Rickie Alchin lines up next shot at Temora Cup

Mo Casino has drawn barrier seven in the $17,850 Temora Pacers Cup (2360m) on Saturday night.

Alchin will make another trip back home for the feature race.

However with a strong field assembled and the inside of the back row draw he's not overly confident of being able to tick another item off his bucket list.

"The horse is going well but has drawn awkwardly," Alchin said.

"It's a pretty strong field but I had to go home anyway to pick some horses up so he's coming for the trip.

"I like supporting the meeting, it is always a good day out and the club through Jane and Ray (Walker) do a good job so we like to get home for the night out and if we've got something take it for the race."

Mo Casino broke through to win at Menangle two starts ago.

It ended an 18-month streak, plagued by illness for the son of Bettors Delight after only racing once in over a year leading into this preparation.

However Alchin is confident the longer distance will suit.

"One thing is the distance will suit my horse," he said.

"He sat parked over a mile to win at Menangle two starts ago but has won over the long distance quite a few times, particularly when I had him up in Queensland he won a couple of 2500-metre races. So he's got his fair share of ability but is going to need some luck."

He rated the Amanda Turnbull-trained pair Gotta Party Doll and Shoobee Doo and Bernie Hewitt's The Mustang as the ones to beat with only two Riverina-trained horses in the field.
