Making plans for Victorian stayer Streetfighter, who resumes an interrupted racing career on Saturday, is not a consideration for trainer Terry Mathrick.
"If he stands up (to another campaign) there are a few nice staying races in Sydney to go for again," Mathrick said.
"He broke down again after his last run and really, he's only a day-to-day proposition now."
Streetfighter was an acceptor in Sydney and Melbourne but Mathrick has decided to keep the stayer closer to home for his return.
"Moonee Valley doesn't really suit him but at this stage of his preparation there is no need to be travelling," Mathrick said.
The six-year-old will line up in the Dominant Hiskens Cup (1514m) with Craig Williams in the saddle.
Streetfighter is no stranger to NSW racing, winning three times during a 2009 spring campaign.
His all-the-way win in the Group Three Newcastle Cup was a career highlight for Mathrick and his family.
Streetfighter has been off the scene since he failed to beat a runner home in two starts during the Perth summer carnival.
Bone chips in his knee were found soon after and, not for the first time, Streetfighter went under the knife.
"That was the third time bone chips have been taken out. He's had them in both knees," Mathrick said.
