Wasted Emotions looks set for a return clash with News Alert with the pair on a collision course towards next month's Listed Ramornie Handicap at Grafton.

They fought out the finish in the Group Three W J Healy Stakes (1200m) at Eagle Farm on June 20 with the Con Karakatsanis-trained News Alert overhauling Wasted Emotions to win by three-quarters of a length.

Goulburn trainer Danny Williams said Wasted Emotions had done well since the run and would definitely head to the $130,000 Ramornie (1200m) on July 15.

"I might run him at Eagle Farm on Saturday, if not we'll hold off for the Ramornie," Williams said.

"We've been very happy with him, he ran a nice race the other day and has come through it well, he's such an honest performer."

Wasted Emotions boasts an impressive record of 10 wins and three seconds from 21 starts.

Karakatsanis indicated after News Alert's win in the Healy Stakes the gelding would head to the Ramornie.

Williams took a team of nine from his home base in the NSW Southern Tablelands to Queensland with Samtheflirt giving the trainer his first winner of the campaign at Eagle Farm on June 20.

Wet tracks have kept the six-year-old in his box since but Williams is keen to give him another Queensland run soon.

"He's an absolute dry tracker, so I'm hoping the rain stops and we can get him back out there," Williams said.

"He's a horse we've always had an opinion of and he's really starting to put it together."

Samtheflirt came with a big run to edge out the fast finishing Dalzar by a short half head in the Hamilton Hotel Handicap (1400m).

Karakatsanis, who won the Stradbroke Handicap with Black Piranha, plans to set News Alert for the major sprint race during the Melbourne spring after he contests the Ramornie.

In 2007, his first year of training, Karakatsanis finished the Grafton carnival as the leading trainer with seven winners over the five days of racing.

A year earlier, his father Tony trained Black Piranha to win his maiden at Grafton.
