Stanley saddled up Coming In Hot in the $150,000 Western Districts Qualifier at Dubbo on February 19 only to see him finish a disappointing 10th.
On Sunday, Coming In Hot will contest the $50,000 Country Championships Wild Card event at Scone, where the first two past the post will advance to the Final at Royal Randwick on April 1.
Chad Lever will have the ride from barrier nine in what shapes as an extremely competitive race fought between horses who missed out in their respective Qualifiers.
All Summer Long ran third in the Hunter and North West Qualifer and will jump from barrier 10 while Cody Morgan’s Art D’Amour has won all his races except the North West event, where he ran 10th.
The race is at 4.45pm.
