Gai Waterhouse's promising stayer Common Objective may go to Brisbane after running in the Winter Cup at Rosehill on Saturday.

Stable spokesman Mark Webbey says: 'He's improved from that run and we are looking to take him up to Brisbane if he runs well on Saturday...There aren't that many options to run him down here and we are heading into the Grafton Cup, which seems like a nice race for next month.'

Friday's Hawkesbury meeting has been abandoned due to wet weather. The track copped 31mm of rain overnight on top of over 100mm in the last eight days. More rain is forecast.
