Mnementh endured a frustrating preparation, having six starts before finally winning at Albury Racing Club's recent twilight meeting.
The four-year-old gelding also finished runner-up on three occasions including twice as favourite.
Beer said Mnementh would form part of his assault on the Country Championships which will be staged at Wagga in February.
"It was a huge relief to actually see him win a race after such a luckless preparation," Beer said.
"His rating is high enough now to go straight to the Country Championship qualifier, so I don't have to worry about him qualifying.
"He won over the distance of the Championships (1400m) the other day and it was a solid win after just having no luck previously.
"We still haven't seen the best of him and I'm pretty excited to have him as one of my Country Championship contenders."
