EIGHT jockeys have riding appointments in Bundaberg on February 1 and the majority are women.
Hannah English, Louise Dillon and Hannah Phillips have full books after taking rides in each of the five events.
Additionally Isabella Robjones and Kelly Gates have four mounts and Melissa Cox and Natalea Summers have engagements in three races apiece.
Maurie Crawford (Mr Fuji, Eve's Jet and Marrew Ronnie) and Robbie Faehr (Wild Element and Dexter Command) complete the riding ranks.
English will be riding Ruby Lil (race one), Bootshaker (two), Bennelong (three), Awase Dazzler (four) and Schindler (five).
Dillon's book comprises Bauhinia Drum (one), Blue Jest (two), Mountebank (three), Omnia Tidak Takut (four) and Layla's Lad (five).
Targets (one), Margot (two), First Bid (three), Bucks Me Boy (four) and Suzi Bel (five) will team with Phillips and Rabjones will be aboard More Worldly (two), Queen Consort (three), Senator Elect (four) and Warners Landing (five).
Respective connections have booked Gates for Dave's Valour (two), Aussie Tycoon (three), Sentein (four) and Dia Vernon (five).
The three rides for Cox are Rockshore (one), Atomic Missle (three) and The Orange Muppet (four) and Summers is on Miss Literati (one), Haylee Prince (three) and Hopeful Son (four).
The Jared Wehlow stable is well fancied to win the Benchmark 60 Handicap (1400m) at Yeppoon on the same day.
Wehlow has accepted with Strawberry Blonde (Dream Ahead-Peace Alliance-Choisir) as the four-year-old chases her third career victory.
Strawberry Blonde, to be ridden by Luke Dillon, won a Class 1 at Callaghan Park in Rockhampton in June and is coming off successive placings over 1200m and 1400m there on January 8 and 22, respectively.
Former jockey Ken Waller will again be wearing his trainer's badge to saddle Hey Doll for the Dalby Leagues Club Benchmark 60 Handicap (1400m).
Hey Doll (Instinction-Monmagic) has a win on the Dalby track to her credit and Waller, as good as any country and regional jockey in his day, will hand the reins to Skye Bogenhuber.
Topweight He's A Moral, once trained in Victoria by Darren Weir, is the nominal favourite for the Dalby Diehards Cannonball (1000m).
Local mentor David Reynolds is sticking with Leeanne McCoy, who has ridden He's A Moral in its past five runs.
Reynolds took control of He's A Moral in the spring of 2018 and late last year they found a purple patch of form with consecutive wins at Dalby and Mt Perry between November 2 and 23.
He's A Moral's only run in 2020 is in stark contrast to his late 2019 form after he finished with the tailenders in the Country Cup at the Gold Coast on January 4.
