A wide barrier is hardly a concern to Gai Waterhouse as she aims to win her first Australian Derby with Laser Hawk at Royal Randwick tomorrow.
"We are not worried about the barrier [13]," Waterhouse told the Sydney Daily Telegraph. "He is a big horse that likes to roll along, it doesn't make a difference to him."
She believes we are yet to see the best of her lightly raced galloper despite him already being a group one winner.
"The 2400m is ideal and exactly what he needs."
Randwick clocker Craig Tompson agreed, claiming that Laser Hawk appears to be peaking for the Australian Derby.
