INTERNATIONAL Cup-winning jockey John Marshall gets back to basics on the Happy Valley equitrack tomorrow night but a Class Six win beckons with topweight Let It Be in the fifth event.
The John Moore-trained galloper is an outstanding banker for the Double Trio and it is virtually impossible to see him finishing out of the first three in the second leg of the popular bet.
The synthetic surface suits this very moderate customer ideally and the rails draw tomorrow night should safely ensure that he will go one better than his second placing at the Valley at his first start of the season.
He was drawn in the extreme outside barrier that night over course and distance and was carted wide throughout the race. He finished second to Malayan Bright after making up enormous ground - but he was basically beaten, virtually before he started, by the draw.
Marshall is riding in quite superb form at the moment, better probably than at any time in his career and that includes an eight-year stint with master trainer Bart Cummings.
It's a long way down from the glory of an International Cup win on Motivation to a Class Six event on equitrack but the former Sydney champion is a consummate professional and will put every bit as much effort into this miserable affair as he did on Sunday.
