Trainer Clint Lundholm will be in action at Tuesday’s Dubbo race meeting with a strong representation set to give a good account for the stable.

Lundholm has seven runners set to contest five events for the local horseman, starting with Pyromania ($10 on TAB) in the Barastoc Summer Sprint Series – Round 1 Benchmark 66 Handicap (1000m).

Two-kilogram claiming apprentice Zoe Hunt will take the ride on Pyromania, which races in the Darby Racing colours that tasted success with Sandpaper at Wyong on Saturday and went close to winning The Lakes when Robusto ran second.

“Pyromania is a consistent horse that has been placed in 11 of his 20 starts with three wins included in that,” said Lundholm.

“He’s resuming from a spell on Tuesday and is a first-up winner, so I’m expecting him to run well.”

The lightly raced Written By Choice ($4) will run in the Barastoc Furlong Country Boosted Maiden Handicap (1400m) with Nick Heywood in the saddle.

Written By Choice has only had four starts but has finished second in two of them at his latest two starts at Dubbo and Gilgandra.

“He’s hit the line well in each of his latest two starts and if he can run up to those efforts then he should take plenty of holding out,” Lundholm said.

Hunt is set to combine with Wotastatement ($7) when the four-year-old mare runs in the Dubbo City & Gilgandra Toyota F&M Maiden Plate (1200m).

Wotastatement has been placed in two of her six starts and hasn’t been far away in her beaten unplaced efforts.

Beauty Edge (Hunt-$5) and South Bullaway (Jack Baker-$15) are the two Lundholm runners in the Inland Petroleum Class 1 Handicap – Heat Of The Rising Star (1200m), while the trainer had Keadool (Hunt-$11) and Notabadchassis (Jean Van Overmeire-$23) in the Barastoc Stablemate Class 1 Handicap (1000m).

“Wotastatement has shown a bit of ability, and she looks well placed,” said Lundholm. “Beauty Edge won well at Dubbo two starts ago and if he can repeat that he should be hard to beat again.

“And Keadool won well on debut at Dubbo and has the talent to run well again if he can run up to that.”
