Trainer Andrew Williamson has taken the safer option and will start Ready To Rip in the Height 4 Hire Handicap at Eagle Farm ahead of his Doomben summer series mission which begins next month.

Ready To Rip was also entered for Saturday's Better Build Construction Handicap (1200m) but will run in the 1000-metre dash in which he has 56.5kg.

Ready To Rip made a surprise comeback following a mixed winter carnival campaign with an easy win in Class 5 company over 1000 metres at Caloundra last week.

Williamson hadn't originally planned to start the son of More Than Ready on his home track on Melbourne Cup day.

"It was an afterthought to run him at Caloundra when he carried 62 kilos and won quite easily," Williamson said.

"I preferred to barrier trial him but he would have carried around the same weight in the trial so I chose to start him in the race instead."

Williamson is plotting a course to the Doomben summer series with Ready To Rip which he hopes will prove a guide as to whether the four-year-old will measure up as an autumn campaigner in Sydney next year.

"I haven't done a lot with him so far so I thought the 1000-metre race would be a better option," Williamson said.

Williamson fears Ready To Rip may struggle over 1000 metres against seasoned sprinters but warned he's more than capable of causing an upset.

"They probably will go too quick for him but if there's a lot of speed he should be able to get a good sit in behind," he said.

"He's headed to the first two legs of the summer series and if he goes well I'll probably get him ready for the Sydney autumn and then bring him back to Brisbane for the Stradbroke Handicap."

Williamson had the option of bringing Ready To Rip back in work earlier to target next month's Group Two Villiers Stakes (1600m) at Warwick Farm but chose to stay on home soil.

"I want to keep him here for the time being. If he's good enough he'll go south in the autumn," he said.

Ready To Rip won first-up last campaign in the Mick Dittman Plate (1000m) at Eagle Farm in April before finishing a close sixth to Military Rose in the Group Three Gold Coast Guineas (1200m) in May.

After finishing fifth to Falino in the Group Three BTC Classic (1350m) at Doomben, Ready To Rip went down by less than a length when fourth in the Listed Daybreak Lover (1400m) won by Steps In Time.

Ready To Rip pulled up lame after finishing 12th to Torio's Quest in his final winter appearance in the Group Two Queensland Guineas (1600m) at Eagle Farm in June.

"He pulled up with muscle soreness after the Guineas," Williamson said.

"He's got such a big stride for a little horse I get a physio in to work on him once a week."
