Chris Waller is sweating on outcome of Damien Oliver's appeal against suspension Trainer Chris Waller has Royal Descent, Foreteller and Hawkspur primed for the Turnbull Stakes. Picture: Brett Costello Source: The Daily Telegraph SYDNEYS all-conquering trainer Chris Waller is awaiting the outcome of Damien Olivers appeal against a careless riding suspension before locking in a rider for outstanding mare Royal Descent in the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes at Flemington on Saturday. Oliver has a booking to ride Royal Descent in her Melbourne debut but this depends on whether he can have his suspension penalty either reduced or quashed on appeal today. The Hall of Fame jockey was suspended for 10 meetings at Moonee Valley on Friday night for causing interference on Mr Moet. Waller also has Foreteller (Craig Newitt) and Hawkspur (Michael Walker) primed for the Turnbull Stakes. The champion trainer has a real opportunity of securing the coveted Epsom Handicap-The Metropolitan Group 1 double at Randwick on Saturday. Waller has three runners in the $500,000 Epsom Handicap (1600m) with early race favourite Boban, last-start Theo Marks Stakes winner Riva De Lago and Doncaster Mile hero Sacred Falls. In-form jockey Glyn Schofield retains the ride on Boban, Jim Cassidy is on Riva De Lago while Kerrin McEvoy is the new rider for Sacred Falls. Schofield and Waller also team up with Moriarty in the $400,000 The Metropolitan (2400m) with the trainer likely to also start I'm Imposing and Lucripetous. The other Group 1 race at Randwick on Saturday is the $400,000 Flight Stakes (1600m) for three-year-old filliesbut Waller conceded Champagne Cath was "only a 20 per cent chance" of backing up from her Reginald Allen Quality win at Rosehill Gardens last Saturday. Gai Waterhouse has already won eight The Metropolitans and is hoping to improve her record further with either Julienas or Ecuador on Saturday. Glencadam Gold, who gave Waterhouse the training record in The Metropolitan when he led all the way last year, won't be given an opportunity to defend that title. Waterhouse has already sent Glencadam Gold to Melbourne and he will line up in the Turnbull Stakes instead. Owner Lloyd Williams has confirmed Seville will contest The Metropolitan and has Hugh Bowman booked for the ride.Williams is still considering a Metropolitan start for Mourayan while stablemate Masked Marvel will line up in the Craven Plate (2000m) $6 HAWKSPUR $7 Royal Descent $11 Super Cool $13 Dandino $17 Dear Demi, Silent Achiever COX PLATE Moonee Valley, Oct 26 $3 ATLANTIC JEWEL $3.40 It's A Dundeel $7 Fiorente, Puissance de Lune $18 Guelph MELBOURNE CUP Flemington, November 5 $5.50 PUISSANCE DE LUNE $8.50 Fiorente $12 Hawkspur $15 Green Moon $17 Mount Athos, Royal Descent Odds: TAB
