The repechage is a week before the semifinals which are nine days before the finals.
The winner of each repechage qualifies for the semifinalsTrainer Cran Dalgety expects a bold showing from the 3yr-old race eight at Addington tonight but pointed out that some of the older horses in the race could possibly be tougher both mentally and physically.
Stablemate Band On The Run flew out to Sydney on Tuesday in the care of Murray Howard.
He will contest the Paleface Adios Sprint at Menangle tomorrow night.
The first five gain entry to the $A200,000 Chariots Of Fire 2160m (mobile) on July 30.
Dalgety has a connection with the Chariots Of Fire dating back to 1997.
Dalgety and his mother, Faye, bred and raced Kentuckiana, whom Cran trained for a win and a second from two starts as a 2yr-old in 1995.
The horse was sold to Australia and won the Chariots Of Fire in 1997.
Dalgety has named his racing establishment at West Melton Kentuckiana Lodge.
Another Homer, winner of the Roxburgh and Nelson Winter Cups this year from the stable of Robbie Holmes, has been sold to the United States.
The Holmes Hanover gelding won six races for Waipara breeder Graham Pearson.
Reon Tither, the former Dunedin-based junior driver, has driven a group one winner in Western Australia.
Tither (24), who has driven 20 winners since he joined the Bunbury stable of John Graham in January, drove the 2yr-old filly Jessie Power to win the $A100,000 State Sires Series Final.
Jessie Power, trained by Graham was at odds of 79-to-one.
