Local trainer Anthony Warren has high hopes of book-ending the Goulburn meeting on Tuesday when he saddles up leading chances in the first and last races.
Warren will combine with jockey Amy McLucas when Bounty By Knight runs in the Superior Turf Country Boosted Maiden Plate (1200m), while Keagan Latham will partner debut winner Sir Lunchalots in the Goulburn Roofing Class 1 Handicap (1400m).
Sir Lunchalots raced on the speed when having his first race start at Goulburn last month and was strong to the line when scoring by a widening three length margin. He was well-supported in the betting in that event after two strong trials.
Bounty By Knight has placed in four of seven starts and resumed from a spell at Moruya with a close-
up second behind Pressilly, which won again at Moruya last week.
While Warren has strong claims of success at Goulburn, fellow trainer Matthew Dale will also head to the track with a few good chances.
First starter Raiderlicious will line up against Bounty By Knight with Jean Van Overmeire taking the ride.
A three-year-old filly by Kermadec, Raideerlicious has had one trial in preparation for her debut, finishing fifth of 10 at Goulburn but beaten less than two lengths.
Dale will also have Ken’ker in the Evergreen Turf Australia Benchmark 58 Handicap (1600m) and Pauji Power in The Country Outfitters Class 1 & Maiden Plate (2125m).
Nick Hewyood will be aboard Ken’ker, while Quayde Krogh has the ride on Pauji Power.
Ken’ker was a winner at the Sapphire Coast four starts ago with Heywood in the saddle, and the gelding then finished in the placings twice before a last start midfield effort at Wagga.
Pauji Power has been placed in each of his latest two starts with a close second at Moruya being followed by a last start third at Canberra when beaten less than a length.
Warwick Farm trainer Gary Portelli will have two runners lining up against Pauji Power with Firealarm (Molly Bourke) and Flying Argento (Louise Day) contesting the event.
