Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 3 Journalists Share Posted March 3 James McDonald returns to the mounting yard on Aeliana after winning the Carbine Club Stakes at Flemington. (Morgan Hancock/Racing Photos) The Chris Waller-trained Aeliana will once again face some of Australia’s top colts and geldings in the Group 1 Randwick Guineas (1600m). “The Thousand Guineas is so late she needed an extra two weeks in the paddock, so she’s a bit behind the others,” Waller explained about the filly, who finished second in the Group 1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) last spring. “It’s worked out well, but hopefully we’re not asking too much of her, because it is hard taking on the boys.” Since the Canterbury Guineas became the Randwick Guineas and dropped from 1900m to 1600m in 2006, Mosheen – the 2012 winner – remains the only filly to beat the boys. Aeliana made her return against the colts and geldings in the Group 2 Hobartville Stakes (1400m) at Rosehill on February 22, finishing third to Broadsiding and Swiftfalcon, beaten by just over a length. Aeliana is on the third line of betting with horse racing betting sites at a $4.50 quote for Saturday’s Randwick Guineas.
