Daren’s son Angus will be in the sulky for the 2138m trip at The Creek.
The young gun recently passed 100 wins for the season, his fifth successive year of reaching the ton.
A win in the family-owned runner on Saturday night would cap off a superb month for the 21-year-old reinsman.
“It would be really special, we’ve bred him ourselves and he’s been a great horse to us – he’s won a feature already, so it would be great to win this race and lock on to The Eureka,” Angus said.
“I had a really good start to the year, my first three or four months were really strong and it’s obviously a long way to that total at the end of the year but hopefully we can pick up speed a little bit and might get near 200 wins.
“It’s a great time of year, I love it – you get the best horses, the best drivers, the best trainers and big money.
“I’ve been lucky enough to win a couple of good races so far and to pick up another one would be super exciting.”
The rising star is coming off the back of posting the biggest victory of his career to date at Redcliffe three weeks ago.
Garrard was on board to guide the Darren Weeks-trained Sinabun to victory in the Redcliffe Yearling Sale Race Series 2YO Final.
Again, it was the family connection that paid dividends for Angus, with the two-year-old owned by grandfather CJ and long-standing Garrard ally, Chris Essex.
