Nigel Tiley knows it will all come down to luck in the running with his group one Livamol Classic (2040m) prospect Megablast at Hastings today.
Megablast is one of the fresh runners at the three-day Hawke's Bay Carnival, but he has travelled far in preparation for the weight-for-age feature. His latest two runs have been on either side of the Tasman and his Pukekohe trainer has him primed to give a good account of himself today.
"I couldn't be happier with his work on Tuesday, it was as good as he's ever worked, but he will need a bit of luck in the running if he's to get some of it," Tiley said.
"It's never easy in a group one race and you just need to get some of the breaks."
