Caulfield trainer Peter Moody will play it safe with star filly Black Caviar, electing to miss October’s Group I Thousand Guineas (1600m) to target the Flemington carnival.
Black Caviar tore chest muscles when beginning awkwardly in her Danehill Stakes win, causing the filly to miss a week’s work to allow Moody to assess the three-year-old’s injury.
“She’s almost over the problem but the week’s work missed means we won’t have enough time to get her ready for the Thousand Guineas,” Moody said.
“We’ve decided to take it slowly with her. She got back on the water walker on Monday morning and we’ll be aiming to get her up and running for the Coolmore Stakes.
The Group I Coolmore Stakes will be run on Victoria Derby day, October 31.
