Trainer Doug Harrison will push on with plans to run last-start failure Tan Tat Brav in the Listed Creswick Stakes at Flemington on Saturday.

Harrison said the exciting three-year-old had seemingly taken no harm from a barrier incident which led to his lacklustre performance in the Adapt Australia Handicap (1000m) at Moonee Valley on May 29.

After becoming fractious and momentarily cast in the barriers vets declared Tan Tat Brav was fit to run at the Valley but he showed no speed and was under pressure at the 600m.

In contrast to his first-up win at Sandown where he was unextended going to the line, the colt trailed the field home at Moonee Valley , finishing nearly six lengths behind the winner Our Baby Bonus.

Harrison blamed the barrier incident for the poor showing and reported to stewards last week that the horse had taken no harm from the experience.

"I haven't found anything untoward except for a bit of muscle tightness," Harrison said.

"He doesn't look to have anything greatly wrong with him and I think he just got upset on the day with all that happened to him.

"It was one of those spur of the moment things vets have got to make a decision on, but he should not have run."

"The good thing is he went back in the barriers and that was probably the best he's jumped out in all of starts.

"While he jumped well he didn't get going at all which was foreign to what he's done before."

A $360,000 yearling, Tan Tat Brav looked a star in the making when he won his race debut by seven lengths at Bendigo in July last year but he pulled up shin sore after his next run when second at Moonee Valley.

He later had a knee operation for bone chips and was diagnosed as a roarer which also required a throat operation.

He made his comeback to racing last month at Sandown where he scored a soft half length win over 1000 metres on a heavy track.

Harrison said Tan Tat Brav was vulnerable second-up over 1000 metres at the Valley with the edge off him but he wanted to give him an extra run before the Creswick (1200m) which he sees as a chance for the colt to get some black type before a spring campaign.

He admitted the events of last start had dented his confidence in the horse and that he was considering a gear change at Flemington, most likely a cross over nose band.

Steven King, who has ridden Tan Tat Brav at his two runs this campaign, will again be offered the ride.

Past Creswick winners have included Bow Mistress, King Phoenix, Rose Of Marizza, Apple Danish, Mr Royston, Naden, Recapitalize and last year Red Element.

Mick Price holds the key to Saturday's feature with stablemates Dubleanny, who has won four of her six starts including her last three in a row, and Our Baby Bonus who is unbeaten in four starts.
