Local trainer Danny Williams is hoping he can make an impact at Goulburn on Tuesday when he saddles up three leading chances.
Williams will combine with jockey Nick Heywood, who partners Rogue Nation in the 13 Skips Country Boosted Maiden Handicap (1200m) and Highway Strip in the Goulburn Hay Supplies Class 3 Benchmark 66 Handicap (1300m).

He will then have Black Opal winning jockey Pierre Boudvillain ride Silver Serenade in the Doyles Seafood Restaurant Benchmark 58 Handicap (1100m).
Rogue Nation has only had one start for a third at Wagga and Williams believes he is a galloper with talent.
“His trials were sound before he had his first start at Wagga, and he ran a good race there on debut,” said Williams. “He came through that run well, and he’s had another trial since then and won that at Goulburn.
“Tuesday’s race looks suitable for him, and he should run very well.”
Highway Strip has had 11 starts for two wins and three seconds and has been contesting city grade races since resuming from a spell.
“He lined up in The Kosciuszko in the spring, and he wasn’t disgraced when beaten around seven lengths,” Williams said.
“He resumed with a fourth at Randwick and then wasn’t beaten too far in his next start at that track despite finishing ninth behind Kreon.
