Local trainer Julie Carew-Neill has been very patient with Lion Force and the waiting game can pay off in the Village Building Company Hcp (Race 1 at 1.48pm AEDT) at Queanbeyan this afternoon.

Lion Force (6m Lion Cavern – Life Force by Vain) won on debut at Queanbeyan in March but came a cropper second up at Goulburn when she missed the jump and raced wide throughout.

Lion Force is back raring to go after a 33 week spell and another win will increase her value at stud.  She is by the same sire as Apache Cat and is a half-sister to Oamaru Force (Geiger Counter) who was a G3 winner of the AJC Shorts Hcp at Randwick.

Oamaru Force stands at Noor Elaine Farm in Victoria and his progeny includes G2 SAJC Yallambee Classic winner Diplomatic Force.
