The trainer has five horses competing across the day's events, spread out across four different races.
Originally, the trainer had hoped to double up on the recent success of Matter of Factor at Gilgandra, but the two year old filly was scratched from the opening showcase's listings.
"Matter of Factor's just ended up with a viral infection in the paddock, so we've just set her aside for a spell," Lundholm said.
Two of the horses Lundholm will be racing, So Good to Me and Dusky Damsel, will be competing alongside one another in the Showcase Fillies and Mares Class 1 and Lundholm has nothing but confidence about how he expects them to perform.

"I think we've a really good chance with the Fillies and Mares in the class one race, Dusky's obviously having a run back from a major spell, nothing major, just wasn't right, and we decided to save her for Coonamble," Lundholm said.
So Good to Me's recent form included a first place finish at the races in Gilgandra, while Dusky Damsel placed second in Dubbo before a three week rest.
Shwanky Doo will be Lundholm's entry into the Maiden Showcase and Lundholm expects a solid chance of a place from the underdo, who's started at Wellington and Parkes so far, while Gorn Hoff, in the Colts and Geldings, picked up a first place finish in Dubbo in his last three starts.
"I think the maidener could run a cheeky race, he was a good run last start at Parkes, with Jake on him, I think it's a good chance there," Lundholm said.
"The colts and geldings, I thought would be a really good chance, he's drawn the outside, no favours there, but we could run a good rough race."
Lundholm's fifth starter will be Carinda Road, who's been entered into the Class 3 Showcase, the five year old gelding is coming back from a lengthy rest, to a shorter track than used to, and Lundholm expects the change to be a welcome one.
"Carinda Road has been in good form over longer distances, he's first up today, I'd expect him to be running home and running a nice race."
The Coonamble races will begin at 12:20 on Sunday June 23 with the two year old Showcase.
