Last month's G1 Queen Of The Turf S. winner Azkadellia (NZ) (Shinko King {Ire}) has been given the green light by trainer Ciaron Maher to line up in Saturday's G1 Doomben 10,000, with the June 11 Stradbroke H. at Eagle Farm her primary end-of-season goal.
“The way she is doing, it will be pretty nice timing to have her right for the Stradbroke,” Maher told Melbourne radio station RSN. “I think a run two weeks out will only bring her on.”
Azkadellia, the current $2.80 favourite for the Doomben 10,000, finished third behind Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}) in the G1 Star Doncaster Mile a week before her Queen Of The Turf score. Maher noted the 4-year-old took a spin around Doomben last week.
“She's galloped on it [Doomben] Tuesday week ago and let down quite nicely,” he said.
