Rawiller hopes ‘flip of the coin’ falls his way with Lindermann in 7 Stakes

Rawiller believes little separates the Chris Waller-trained Lindermann and Joe Pride-prepared Private Eye, and both will improve off their most recent runs. Lindermann is an $8.50 (Sportsbet) chance from gate eight. Private Eye, with Adam Hyeronimus aboard from barrier nine, has firmed into $7.50.

“To be honest, I was having that much trouble with it, I was flipping a coin and sort of heads Lindermann and tails Private Eye, and it was just, boom, straight on heads,” Rawiller said with a grin.

“I think they’re both going great. I thought Private Eye ran as well as Lindermann last time and I probably felt, if anything, him being second up, he’ll improve more next time.

“But at the same time, Lindermann’s just been fantastic his whole career to me. I’ve won a group 1 on him and when he bounced back like he did the other day, it was pretty tough to get off him.”
