The Tas Morton-trained gelding, who had won his previous start over 1900m at Canterbury, led all the way to win the prelude by a length and a half from Walcha gelding Go Dragon.
Morton said the March 16 Armidale Cup was the aim.
“That’s why we came here today, to see if he’d handle the track,” he said.
“That’s the plan now. There’s nothing for him anywhere else.”
Morton trains the son of Eavesdropper for Jim Hack.
“We bought him at the Dubbo sale for $16,000,” Hack said. “He’s been a good horse for us.”
Another Charger has now won eight of his 21 starts for more than $134,000 in prizemoney for Hack who recalled success at Armidale last century .
“We won a race here 20 years ago with a horse called Top Charger,” he recalled.
