Prentice seeks trifecta of Manea Classic wins

Boyanup trainer-reinsman Justin Prentice is looking for his third-consecutive win in the $25,000 Manea Classic (2100m) when he drives Rocknroll Lincoln at Donaldson Park on tomorrow night.

The four-year-old entire will start from fourth in the annual feature race, having won his trial across the same distance last week.

A win in December’s Group 1 Retravision Golden Nugget at Gloucester Park means the Rocknroll Lincoln is not an outside chance.

Rocknroll Lincoln has won six races from 26 stars and twice for Prentice since making the move to his stable in October of last year.

Prentice and RocknRoll Lincoln will start as $11 outsiders, with Garry Hall Snr’s Runrunjimmydunn the hot favourite at $1.60 and Skye Bond’s Vampiro, who is looking for a fourth-straight victory.

The duo have won across both 2185m and 2130 at Pinjarra and Gloucester Park respecitvely, but come up against strong competition at the Bunbury Trotting Club’s most prestigious race.

Aiden De Campo will drive his father’s Cest Lheure, who is paying $20 for victory despite having placed in his last five finishes.

A victory for the De Campo team would be Cest Lgeure’s seventh in 35 starts and first since a win in Bunbury across the 2100m last month.

The pacer has just two wins for the season and will start from gate seven.
