Seaway off to Guineas

SEAWAY is likely to be top trainer Chris Waller’s sole runner in the Group 3 Sunshine Coast Guineas on Saturday.

The race holds a special place for Waller with Winx successful in 2015 to begin a streak of wins which now stands at 25, 18 at Group 1 level.

Waller said he was always keen to have runners in the Guineas and at Caloundra.

“We won’t have a big representation at the Sunshine Coast. At this stage Seaway will be our only runner in the Guineas but that could change after I have a talk with my staff,” he said.

Seaway ran second to stablemate Sambro in the Group 2 Queensland Guineas (1600m) at his last start on June 9.

He has won three races, all at Canterbury in Sydney but Waller feels Seaway will have no problems with the big Caloundra track.

Waller has had 46 winners in Queensland this season for $5.9 million prizemoney, a state record.
