Trainer Chris Meagher will aim for the sky and throw in a nomination for next month’s Group 1 Doomben 10,000 if Arentee can place in The Archer at Rockhampton’s Callaghan Park on Sunday.
Arentee is third favourite at $10 for the third running of the 1300 metre Weight-For-Age feature behind $2.20 favourite Strait Acer from the Edwards Cummings stable in Sydney.
The barrier draw on Wednesday will be crucial for Arentee who will be ridden by former champion Singapore jockey Vlad Duric.
Duric, a Caulfield Cup winner, has hit the ground running since deciding to settle permanently in Brisbane after landing a winning treble, including Arentee, at Doomben on April 13.
Arentee will be having his first start at Callaghan Park but has hit form at the right time following his all the way win over 1350 metres at Doomben last start.
