Bathurst horseman Nathan Turnbull has a strong hold on how the NSW Derby field plays out.
Turnbull has a dual attack aimed at the feature with his in-form pacers Better Be The Best and On Deadline.
Group 1 winner Better Be The Best won first-up at Bathurst on February 18, extending his record to eight wins in 11 starts.
His stablemate On Deadline has remained unbeaten in his five Australian starts and the former New Zealand pacer yields a record of six wins in eight starts.
On Deadline will be the first to step out for Turnbull’s team at Menangle this Saturday night, drawing barrier seven in his NSW Derby qualifier.
Better Be The Best has not faired that much differently in his Derby heat, drawing barrier six.
Meanwhile, Turnbull will take six horses to Bathurst tonight and has as many drives.
Turnbull is leading both the NSW trainers’ and drivers’ premierships with 30 wins this season.
