Top driver Shane Graham believes the ability to find a clear pathway with Turn It Up in the first 200 metres of the race will determine his chances of taking home the Group 1 Redcliffe Gold Cup on Saturday night.
The lightly-raced seven-year-old is the lone 10m handicap runner while the Belinda McCarthy-trained Mach Shard will keep himself company on the 20m backmark.
Trained by Vicki Rasmussen, Turn It Up meets Mach Shard on 10m better terms from when he was runner-up to the latter in the Flashing Red Hcp at Albion Park three weeks ago, but Graham believes it may prove an advantage to occupy the back line.
