Brad a trainer and driver to follow at Roxburgh

Jonny Turner Harness Racing Journalist

Brad Williamson has no plans to change his tactics behind Mach Quillan in tomorrow’s Roxburgh Cup. 

The Gore pacer comes into Roxburgh’s biggest race after producing a bold recent second placing in his home-town Cup, only beaten by the fast-finishing Franco Norton.

Mach Quillan takes on a somewhat similar line up minus Franco Norton, who was scratched earlier this week.

After leading up and running a strong second on the roomy Gore track, Mach Quillan should be even harder to catch if he finds the top around the much tighter Roxburgh circuit.

Though the Matt Brinsdon trained pacer starts from a 10m handicap, he has just two horses in front of him on the front line and only one other beside him on the same mark.

That means finding the front could be a realistic option for Williamson who thinks the horse is a much bigger force when he can set his own terms.
