Steel The Show headlines the returning brigade in the Call Garrards Horse & Hound For All Your Equine Needs Pace (2536m), while Street Hawk, pictured above, also makes his return to racing in the Garrards Horse & Hound BOTRA Cup (2503m).

As well as Steel The Show, the Bond team will also start Patronus Star, Minstrel and Galactic Star in the Free-For-All event.

Steel The Show, who won his first four starts in WA and finished fourth in The Nullarbor, has drawn barrier one for his return tomorrow night and will be driven by Deni Roberts.

Greg Bond said he was pleased how the gelding had performed since coming across from New Zealand.

"When he came here, he got some soft kills under his belt, but he really progressed at the end of last campaign," Bond told The Trots WA.

"To do what he did in The Nullarbor was super.

"He's not going to be anywhere near rock hard fit on Friday, but he's been doing well at home and this is a nice race to start with.

"I'm expecting he will be able to hold the front and give them something to chase."

Steel The Show secured his place in the Team Bond Nullarbor slot ahead of Minstrel with a strong FFA showing a fortnight prior.

Fremantle Cup winner Minstrel, who was a notable absentee from The Nullarbor, also makes his return tomorrow night and will start from barrier four for reinsman Colin Brown.

Patronus Star, who ran an encouraging second behind Mighty Conqueror a fortnight ago, will be driven by Dylan Egerton-Green from barrier two, while Maddison Brown will drive Galactic Star from barrier six.

Street Hawk will be out to deliver the Bond stable its second success in the BOTRA Cup in three years, having won the race with Minstrel in 2021.

The four-year-old has shown good standing start form in the past, having finished second to Hector in the Easter Cup earlier this year.

Bond said he was really pleased with Street Hawk ahead of his return.

"He's been working with Steel The Show ahead of tomorrow night and he's going just as well as him," he said.

"He will be hard to beat tomorrow night, but it will be tricky because the horses that have been running in the stands recently are all going well.

"We will look to try and get him through the grades this time in and then head to the major four-year-old races later in the year where he's probably our number one seed."

Tomorrow night's Gloucester Park meeting gets underway at 5.24.
