The local racing community will be back in the saddle on Friday.

The seven-year-old won a handicap last meet, on February 13, and will be back in action in race eight with jockey Kristy Bennett aboard.

John Reynolds is also looking for a repeat.

Reynolds is represented by Eliminate in race eight, with Natasha Faithfull aboard.

The four-year-old won a class two handicap last meet.

Reynolds has entered Olivia Knows for race four with Jerry Noske aboard.

Olivia Knows placed third in a local handicap in January.

Noske has five rides on the day after a successful outing last meet.

Spowart has five runners in total.

He is also represented by Hero of the Dawn, Dashing Image and Strong Heart.
