has been off the scene since finishing 11th in the Melbourne Cup (Gr 1, 3200m) in November, after which he was found to have pulled up lame.
"We've got a winter campaign in Brisbane in mind so we have to kick off somewhere and the tracks are still too firm in Melbourne while Randwick's got a good cover of grass at the moment," Australian Bloodstock director Jamie Lovett said.
"The Doomben Cup is a chance but we're looking at the Brisbane Cup with him."
