Hopefully there will be no low-level horizontal layered Stratus cloud to rain on Simon Miller's parade when he brings promising 3 year old Hurricane Sky gelding Wild Stratus to the track on Saturday, however, if it does rain later in the day as potentially forecast then we know he can still get the job done after an impressive grinding victory in the wet first-up. Second-up he tackled older opposition, drawing terribly in barrier 14 he thundered to the line late in the race down the outside to finish within a length of in-form Peters' mare Celebrity Miss, safely accounting for the likes of Fiddlers Elbow, Dream Lifter, Back to a Walk, King of the Palace, Mendicity and Miki Two Toes. Dropping back to 3 year old company should suit and will again have to contend with an outside gate, Brayden Gaerth gets a rare Saturday opportunity and having ridden Eurosun to victory on Wednesday will be looking to again repay his stable's faith. Carries 55.5kg after the claim and looks one of the better bets on the card. Expecting a much improved effort second up from Lenience, should find the lead from barrier 3 for Lucy Warwick and prove the one to run down. Can fight on hard when finding the top much like older stablemate Inok and looks excellent place value at $3+. Mireille doesn't know how to run a bad race and the $26 is tempting as a roving banker type for the first four, only missed the money twice at Belmont Park and finshed inside the first 4 at 11 of her 16 career starts. Plenty of hopes behind a favourite who looks a class above them.
