Craig Williams' decision to sack boom filly Ortensia as his Stradbroke Handicap mount could have global ramifications for the Melbourne rider.

Ortensia's trainer Tony Noonan will consider campaigning her overseas next season if she wins the $1 million Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday week.

Noonan also hasn't ruled out aiming Ortensia for the Group One Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley in October if she's successful in the Stradbroke.

The Bart Cummings-trained Dane Ripper is the only Stradbroke winner to be successful in the Cox Plate in the same year when she won both features in 1997.

Noonan owns several horses currently racing in England and is keen to campaign Ortensia at Royal Ascot next year.

"Good horses can do good things," Noonan said.

"She'll have to win the Stradbroke first but the Cox Plate is not out of the question and I may have to ring Bart to see how he did it with Dane Ripper.

"I have a lot of options internationally with her next season including Royal Ascot in England, Dubai and Hong Kong.

"Whoever rides her in the Stradbroke will be favoured to ride her overseas.

"I'm going to England in a couple of weeks and I want to find out more about a Group One fillies and mares race they have planned for Ascot next year."

Noonan will be at Newmarket in June to inspect his galloper Buculatti, a last-start Group Three winner at Chester, who he hopes to bring to Australia in the spring for the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups.

"He's won eight races and looks to be pretty good," Noonan said.

Noonan was shocked when informed Williams had chosen the Grahame Begg-trained All Silent as his Stradbroke mount after believing he had a firm commitment from the jockey for Queensland's premier sprint.

Ortensia's connections contemplated a new rider for her in Saturday's Group Two QTC Cup (1300m) at Eagle Farm but after lengthy deliberations decided to stay with Williams.

No rider has been engaged for Ortensia should she make the Stradbroke field but Glen Boss is the frontrunner.

"I wasn't part of the decision making but I'm very disappointed Craig has chosen not to ride Ortensia should she get into the Stradbroke," Noonan said.

"It's a serious situation we now find ourselves in but we've decided to meet our original commitment by keeping Craig on her in the QTC Cup."

Ortensia rocketed into Stradbroke calculations with her explosive victory in the Listed Glenlogan Park Stud Stakes (1350m) at Doomben on May 16.

However, the daughter of Testa Rossa is only 25th in order of entry for the Stradbroke and will need several horses above her to drop out to make the final field if she doesn't win the QTC Cup.

Noonan is confident Ortensia can qualify for the Stradbroke by winning the QTC Cup.

"She's going terrific and whatever beats her will win on Saturday," he said.

"I'm confident with the improving track and from her alley (barrier seven) she'll get into the Stradbroke."
