The six-year-old has drawn barrier eight and Bullock said he'll need a "bit of luck" if he's going to find victory in the second race of the meeting - the Lexus of Dubbo Pace (1730 metres).

"It's going to be a bit hard, a pretty tough race for him, but with a bit of luck he won't be be too far away."
After returning from a spell in October, Enk Spot Shannon has found himself in a good run of form, winning two of his past three starts and picking of five placings from eight starts since his return.
Prior to that run of form, he hadn't won a race since October last year.
Bullock said the spell has proven to be an aid for the six-year-old's form, having not disappointed since returning to racing.
"He was racing really well back early in the season, putting three wins together at one stage," he said.
"One of those was a country heart at Menangle. He just seemed to lose a bit of form after that. I don't really know why, there just seem to be no reason.
"We gave him a medium kind of spell and brought him back and he's never really disappointed since he came back."
Travis Bullock has the drive for Enk Spot Shannon, who has driven him in all of his eight starts since returning from his spell.
Bullock said he's happy to leave the tactics up to his son.
"I think from out there in that field he [Travis Bullock] will have to probably ease him [Enk Spot Shannon] at the start and go back and sum it up from there," he said.
"Depending on how the race is run, he's got a few options. He can make a long run from a fair way from home but I generally leave it up to Travis, let him work it out."
Bullock also has Swaggie Shannon (race five) and Bill Shannon (race seven) starting at the meeting.
The eight-race meeting gets underway at 6.33pm.
