Leith Innes has been confirmed as the rider for Chance To Dance in the Gr.1 Livamol Classic (2040m) at Hawke’s Bay on Saturday week.

The Stephen Autridge and Jamie Richards-trained gelding won the Listed Haunui Farm Karaka Classic (1600m) at Pukekohe Park in the hands of Opie Bosson, who will partner stablemate Gingernuts in the Hastings feature.

The Gr.1 Windsor Park Plate (1600m) winner is an even money favourite to win the Livamol while Chance To Dance shares the second line of betting at $7 with Mime and Volkstok’n’barrell.
