John O'Shea, trainer of Sea Siren, the favorite for the $1 million Stradbroke Handicap at Eagle Farm on Saturday, has issued a shock warning to punters on the eve of the race. He has told TVN that Sea Siren is NOT a certain starter, and no decision will be made until Saturday morning, after the track is inspected. O'Shea says if the track is heavy, Sea Siren will NOT run. Sea Siren is a last start winner of the Group 1 Doomben 10,000, beating another Stradbroke contender, Buffering, on a dead track. Sea Siren has never won on a track rated worse than dead. Her only exposure to a slow surface was in the Surround Stakes in March when she ran second to Streama.
