馃摪 Aeliana's trainer Chris Waller spoke on the Big Sports Breakfast this morning and told him "it's very unlikley" the mare will run in the Melbourne Cup. If she doesn't tackle the Cup, she is "a good chance" to run in G1 Champions Stakes over 2000m.
Waller is leaning towards a spell for Birdman, but the Champions Stakes remains an option.
Joliestar "most likely" runs in the Champions Sprint.
