Beer will have 10 runners across the seven race card.
The Border's biggest trainer landed a winning double at Albury's most recent meeting a fortnight ago and will be looking for a similar result on Saturday.
The ultra-consistent Jawwaal broke through for a deserved victory on that occasion and will target back-to-back victories in the $22,000 Class 2 Hcp, (1500m).

Beer said the son of Snitzel looks his best chance on what looks like a tough meeting for punters.
"He lumped 61.5kg to victory last-start at Albury after running third at Bendigo three days earlier when he was a run short," Beer said.
"He has thrived in the past fortnight and loves racing at Albury.
"He has a sticky draw (10) but has a terrific amount of early speed and I would be surprised if he wasn't the leader in the race.
"He doesn't have to lead but he has got a good cruising speed that he can quicken off and we will use that.
"I definitely rate him my best hope on the day."
Jawwaal will be ridden by stable jockey Jordan Mallyon after being partnered by Kayla Nisbet last-start.
Beer pinpointed Signal Hill as another strong winning hope.
The lightly raced mare is on the quick back-up after finishing runner-up at Wodonga last Saturday.
Signal Hill was badly held-up from the 400m mark and didn't see daylight until the final 100m where she flashed home late.
"Signal Hill should have won last Saturday when badly held-up," he said.
"She has pulled-up well and never really did any work in the run and will be hard to beat as well."
Beer was also upbeat about the chances of Cardinet in the $22,000 Benchmark 66 Hcp, (1175m).
"She won first-up for the stable at Wagga after having a throat operation and looks a progressive mare in the making."
