Lumineer outpoints Higherthananeagle to win her APG heat for driver Jason Lee.

Angela McDowell's flying two-year-old colt Lumineer can't be beaten in Saturday night's $322,000 Australian Pacing Gold final at Tabcorp Park Menangle.

That's the verdict of Trots Media's Cody Winnell, who sprouted confidence in the unbeaten Sportswriter colt during last night's Trots On Tuesday radio segment on SEN 1116AM.

"I'd put a line through all of them, they are not getting anywhere near Lumineer," Winnell said. "There was absolute daylight between Lumineer and the rest of the field and there is no way any of those runners are turning the tables on Lumineer in the final.

"And if you take a line back through that Higherthananeagle heat (when Lumineer sat outside and beat him), I don't see anything from the other semi-final going anywhere near him. It will go around, it will win easily, because it's the best two-year-old I've seen for a while."

Listen in to Winnell and Michael Howard's podcast, which can be heard from about 11pm every Tuesday on SEN 1116AM.
