Sullivan has been in career best form recently with winning doubles at Young and Parkes.
He tasted success at Young with Home in Indiana and Loch Lochy both at double figure odds.
He backed that up with Loch Lochy and Chief Fairman at Parkes last Thursday night.
Loch Lochy and Home in Indiana are trained by Jason Gaffney.
Chief Fairman is trained by Terry Hush and it was a welcome win for connections.
Sullivan hopes to have as many as six drives at Forbes with his best chances of success resting with Kensully, Chief Fairman and Alabama Rose.
Forbes pacers have been in rare form over the last fortnight with Kyalla Luke, owned by David Mason and trained by Nathan Hurst, also scoring at the Young meeting.
And to bring a quartet to Forbes connections, Tuscalaana who has been racing in the Riverina also won.
Rod and Debbie Wenning will also be relieved to see their former star Beetson return to form.
As a youngster Beetson claimed the Group One Bathurst Gold Crown and Eugowra Canola Cup before struggling for form.
Beetson has since changed trainers from part owner Peter Trevor-Jones to Australia’s leading stable of the McCarthy’s at Menangle.
Last Thursday Beetson led all the way at Penrith to win a heat of Carousel (a time honoured race conducted by Sydney provincial clubs).
In this race he encountered strong opposition from another Forbes pacer in Smart Major (Jeffrey Brown).
The meeting starts at 1pm, free entry to Services Memorial Club members.
