A group 1 winner in her native New Zealand, Collett returned to ride in NSW in 2020 when the COVID pandemic shut down racing in Singapore.
The younger sister of established Sydney rider Jason Collett then quickly carved out a place in the provincial ranks, landing 89 winners in 2020-21 and backing that up each campaign.
“During COVID I had some city opportunities, but then I took a back step from there, and I was just happy to ride provincials and learn more about the racing, build some contacts and learn more of the craft here,” she said.
“This season’s gone really well, I can’t complain. I just hope it keeps going. Just keep that momentum going.”
Jason Coyle-trained Lulumon shapes as Collett’s best chance on Saturday. Collett reunites with the fast-finishing mare, which she won on at Gosford’s standalone meeting on May 10. She was a $6 Sportsbet chance in the eighth, a benchmark 88 handicap over 1100m, from gate three.
“She’s a little bit of a quirky ride, a little bit one-dimensional, but she’s going well,” Collett said.
“She had a fail that day at Rosehill on the heavy over the 1200, and I just enjoy her coming back to these shorter trips.
“The other day [when third] she made good ground late, so I’m hopeful tomorrow with the right barrier to put us in the right spot.”
Collett has the same gate with Green Shadows ($8.50) in the fifth, a benchmark 88 over 1600m.
“The other day [when fifth] he didn’t show any speed at all, so up to the mile, hopefully he can put himself in a better spot,” she said.

“He got spat out of the race twice, and it was a good effort to pick himself up and finish well the last 400.”
Another strong chance is John Thompson-trained Open Secret ($10) first-up in the 1100m race for two-year-olds to start the day. She was a winner on debut then sixth three times in stakes races.
“The other day we intended on taking a sit on her at the trials, and I thought that was great,” she said.
“She got in behind, relaxed and showed a good turn of foot when I asked for an effort that last little bit.”
