Waller's Colt Set to Show Best Side

With Wednesday's Warwick Farm meeting transferred to Randwick on Thursday due to the weather conditions, the opening race of the meeting, Earthlight New To Darley Plate (1100m) sees a field of 10 plus three emergencies having accepted, with only four of the 13 having previously started on race day. Making it an interesting contest due to their unknown ability, as well as the expected Heavy track conditions, trainer Chris Waller will saddle up three runners with Best Side (Not A Single Doubt-Celebrity Appeal, by One Cool Cat) set to carry the number one saddle cloth. A $300,000 Magic Millions National weanling graduate from the draft of Cornerstone Stud before being on sold as a yearling at Inglis Easter for $650,000 to Paul Moroney Bloodstock, the colt races for a group of industry heavyweights including Coolmore Stud, Sir P J Vela, Chris Waller Racing, Woppitt Bloodstock and Peachester Lodge. They are the major ownership group behind Slipper colts O'President (Fastnet Rock) and Home Affairs (I Am Invincible), as well as Starman (Zoustar-You're Dreamin, by Commands), a $500,000 Magic Millions purchase who also contests Thursday's race. Trainer David Payne's race favourite Otelo (Shalaa-Angasi, by Street Boss) is the only raced runner in the top 10 of betting.
