Van Der Hoven rounds out the day when combining with the Jason Coyle pair of Nambi Ghima in the Goulburn Mazda & Isuzu Ute Maiden Plate (1500m) and Bode Akuna in the ICU Security Cameras Benchmark 66 Handicap (1000m).
“I’ve ridden Nambi Ghima in two of her races and she ran well at Nowra the other day when she finished fourth,” said Van Der Hoven.
“If she can up to that then there’s no reason she can’t figure in the finish.”
Bode Akuna was a maiden winner at Goulburn at big odds when resuming, and Van Der Hoven was aboard the gelding when it ran at Nowra at its latest start.
“He ran well too when finishing second at Nowra and he should well again,” Van Der Hoven said.
The Chris Waller-trained Tajanis backed up his upset win over Gilded Water with his biggest victory, and a fitting one, in the listed Australia Day Cup (2400m) at Warwick Farm on Monday. The five-year-old gelding, a son of UK sire Australia with Zac Lloyd aboard, finished over the top of the Phillip Stokes-prepared Taramansour by two-thirds of a length in the $200,000 staying affair. Another Waller runner, Saltcoats, was almost three lengths further back in third. It was a fourth win in 16 starts for Tajanis, which finished the winning run of Gilded Water in Australia at Rosehill nine days earlier. Earlier, $2.5 million yearling buy Railway Man broke through at his sixth start for trainer Ciaron Maher and Coolmore. The three-year-old I Am Invincible-Booker colt finished over the top of favourite Automne Tree in the $100,000 maiden.

Unbeaten four-year-old Sydney Bowler will be one to watch at Randwick trials on Tuesday. The John O’Shea and Tom Charlton-trained gelding has not raced since making it three wins from three career starts 13 months ago at Randwick. He was the Magic Millions Guineas favourite at the Gold Coast two weeks later but became stuck under the barriers in distressing scenes. The barrier had to be dismantled to free the horse. The race was delayed and Sydney Bowler, which had to be sedated, was scratched. He sustained lacerations on his off-foreleg in the incident but recovered, only for further setbacks forcing winter and spring campaigns to be abandoned. The $300,000 son of Deep Field is set to trial over 740m in the 12th on the program, which also features two group-level heats.
