Champion riders Hugh Bowman and Tommy Berry take on the Queensland based Jim Byrne, Damian Browne and Tim Bell.
Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has posted the NSW team at $1.75 favourite to ride more winners, at the Gold Coast, than the Maroon trio, who are $2.00.
Favourite backers can also get set at the meeting. The odds, for four favourites to salute is $11 with two favourites heading the market at $2.80.
“Cries of ‘we were robbed’ are still echoing in the Sunshine State after NSW levelled the Origin series in Melbourne. The Maroons have a great chance to get one up on the NSW jocks at the Gold Coast. It’s three against two, the locals have a solid book of rides and there won’t be a referee in sight,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Will Byrne.
