Semi-retired Mark Jones drove a train for 30 years, then turned breaker and part-time trainer with just a couple in work including speedy mare Life’s a Party into Saturday's $120,000, TAB Highway at Rosehill Gardens.

Trainer Matthew Dunn will consider another bid for next year’s $1 million Country Championships Final at Randwick in Sydney if talented sprinter Tribeca Star wins at Ipswich on Wednesday.

Promising gelding Goomeri will spearhead Matthew Dunn’s return to Highway Handicap racing.

Flying galloper Goomeri ($5.50 on TAB) named after a Darling Downs wine region and if there’s celebratory toasts following Saturday’s Rosehill Gardens TAB Highway, it will rank as one of Matthew Dunn’s finest series achievements returning after a two-year absence.
