Champion jockey Brendon McCoull put on a master class at his first meeting back from injury to deliver three winners from as many rides at the first meeting of the season under lights in Launceston on Wednesday night.

Trainer Adam Trinder will saddle up a half-dozen of his stable tenants at the Devonport meeting on Sunday with his two three-year-olds Michbar and Distanza the most likely to find the winner’s circle.

With leading trainer Scott Brunton having a seemingly unassailable lead in the quest for his 12th trainer’s premiership, the battle for the state’s leading rider in 2020/21 is sure to garner attention during the final quarter of the season.
