Golden Slipper-winning trainer Bruce Brown hasn't given up hope of figuring again on the honour roll for the world's richest two-year-old race.

Brown's youngster Lujac is one of only a handful of Brisbane-trained horses to make the second acceptance stage for the $3.5 million Golden Slipper at Rosehill on March 21.

Lujac has run third at his only two starts and is a $13 chance in the Sky Racing TV Handicap (1050m) at Doomben on Saturday.

On paper, the Golden Slipper may be optimistic for Lujac but no one would dispute Brown's ability to pinpoint a future big-race winner.

He trained Calaway Gal to win the 2002 Golden Slipper and Emma's Affair to win the 1995 $1 million Pelican Waters Classic.

Brown keeps a small stable but has won a string of other big races with horses such as Starmaker (Prime Ministers Cup), Dixie Kid (Ipswich Cup), Halison (BTC Stakes) and Morning Lover (BTC Breeders' Classic).

He comes from one of New Zealand's best-known racing families with his father Syd Brown the trainer of legendary gallopers such as Triton and Daryl's Joy.

Brown said his high opinion of Lujac seemed to grow each day.

"I don't have many horses and it gives you a chance to concentrate on them," he said. "When I first got Lujac in for a campaign he got a virus and then he didn't take to being gelded.

"This time he has gradually matured. Each day I look at him and think you are getting bigger and better."

Brown said it was obviously a big step up from a Doomben two-year-old race to winning the Golden Slipper.

"I have an opinion this horse will make it eventually. Maybe, it won't be this campaign and people will say we aimed too high," he said.

"But it cost us $2000 to be a second acceptor. If he wins his next two starts in Brisbane we would be saying perhaps the Slipper isn't a dream."

Lujac was a fast-finishing third at his first start at Ipswich and then over-raced when leading when in the minor placing again at Doomben two weeks ago.
