What's the betting that after all the to-and-fro nonsense, that Sea Siren DOES start in the Stradbroke? The star 3YO filly has copped a 1.5kgs penalty to take her weight to 54kgs, but that's hardly going to worry her, surely? If she's good enough to win it with 52.5kgs, then she should be able to win it with 54kgs. However - weights are likely to rise 1kg in the likely absence of dual Stradbroke Handicap winner Black Piranha, who was injured in the Doomben 10000. This would put Sea Siren on 55kg

This would put Sea Siren on 55kgs while Saturday's runner-up, Buffering, will carry topweight of 58kgs. The latest comment from trainer John 'OShea is that he and connections will wait until the race 'takes shape' before a final decision on a start for Sea Siren.
