With seven winners (14 per cent) and a further 16 top four placings (46 per cent) from his past 50 runners, local Gosford trainer Luke Hilton is looking to continue his consistent run of form on his home surface on Thursday.

Hilton gets the ball rolling with In The Zone in the Campbells Timber And Hardware Provincial And Country Maiden Plate (1100m) with the Not A Single Doubt gelding having just his third start for the stable.

The five-year-old comes into the event following two thereabouts runs at Lismore and Moruya, and has the services of in-form hoop Adam Hyeronimus from gate three.

"Both runs for us have been really good," Hilton said. "He probably didn’t quite get the 1200m last start, let alone on the heavy track, but Adam won a trial on him and has a bit of an opinion."

Hilton then lines up Monsieur Macron in the Midcoast Timber Benchmark 64 Handicap (1100m), another horse new to the stable.
