Smart filly Plutocrat's run with terrible barrier draws has continued with an outside marble in the Listed Dalrello Stakes at Eagle Farm.

Trainer Chris Anderson believes difficult barriers have stopped Plutocrat from being rated among the best two-year-olds in the Queensland.

Plutocrat lines up in the Listed Dalrello Stakes (1200) at Eagle Farm where her run of bad draws continued when she drew the outside gate in a field of 12.

The filly, who was former top sprinter Rich Enuff's first winner as a sire, ran second in the Listed Bill Carter Stakes at her last start.

Anderson said Plutocrat would have won the Carter with a decent barrier.

"The fact she has won a race and been stakes-placed is a credit to her ability," Anderson said.

"We have had to ride her back in the field. I would love to see her be able to get up on the pace."

Anderson said because Plutocrat was raced but Glenlogan Park Stud it was important she got black-type.

"There aren't a lot of black-type races left for fillies this season so we have to press on," he said.

The Dalrello Stakes is usually a guide to the future with recent winners Sir Moments, Mishani Hustler, Absalon and Crack Me Up going on to be stakes winners as older horses.
