Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted yesterday at 12:34 AM Journalists Posted yesterday at 12:34 AM A difficult draw in the Gr.1 Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) has prompted Chris Waller to scratch dual acceptor Firestorm (NZ) (Satono Aladdin) in preference for the Gr.2 Dane Ripper Stakes (1300m) at Eagle Farm, paving the way for first emergency and barn mate Coleman (Pierata) to take his place in the Group One. Waller had initially hoped to run the daughter of Satono Aladdin in the day’s main feature but said drawing barrier 16 made her task hard. “If she had a good draw she would definitely be running (in the Stradbroke),” Waller said. “She is good fresh and she has won a Group Two over 1300m and run second in the Coolmore Classic (Gr.1, 1500) beaten a nose. “My gut tells me, leave the Stradbroke, run her in the Dane Ripper and that will have her peaking for the Tatt’s Tiara (Gr.1, 1600m) in two weeks.” View the full article Quote
