Chris Waller has already expressed his dominance as the country’s No. 1 trainer this winter carnival and his momentum seems unlikely to stop in Saturday’s Group 1 Queensland Oaks (2200m) at Eagle Farm with a three-pronged attack.

Waller, who has landed the Doomben Cup with Birdman and Queensland Derby with Providence in recent weeks, saddles up Panova ($3.50f), Chispa ($7.50) and Soverato ($13).

Panova has not raced since taking the Australasian Oaks (2000m) at South Australia’s Morphettville circuit six weeks ago but Waller remains upbeat she is ready for the task.

“She’s come through, not just her win in South Australia, but the trip overall, really well,” he said.

“We’ve always thought she’s a decent horse, and I think we’ve got her where we need her to be. Plus, she’s drawn well, which helps.”

From gate six, she is inside her stablemates Chispa (20) and Soverato (eight), who ran second and sixth in The Roses (2000m) two weeks ago.

“All three of my horses are fit and well,” Waller said. “I saw them all gallop at the Gold Coast on Tuesday morning and I couldn’t have been happier with all three.”

Meanwhile, owner Linda Huddy is daring to dream with Silvasista, who finished an eight-length 10th in the South Australian Derby (2518m) back on May 2.

Huddy developed an unfortunate affliction for racing when her star galloper Shoot Out – who was trained by Waller later in his career - gave her immediate success in the sport, earning more than $3.2 million after being bought for just $15,000.

“It’s terrible when you get a good one early,” Huddy said. “You’re just hooked then, and it’s hard to replicate.

“We’ve been trying to get another one ever since.”

Horses like Pretty Brazen and Preferment have provided Huddy with thrills and now Silvasista is showing plenty of promise, landing the VRC St Leger (2800m) at Flemington just two starts ago.

And she’s quick to find excuses in the Derby outing, hoping a weather reversal can change their fortunes this weekend.

“It rained for four hours straight from midday to the time the South Australian Derby was run and she didn’t like that. It put her out of play,” Huddy said.

“She looked to be travelling so well until she was asked for an effort, but she didn’t pick up.

“It should be a good track for the Oaks and that’s what we wanted.”

Trained by the father-son operation of Tony and Calvin McEvoy, Silvasista seemingly has the opposite problem to most of her rivals with the 2200m journey perhaps too short rather than long, an issue that has not been lost on Tony.
