Chris Waller has picked a tough assignment for Rangirangdoo’s return with the Doncaster winner to take on this year’s favourite More Joyous in the Canterbury Stakes.

The Gai Waterhouse-trained mare is going into the race off a Group One win in the Futurity Stakes in Melbourne.

More Joyous is the $3 favourite for the Doncaster on April 16 with Rangirangdoo a $13 chance to defend his title.

He hasn’t raced since he won the Doncaster due to ongoing feet and joint issues but has been primed for his return with two recent barrier trials.

Stablemate Triple Elegance is also entered for the Group Two Canterbury Stakes (1300m).

“At this stage Rangirangdoo will be my only runner in the race,” Waller said.

There were 11 entries for the Canterbury Stakes including Melito who is also nominated for the Coolmore Classic but minus Hot Danish who was ruled out with a leg infection which needed treatment.

Waller doesn’t have a Coolmore runner but will be represented by Hawk Island in the other Group One of the day, the Ranvet Stakes (2000m).

While the main focus at Rosehill is the Group One racing and the Todman and Reisling Slipper Trials, much of the attention will be on Waller who is aiming to maintain his winning streak at his home track.

He has prepared at least one winner at the past 24 Rosehill Saturday meetings starting with Danleigh in the George Ryder Stakes last year.

Danleigh will defend his title on April 2 and Waller said he hoped the winning streak wasn’t broken before then.

“It started with Danleigh and it would be nice if it was still there when he runs in the Ryder again,” he said.

Waterhouse will be represented in the Coolmore by Montana Flyer and More Strawberries.
