With the countdown on until ticket sales close next Wednesday for this year's $2 million The Kosciuszko, the continued uptick in results for Goulburn-trained horses is ideally timed.

After disappointments resulting in gear and tactics changes, Don’tcha Think is hinting lofty expectations at massive value into a strong TAB Highway at Royal Randwick on Saturday.

The Kosciuszko isn’t quite at the forefront of trainer Danielle Seib’s thoughts with lightly raced mare Smokeshow just yet but a strong first-up performance at Warwick Farm on Wednesday is an important step toward earning a spot in the $2 million feature.

Goulburn trainers have a quintet of acceptors in Saturday's TAB Highway Handicap at Royal Randwick with Tash Burleigh's Iron Will ($7 on TAB) leading the charge up the Hume.

You could call it a carefully planned ambition and it’s driving Danielle Seib to not just be seen as a country trainer.
