Barry Baldwin believes the recent form of Tegan Harrison makes her the logical choice to ride Mr Light Blue at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

Harrison posted her most important career win at the Gold Coast on New Year's Day when she rode All That to an all-the-way win in the Bat Out Of Hell (900m).

She is the dominant force in the apprentice ranks in Brisbane with 27 wins this season, more than double the number her nearest junior rival, Kirk Matheson who has ridden 13 winners.

"Tegan's a good rider and she always takes particular notice of the instructions you give her which is a good sign in a young rider," Baldwin said.

"She's riding plenty of winners and when young they've their confidence up then can often get on a roll."

Harrison is third on the overall Brisbane jockeys premiership behind Michael Cahill (36) and Chris Munce (34) and is in high demand on Saturday with a full book of rides including last start winners Garozzo in the Open Handicap (1500m) and She's A Danica in the Two-Year-Old Handicap (1000m).

She earned high praise from Baldwin after she rode his improving stayer Flying Home to a last stride win at Doomben on December 22 and says her two kilograms allowance will enhance Mr Light Blue's winning chances in the 2100m Benchmark 90 on Saturday.

"It's a long time since I've used an apprentice on this horse but after Tegan's claim he'll come in with 57kg which isn't too bad and it looks the right race for him," Baldwin said.

"His record over the track and distance is good and he's ready for the step up in journey."

Mr Light Blue finished seventh in the Bernborough Handicap last Saturday which followed a narrow win over 1600 metres at Eagle Farm when he led throughout with Jeff Lloyd aboard.

Baldwin said the grey wasn't suited in the Bernborough and raced like a horse who was looking for a staying trip.

Mr Light Blue will be Baldwin's only runner in the race after he scratched Croatian Quality because the mare is struggling to cope with the recent hot, humid weather.

The gelding is on the third line of betting at $5 with Carry Me Bluey the $4.20 favourite who is striving to give trainer Norm Hilton a farewell win in Brisbane before he shifts his training base to Newcastle later this month.

Hilton says recent prize money increases in NSW compared with stagnant levels in Queensland are behind his decision to leave Toowomba where he has trained for the past 20 years.
