Canberra trainer Keith Dyden is in for a big day at Moruya on Sunday with a number of leading chances set to go around.

Keith Dryden will march an army the small distance between his barn and Thoroughbred Park’s course proper this Friday.

A total of 159 nominations have been received for Canberra’s Good Friday meeting. The nine-race program is highlighted by the inaugural Canberra Southern Cross Club Tuggeranong Cup, a Benchmark 65 contest over the mile that has attracted 21 nominations.

It’ll be largely short odds and civility at the Sapphire Coast TAB meeting on Monday with prolific home track trainers the Jones and Joseph stable combining in all seven races with comeback rider Quayde Krough.

Keith Dryden is hoping to maintain his TAB Highway strike rate in Saturday’s Rosehill Gardens episode with proven series mare Stratum Pride despite coming up with a tricky barrier.
