Crazy Brave – a Bailey Wheeler mount - lines up for only his seventh start in the Class 1 Handicap over 1400 metres.

A son of dual Group 1-winner Zoustar, Crazy Brave's grand-dam Sansadee was the dam of Group 1-winner and Group 1-producer Brazen Beau.

Brazen Beau started 12 times for five wins and four seconds.

Brazen Beau's career included Group 1 victories in the Coolmore Stud Stakes and Newmarket Handicaps at Flemington before finishing his career in England.

Crazy Brave was bred at Peachester Lodge in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland by Linda and Graham Huddy.

The Huddys are among the nation's biggest owners.

The Huddys were originally based at Mount Isa before they sold their earth moving operation in 2008 and relocated six years later to Peachester Lodge.

They enjoyed great success with a number of top class horses including former Queenslander, Shoot Out.

Shoot Out won 10 races, including five Group 1s.

Shoot Out claimed the Australian Derby, Randwick Guineas, All Aged Stakes and two Chipping Norton Stakes in Sydney.

"We race a couple of horses for the Huddys in Brisbane and Sydney and we've had some success together," Annabel Neasham's Brisbane stable manager Todd Pollard said.
