It is very hard to beat the Jockey Challenge oddsmakers, but if you can't beat them, join them, and hammer $2.10 favourite Brett Prebble for every last cent.

The wheels fell off the Prebble bandwagon at Sha Tin last Saturday and favourite backers were left without a chance after a quartet of winners from Darren Beadman put the Challenge to bed by race six.

Prebble can bounce back to form tonight, however, and driven by his determination to put a gap on suspended equal premiership leader Douglas Whyte, has the firepower to claim the point-score challenge.

His main rivals include Howard Cheng Yue-tin ($6) and Olivier Dolueze ($6.50), but they have also been well found by the bagmen and look only outside hopes of knocking over the favourite.

Prebble starts with a winning chance in Gouf, who is a likely improver on the all-weather track for the first time from the ideal barrier three.

Supreme Commander will have his work cut out from barrier 11, but if Prebble can secure the in-form galloper a good trail into the race, he is a live chance.
