Glen Kotzen is aiming for the top with his Premiers Champion winner Eyes Wide Open.

He said: “The horse has had a good break and has now started working again. His targets are the Cape Guineas and the Cape Derby and he could go for the Selangor (Nov 18) first. He is going to be a proper horse.”

Kotzen won last season’s Selangor with Gold Standard who went on to finish second to William Longsword in the Guineas and fourth to Whisky Baron in the Sun Met.
