Lake Sententia books Qld trip at Valley

Wednesday 5 June 2013, 5:40pm

Stakes-winning mare Lake Sententia has confirmed a Queensland trip with victory at Moonee Valley on Wednesday.

The Darren Weir-trained four-year-old was sent out $1.95 favourite in the City Jeep Handicap (2040m) and scored by three-quarters of a length.

"She's going terrific and I reckon there's a little bit of improvement in her still," Weir said.

"That was the plan because we're going to head to Queensland now for a couple of runs up there. She'll be going up there in good order."

Weir is targeting Lake Sententia at the Group Three Tattersall's Cup (2200m) at Eagle Farm on June 22 and the Listed Caloundra Cup (2400m) a week later.

"If she happened to be good enough to get away with one of them it would be terrific," Weir said.

Lake Sententia's victory brought up a double for Weir after the win of Truffle.

Trainer Doug Harrison, meanwhile, took advantage of the first meeting at Moonee Valley in two months with a double of his own.

Harrison produced Alrouz and Queen Delight to win at the meeting and said both could be back at the same track chasing more success on Saturday week.
