Champion trainer Chris Waller has an abundance of high-calibre colts available to him.

Four of Waller’s colts are heading to the Run To The Rose at Rosehill on Saturday, while at Flemington, his three-year-old colt team is divided between the Poseidon Stakes (1100m) and the Michael Moroney (1400m).

Somethings Burnin’ is set to compete in the latter event, a race that Waller indicated could serve as a pathway to the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) scheduled for October 10.

The colt achieved a maiden victory at Sandown over 1200m upon resuming on August 19, and then returned to the same track on September 2, where he was beaten in a field of five.

Waller commented that Somethings Burnin’s last start was a disappointing affair.

“Blake (Shinn) said he was a bit keen and thought he would take him down behind the other runners and it might shut him down a touch,” Waller said.

“If he stayed out behind the other runners, he might have got a bit free and as soon as he got down there, he was snookered.

“He was travelling a bit too well to come back behind the heels and come around.

“It wasn’t easy watching it, but when he explained it to me, I was comfortable.”

The Michael Moroney Stakes has a history of producing Caulfield Guineas winners, with Griff winning in 2024. Waller stated that he would not rule out Somethings Burnin’ from participating in the prestigious stallion-making race next month.

“He could be,” Waller replied.

“I was thinking he didn’t have too hard a run last time, so he can back up here on the nice big track, whereas he could go to Caulfield and have another bad luck story.”

Godolphin colt Diameter will join Somethings Burnin’ on Saturday. Diameter is second-up, having finished third over 1300m at Rosehill last month.

Ben Melham will ride Somethings Burnin’, with Sydney-based Jason Collett set to partner Diameter.
