One of Tasmanian harness racing's most promising mares Queens Advocate looks set to expand her winning sequence when she tackles a C3-C5 event over 2090 metres at UBET Park Hobart on Sunday night.
The Juanita McKenzie-trained mare ended her first preparation with a win for a career record of four wins from five starts in the space of seven weeks from March 08 to April 19.
McKenzie gave the mare a short spell and she resumed with an impressive win in Hobart two weeks ago.
While this is a step up in grade for the daughter of McArdle-Genes West (x Jennas Beach Boy) she would only need to begin well to find a cosy spot in the run to expand her win record.
Mister Ryanjack is a fast beginner and as he is drawn directly inside of McKenzie's mare (in gate three) Queens Advocate might be forced to face the breeze to win but if that eventuates she should be up to the task.
At the end of the mare's last campaign McKenzie predicted a bright future for the rising six-year-old.
The mare's stablemate Zumba Bromac is attempting to make it a hat trick of wins when he takes on a handy field in the The Warp Drive Pace over 2090 metres (Race seven).
Zumba Bromac has drawn gate three but it is unlikely he can lead as Bisping that has drawn the outside of the front row (7) is brilliant from the mobile and has the speed to cross and assume control.
It that eventuates Zumba Bromac's driver Ricky Duggan will have to make a decision whether to drift back and find a slot one-out or push forward, test Bisping early and then face the breeze.
The tactics will play a dominant role in the outcome of this race.
It is a mammoth 10-race card tonight with the first scheduled to start at 5.33 pm and the last at 10.10 pm.
