The decision to geld talented three-year-old Hus Der Lieften is one Gerald Ryan believes will help him fulfil his potential.

A $1.2 million yearling, Hus Der Lieften was spruiked as a top liner as a late two-year-old and early three-year-old.

But since his win in The Rosebud on the first day of the season, Hus Der Lieften's best performance has been a third in the Listed Strada Stakes in March.

"It has made a huge difference to him, he's a different horse," Ryan said.

"He is easy to work with and has been going well."

Ryan will be able to confirm how well he is when Hus Der Lieften runs in a barrier trial at Rosehill on Tuesday morning after which he will decide on the rest of his campaign.

"He is entered for two races at Rosehill on Saturday and I'll make up my mind after the trial," Ryan said.

"If he doesn't run at Rosehill on Saturday he will run a week later with the Queensland Guineas the race we are aiming at."

The Group Two Queensland Guineas (1600m) is at Eagle Farm on June 12.

A definite runner for Ryan at Rosehill will be Dances On Waves in the Benchmark 75 Handicap (1400m).

The four-year-old mare's career has been restricted to five starts due to a bout of pneumonia which almost claimed her life in the autumn of 2009.

After more than a year off, Dances On Waves returned on April 10 this year to win at Newcastle before running sixth in the Darley Crown at Hawkesbury on May 1.

"At her first start she ran second to Palacio De Cristal then won her next start," Ryan said.

"Then after her next start at Warwick Farm she got sick.

"She nearly died, it was touch and go for a while.

"If I had known the track at Hawkesbury was going to be dead I wouldn't have run her.

"She is a lovely mare and if the problems she's had don't come against her, I think she could win a really nice race.

"She will certainly win city races."

The feature event at Rosehill is the W J McKell Cup (2400m) with just 10 horses entered on Monday.

Common Objective and Music Review, who finished one-two in the Lord Mayor's Cup last Saturday week, are set to do battle again.

Sunday's Queanbeyan Cup winner Carski Drum was also among the nominations along with Chris Waller-trained stablemates Bellagio Wynn and Warringah.

Ryan trains last year's McKell Cup winner Ready To Lift who will contest Saturday's Group One Doomben Cup (2020m) on her way to the Brisbane Cup in which she ran second last year.
