Race 10, N6 Kin – Not beaten far latest when out to 1200m for the first time this prep. Will likely find this an easier assignment and will be at peak fitness for this. She will drift back from the wide gate and in a suitable race can use her turn of foot late to figure in the finish. She has the highest SFR in this race and the 2nd highest SFR at the meeting. Damian Lane is going at a huge 26%-win strike rate when riding in sprint races and an equally impressive 24% win strike rate when riding horses that settle midfield. Damian Lane is going at a huge 43%-win strike rate when riding favourites and this is also Damian Lanes best ride at the meeting as per our SFR.
