Trainer Kevin Kemp insists only bad luck can stop him going close to winning a record fifth Listed Weetwood Handicap at Toowoomba on Saturday.

The Weetwood has been run for 120 years and is regarded as the premier provincial sprint race in Queensland.

For the first time it will be run as a part of a metropolitan meeting at Toowoomba.

The Weetwood is a highly sought-after race among Toowoomba trainers.

Kemp is no different to his peers and he has already won the Weetwood four times with Typhoon Red (2014), Tellem (2005 and 2007) and Startell (2001).

He holds the record for most Weetwood wins with former top Toowoomba trainer Bill Nielsen.

A victory on Saturday would ensure Kemp equals trainer John Wallace's record of most wins in a Toowoomba feature event.

Wallace has won the Toowoomba Cup five times.

"Anyone from up this way wants to win a Weetwood. To win it four times has been great, to win it a fifth time would be even better," Kemp said.

He trained first and second last year when Typhoon Red beat Kempelly in a tight finish and the pair will line up again.

"Things have gone along just as I wanted. In one word it has been fantastic," Kemp said.

The handicapper has been kind to the Kemp runners because they both have the limit weight.

Sydney trainer Gai Waterhouse will have three runners at the meeting.

Her middle-distance galloper Pornichet is topweight for the Toowoomba Cup with 60.5kg.

Pornichet has not raced since starting favourite in the Group One Doncaster Mile on April 6 after missing the the Group Two Hollindale Stakes last Saturday when he was made an emergency.

Waterhouse will start $1 million yearling Red Knot in the Dalrello Stakes and Skylimit in the Toowoomba Guineas.
