Northam-Hillier combination with triple shot at Warren
The trainer and jockey combination of Rodney Northam and apprentice Chelsea Hillier will field at Warren on Sunday.
Hillier has no allowances on country courses and will link up with Northam for three mounts at the Warren meeting, which includes the $37,000 Commonwealth Bank District and Agricultural Cotton Cup (1600m).

Northam-trained Bawnaglen will open the day for Hillier when she lines up in the Peter Bill Australian Girls Handicap (1400m).
Bawnaglen is a four-year-old horse from Headwater who has made seven starts for two minor placings. He continued his magic with a third-place finish at Scone, finishing fifth behind the talented Regal Problem on his last start.
Supido filly Don’t Say Do will ride for Northam and Hillier in the Queensland Cotton Country Boosted Maiden Plate (1200m).
Don’t Say Do had a light run as he debuted eighth at Tamworth in April. He was wowed after that run and has since had a barrier trial before following up with a fifth of six at Scone.
The final runner of the Northam trio will be This One Time, whom Hillier will partner in the Elders Warren Benchmark 58 Handicap (1000m).
This Once follows up from a spell on the back of a third in a barrier trial at Scone on 29 October.
Alabama Express’s four-year-old mare This One Time won two consecutive awards at Tamworth and Dubbo in April and May. He also has two second-place finishes to his name after eight starts.
