Inclement weather might spice up proceedings in the Verry Elleegant Stakes, however trainer Chris Waller intends to disregard forecasts until race day.

The Bureau of Meteorology predicts a spectrum of rain amounts this week, from just 4mm to nearly 60mm.

Star mare and dominant favourite Autumn Glow has proven versatile on different surfaces, including heavy 10 going in August’s Toy Show Quality (1100m), but her effectiveness there in a Group 1 is yet to be tested.

Waller is keeping track conditions out of his mind presently.

“I’ll worry about it Saturday morning,” Waller said.

“If you worry about it before then, you start bringing things in that you have no control over and you can lose sight of other things. Yes, it’s a factor. But as long as it’s safe, she will be running.

“They’ve got the tracks in Sydney pretty good at the moment . . . There will be room for a bit of rain.”

Unbeaten in nine races, Autumn Glow has emerged as a major force, convincingly beating fellow stable runners Aeliana and Lindermann in the Apollo Stakes (1400m) on her latest outing after moving to weight-for-age.

Those two will line up against her once more in the Group 1 Verry Elleegant Stakes (1600m) over Randwick’s track on Saturday, potentially improving with the step up in trip.

“They’re a bit more comfortable at the distance,” Waller said.

“But it’s hard to quantify, Autumn Glow might be better too.”

Waller boasts a strong record with seven wins from the last 10 runnings, four achieved by Winx from 2016-2019, and public confidence is high in Autumn Glow continuing the streak at $1.30 in early betting.
