Hall Of Fame trainer David Hayes is set to go after his third Albury Gold Cup win in four years next Friday after nominating a strong team of three horses for the $170,000 Listed Race.

It was a case of horses for courses for home track winner Launay in today’s Tab.com.au Stakes (1400m).

Crack colt All Too hard will have much to live up to this afternoon when he lines up as favourite in the Group 1 C F Orr Stakes over 1400m at Caulfield.

Group One stars All Too Hard and Ortensia will hold the spotlight when their autumn preparations step up a cog in barrier trials next week.

187 runners have been entered for the Group 1 Doncaster Mile at Randwick in April with 20 $1million earners amongst nominations including defending champion More Joyous.
