Gosford trainer Adam Duggan is hoping further rain pushes the Newcastle track into the heavy range ahead of Diamond Diesel strutting his stuff in the $250,000 De Bortoli Wines Takeover Target Stakes on Saturday.

Trainer Adam Duggan is banking on the proven liking Diamond Diesel and Border Control have for their home track kicking in to make a difference in the Polytrack Provincial-Midway Championship Qualifier over 1200 metres there on Saturday.

Dylan Gibbons has been waiting more than six months to avenge Luncies’ narrow Scone Cup defeat and he’s hoping that time comes on Tuesday at Randwick.

Gosford mare Miss Fox ($3.50 favourite on TAB), luckless in the home straight when beaten 2.76 lengths at Warwick Farm last start, has her chance to break through at Wyong on Thursday. The six-year-old mare has not won a race since October 27 when successful in a Benchmark 68 at Gosford.
