BULLSBROOK-trained Dom To Shoot has drawn barrier 12 in the All-Star Mile (1600m) on March 16 at Caulfield while the favourite and last year’s winner Mr Brightside has drawn barrier 11.

Speaking to Echo News on Wednesday Sean Casey, who co-trains with his son Jake, said Dom To Shoot was very fresh at his first start in Melbourne and was entitled to hold his position in the front end of the field.

“With more work since (and) with the wide barrier in the All-Star we will sit beside Mr Brightside and work our way into the race to be coming home at the finish,’’ he said.

On February 24, the six-year-old gelding ran fourth in the Group 1 Futurity Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield, won by reigning All-Star Mile winner Mr Brightside.

Casey said Dom To Shoot, who was given a wild card entry into Saturday’s race, had impressed the All-Star selection panel.

Jockey Damian Lane retains the ride on Dom To Shoot.

In 2023 Dom To Shoot fell in the Perth Cup while trying to avoid another horse, which had fallen and had to be euthanised.

Fourteen days later after extensive vet checks he raced in a re-run of the cup before rounding out the year with his first Group 1 win in the Northerly Stakes (1800m) in December.
