Another One will forgo the opportunity to become the inaugural winner of the $250,000 Barn Dance next Tuesday at Royal Randwick to chase Sunday's Goulburn Cup (1400m) instead.

Trainer Gary Colvin was keen to take part in the first Barn Dance ever run but made sure he had a reservation in Sunday's Cup, just in case.

"Plan A was the Sydney race but the draw wasn't very kind to us," Colvin said.

"It is not as far to go for us this way and Goulburn is a nice track that will suit him.

"I might as have a crack at it (the Goulburn Cup) being a Big Dance qualifier for next year which is a race that is definitely on our radar."

In contrast to Another One's 14 alley in the Barn Dance, the big chestnut was gifted barrier 1 in Sunday's $200,000 feature.

"Barrier one will be alright for him," Colvin said.

"He can have barrier speed and he's not a hard horse to ride. You can get out and going and hold his position, don't get too far back."

Another One has a compelling first-up record of two wins and two placings from six starts including his memorable win in Canberra on Black Opal Day.

"He won the National Sprint first-up and was very strong that day," trainer Colvin said. "He was going away from them on the line.

"I think I have got his fitness right up there."

Another One was ridden in his National Sprint victory by Danny Beasley and the pair have been virtually inseparable since.

Beasley has been putting a lot of time and effort into Colvin's Country Championship Final winner, hanging back after the last race at Wagga on October 23 to take him for a spin around in a 1000m trial.

Another One was a somewhat predictable winner of the Heat but both trainer and jockey were pleasantly surprised by the nature of his seven length win.

"You get a horse that likes a bit of ground and you like to see them finish off a bit but he was sensational," Colvin said.

"He put his ears back and just wanted to hammer.

"Danny said he just loved and when you get a horse loving it like that, they usually run well."

Another One will join the millionaire's club should he win the Goulburn Cup which is a stunning return on Colvin's $18,000 outlay for the Bowness Stud-bred then colt at the 2019 Inglis Yearling Sale.

Another One's dam, Herewegoagain, was a handy mare herself who won six races from 1000m up to 1412m.

Her peak performance was her third in the 2008 Wellington Boot behind Sin Sin Sin who is now remembered as the mother of The Everest winner and current Royal Randwick 1200m course record holder, Yes Yes Yes.
