Azkadellia
Ciaron Maher will be without two of his stable's big guns during the autumn, but the trainer still has enough horsepower to make an impact.
Group One winners Set Square (Reset) and Srikandi (Dubawi) will be missing from autumn action but on Saturday at Caulfield exciting Kiwi mare Azkadellia (NZ) (Shinko King) resumes in the Bellmaine Stakes while two-year-old Emphatically contests the Blue Diamond Prelude for fillies.
Maher's VRC Oaks winner Jameka (Myboycharlie) makes her return on Saturday week.
Azkadellia was unlucky in the Group One Myer Classic last spring when flashing home for third and Maher has Doncaster Mile hopes for the mare.
"She's still a bit soft going into Saturday but she's had a couple of soft trials and she's ticking over well," he said.
"I'm sort of hoping her class can carry her a long way."
