Ten races have been set on the synthetic at Devonport on Wednesday as the Tasmanian Racing Carnival swings into gear. 

Trainer Barry Campbell will give his talented galloper Alpine Wolf the chance to win next year’s Ladbrokes Devonport Cup after a brilliant return to racing in the Open Hcp (1009m) in Devonport on Wednesday.

The 2023 Ladbrokes Devonport Cup has a familiar feel to it with the trifecta from last year’s race all going around again. Speed looks genuine with Sir Simon the likely leader from Rising Light, Reward Achiever and Maincourt a trio that could challenge for the front.

Talented mare Reward Achiever looks set to be a major player in the outcome of the $50,000 Kevin Sharkie Sheffield Cup over 1650 metres in Devonport on Friday.

Last start Group 3 placegetter El Gladiador will take his place in a far easier race at Sandown.
