Cowell has two great chances in Nanyuki and last start Taree winner Bettabet Red whereas Thompson creates plenty of interest in picking up good mounts in the other five races.
One of Thompson's mount is Yamba's Dream for Wyong trainer Allan Denham in the feature Wingham Beef Exports Cup over 1400m, it having its second start from a spell after an unlucky sixth here last start.
Yamba's Dream may be out of its class slightly but stepping up in distance here should enhance its chances after solid backing last start when resuming.
It gets in nicely in the weights but there are some top chances above in last start Port Macquarie winner Blinkin Rules,trained on the track by Ross Stitt, who is on a form curve with three winners from two recent meetings.
Coffs Harbour mare Myonrose, trained by Brett Bellamy, has again struck form with two wins and a third here last start and is well up to this field.
Thompson's other top hopes are Lucky Few, trained at Broadmeadow by David Atkins who had a winning double at Port on New Year's Day, improving with every run in Broadmeadow's Miss Tripod, Denham's Invincible Eagle and First Episode for Gosford trainer John McNair.
Cowell nominated for the cup but decided to send his promising galloper Bellatbet Red around in the Saville Refrigerated Transport Class 3 Handicap over 1600m.
Apprentice Alena Skeerritt again rides the galloper,having been on for all three wins,and is also on consistent placegetter Nanyuki for Cowell.
They could get two winners,the latter in the Hepworths & Cellrera Maiden Handicap over 1000m.
A great day of TAB racing is guaranteed and a big holiday crowd is expected for the meeting,first race at 2.53pm.
