Sydney’s leading jockey Zac Lloyd heads to Wyong on Tuesday with three mounts awaiting as he attempts to continue his winning run.
Lloyd ensured he maintained his spot at the top of the Sydney premiership with a winning double at Randwick last Saturday courtesy of Kreon and Sun God.

He will combine again with Sun God’s trainer, Chris Waller, when he rides Shawnee Boy in the Pip Global Safety Super Maiden Plate (1350m).
A son of Maurice, Shawnee Boy races in the cerise of the Ingham family and has only had one start for a fifth at Canterbury.
Lloyd links with Godolphin when he partners the Michael Freedman-trained Rhetoric in the Coregas C,G&E Maiden Handicap (1100m).
Rhetoric has only had two starts and followed a fourth on debut at Canterbury with another fourth at the same track when leading the field only to weaken in the straight when Lloyd was aboard.
The jockey’s remaining ride at Wyong is the John Thompson-prepared Melanite in the Levelmaster Class 1 Handicap (1000m).
Melanite was resuming from a spell and having his fifth start in a race at the Gold Coast last month when making a well-timed run to score a win in the Magic Millions Maiden with Ethan Brown in the saddle.
Melanite is taking on a handy field that includes the Peter Snowden-trained Gambler, which accounted for Melanite when they clashed at Hawkesbury last July. Tommy Berry will ride Gambler, while the Michael, Wayne and John Hawkes-trained Fierce will be partnered by Tyler Schiller.
