He has a number of other leading contenders at the meeting, led by Salvato for Paul Messara and Leah Gavranich in the Muswellbrook Motors 2YO Maiden Handicap (1000m).
Cavorting is the ride in the third event for Bullock for trainer Michael Lunn. The former Victorian is set to run well at his first start since joining a new stable.

The Lyndall Olson-trained Zaru is Bullock's mount in race five at Muswellbrook, on the back of a last start solid placing at Grafton.

Anna Hay: Good, bad, ugly as coaches under the pump in round 21
GOOD: CHESSER'S CHANCE Campbell Chesser's first AFL game of the season was far more than just a return from injury — it was a high stakes audition for his playing future. The out-of-contract midfielder was the Eagles' top draft selection at pick 14 in 2021; but injuries have meant his career has been defined more by his potential than his performance. His return against the Demons was his chance to break the cycle and he grabbed the opportunity with both hands. In a dark and disappointing day for West Coast, Chesser was a shining light. His run and carry were a constant feature of his game, finishing with 17 disposals and a goal. For the first time in a really long time, Chesser looked like the player the Eagles drafted and we saw some flashes of the young Victorian they believed in. He was composed and ready to make an impact. Let's hope this was a just a sneak peek of a long and successful career for Chesser in blue and gold. BAD: PLAYER PRIVACY Carlton coach Michael Voss was completely justified in his disappointment over Collingwood coach Craig McRae's public admission about meeting with out-of-contract Blue Jack Silvagni. While McRae wouldn't have meant any harm, his casual remark about the coffee date created a challenging situation for Silvagni to navigate. Voss made the point in his press conference on Saturday afternoon. It's not the coaches that have to walk back into the locker room and face their teammates, it's the player. West Aussies know this story all too well. We saw the fallout after Oscar Allen had coffee with Hawthorn coach Sam Mitchell. Allen was thrust into the spotlight, scrutinised for his loyalty and commitment to the club he co-captains. McRae's public name drop could also have frustrated out-of-contract Pies stars Brody Mihocek, Jamie Elliot, Darcy Cameron and Jeremy Howe, whose contract talks have come to a standstill, while the club publicly pursues Silvagni. UGLY: EAGLES INNER DEMONS It's fair to wonder just how low the Eagles can go this season. You've probably caught yourself thinking, where is rock bottom for West Coast? Have they reached it yet or is there further to fall? On Saturday, the club claimed its second wooden spoon in three years, following the 83-point thumping to Melbourne. Eagles coach Andrew McQualter said post-match the football club isn't tough enough and it's something they can't accept. It will be interesting to see how they respond in the final three rounds of the season, when they face top-of-the-table Adelaide, the Western Bulldogs and Sydney. These games will be a test of character. If you're a glass half full sort of person, well, that number one pick will be the Eagles in the upcoming draft. A golden ticket to a brighter future.

Race-by-race preview and tips for Monday meeting at Wagga (Riverside)
Track Heavy 8 and rail True. Race 1 2. Pride Of Jezza is a locally trained and improving four-year-old who can make it two straight after finally breaking through on the course proper here. Revelled in similar conditions that day, coming from well off the speed, and has been given four weeks between runs. 5. Flutterby is a Victorian mare who hasn't finished further back than second in her last five and swept home to win on soft ground two starts ago before being ridden quieter and charging late behind a dominant winner at Albury 17 days ago. 8. Dantains Prize is bursting to win a race deep into the campaign, and drawn to get a handy trail and getting down to the limit weight. 6. Bomerton has been running home okay behind the placegetters all prep, and gets weight relief here with a new jockey aboard. 1. Mishima was beaten a long way at Kilmore last start, but fit enough, and did win his maiden win on heavy ground at Wodonga two starts ago when backed from $4.20 into $2.80. Extra trip and a 3kg claimer staying aboard are plusses. How to play it: Pride Of Jezza to win Race 2 6. Impending Imprint, by Impending out of a Hinchinbrook mare, makes her debut in suitable conditions for the leading Donna Scott stable at Albury. Won the second of two trials when sailing down the middle from last, leading country jockey is on, and she's drawn to get the right cover early. 5. Belnera is in the mix despite a wide draw after leading for a long way here first-up behind a very handy winner, and bred to thrive in rain-affected going. 3. Quick Spell has shown steady improvement in four runs this prep. Blinkers come off, but has to overcome a tricky draw and a jump in weight. 2. Lover Man is a betting watch on debut with gear additions for the Ron Stubbs stable after blowing the jump in an Albury trial. 7. Lack Of Restraint crossing the border third-up, and 11. Wild Annie well into the campaign can both figure in the minor money. How to play it: Impending Imprint to win Race 3 3. Performing Diva is a progressive and lightly raced mare resuming with no public trials. Showed more than enough at her second start when hitting the line late at Goulburn, and has reportedly been working well for some time. 1. Forte Cheval, a first starter by Strasbourg from the same yard as the previous on top selection, is a big market watch. Has had two trials, the latest sitting wide and matching it with unbeaten Cambar before wilting late. 5. Rita Red has been in the money in two runs back from a lengthy break, and in-form jockey sticks solid. Big watch on home-tracker 7. Party Boss resuming with no official trials, but did make the group 3 Black Opal field as a two-year-old. 4. Vinari improves at her second start on a bigger track. How to play it: Performing Diva to win Race 4 1. Antisocial is a capable Victorian mare who can bounce back third-up in suitable ground and take her winning strike rate to near 25 per cent. She charged home to win on the course proper here for a dominant win on a bog track before having a torrid and wide run in deeper grade at Corowa. Drawn to get cover, and has won two from three in heavy going. 2. Getty boxed on okay from a low draw first-up in a handy class 3. Less depth here and handles the going. 3. Magic Leprechaun pulled off a nice betting move when resuming in heavy ground at Albury, charging home from last in a class 1. This isn't much tougher, and he's lightly raced for a six-year-old. Be surprised if the winner comes outside those three, but 6. King Charles is back sharply in trip and dropping in grade, and 9. Winehouse is fourth-up with blinkers added and trained on the track; add value into trifecta and first four plays. How to play it: Antisocial to win
