WALLER’S TRIPLE ATTACK ON THE FIVE DIAMONDS

THE barriers haven’t fallen Chris Waller’s way in the $2 million Five Diamonds (1800m) at Rosehill with his trio of runners all drawing poorly.

Waterford will start from the outside barrier of 14, Democracy Manifest from nine and Hinged from 11 in the race restricted to five-year-olds which will be run for the second time.

Waller said each of his runners are in form and deserve to win a big race such as this and are capable of overcoming their poor draws.

Waller will back Hinged up after she finished eighth behind Pride Of Jenni at Flemington in the Empire Rose Stakes last Saturday.

Waller said Hinged would be suited by the soft track.

“Democracy Manifest is looking for 1800 metres and he’s ready to go with Nash Rawiller on,” he said.

Waller said the Five Diamond was the race Waterford, who finished third at his last start in the Five Diamonds Prelude behind Palmetto over 1500m at Randwick had been set for.

“We’ve carefully plotted our way to this race which is his Grand Final. He gets his chance.”

Top Brisbane galloper Antino who was unlucky at his last start in Melbourne is $3.10 favourite with PlayUp. Democracy Manifest is $8.50, Waterford is $14 and Hinged is $19. View Our NEW Form Guide Here
