Top jockey Aaron Bullock looks to have a number of leading chances going around at Wyong on Sunday.

The leading rider will kick off the day with Oakfield Zena contesting the Central Coast 4 x 4 Wreckers 4YO&Up Maiden Plate, while Harlex (Colorado Homes Midway Class 1 Handicap) is also going around.

Trainer Damien Lane prepares a lot of the Oakfield gallopers, and he is adamant she can make an impact.

“Oakfield Zena was down the track at her latest start, and she ran well leading into that,” said Lane.

“She’s a mare with talent and there’s no reason she can’t go on with the job.”

Bullock will partner the Paul Perry prepared Harlex in the Colorado Homes Class 1 Handicap (1000m).

“He’s a horse with his share of ability. He ran well at Scone when resuming from a spell and there’s no reason he can’t run up to that again,” said Bullock.

“Tigers Roar will also go around in race seven for Greg Hickman, and he should make an impact as well.”

The training partnership of wife and husband Annabel and Rob Archibald will have Expeditiously in the Ezy Projects – Building Made Easy Maiden Handicap (1100m) with Mollie Fitzgerald taking the ride, while November Air is set to run in The Entrance Leagues Class 1 Handicap (1600m) with Braith Nock in the saddle.

Pariah Engagement (Fitzgerald) and Celestial Breeze (Jean Van Overmeire) will take part in the Teamwork Trophies F&M Benchmark 64 Handicap (1200m), with Annabel and Rob sharing the training.

Pariah Engagement has failed to fire in two recent runs, while Celestial Breeze has also had a couple of starts since resuming.

“Celestial Breeze is a last start winner at Canberra, and she looks set to go on with the job,” Annabel said.

“She’s a well-bred Star Turn filly that looked good in her trials before she resumed.”

Celestial Breeze failed to beat a runner home when first-up, then won well at good odds when second-up at Canberra.

“If she can maintain what she showed the other day, then she’ll be hard to hold out again,” said Annabel.
