Elusive Impact won first-up on the track over the same distance last month, and Robinson is hopeful of a repeat performance on Wednesday, despite drawing barrier 18.<\/p>\n

\u201cElusive Impact has a tricky draw,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cHe will go forward a bit and slot in somewhere behind the speed and we will work it out from there.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he has done really well, we are happy with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Delphillius has also drawn unfavourably in barrier 15, and Robinson said jockey Courtney Barnes will likely adopt similar tactics.<\/p>\n

\u201cDelphillius has an awful draw too,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cShe is a go-forward horse, so hopefully she can go forward and slot in somewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three-win mare Sonnet will complete Robinson\u2019s representation and she will jump from the more favourable alley of two, with Kate Hercock aboard.<\/p>\n

\u201cSonnet just hasn\u2019t had any luck in her last three starts, she had terrible draws and just hasn\u2019t had the rub of the green,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cShe is in with a runner\u2019s chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robinson will have two further representatives on the Riccarton undercard, with Moonlighting first up in the Stallion Tenders Now Open Maiden (1200m), and In Awe in the Racecourse Hotel & Motor Lodge Rating 65 (1600m).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the first-up run with Moonlighting,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cShe hasn\u2019t had a trial, but she has had a couple of jumpouts and gone well. She has got quite a bit of ability.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have got a good rider [Bruno Queiroz] on and she has got a good draw [1], so she will slot in behind the speed somewhere and hopefully she runs well. Whatever she does on Wednesday, she will improve on.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Awe has got an awful draw [16] but he is going well. He loves the polytrack and he always tries hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Looking ahead to Saturday, Robinson will have a quartet of runners competing on the final day of the Grand National Festival of Racing at Riccarton.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have got Bella Luce and Mr Bully Tee in the 75 mile, and they should both be good chances,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWaihora Mist will back up from the other day. She steps up to 2000m, which I think suits her. And Highland Fling is in the 65 1400m, and he should run well.\u201d<\/p>\n
