Meanwhile, Beer has set his sights on group three glory with Kiwi import Hanger.
The five-year-old snuck into the field for the $128,000 Elvis Thurgood 40th Anniversary Cup (1400m) at Caulfield on Saturday.
Teo Nugent will take the ride from six.
Hanger has impressed since coming to Australia with an Echuca Cup win, followed by a close second at Rosehill two Saturdays ago.
Meantime, Wagga jockey Nick Heywood enjoyed his first success since his return at Gundagai on Sunday.
Heywood was out for nine months.
