It’s been a few years since Michael Stanley campaigned in Queensland, but the Burrumbeet trainer-driver is planning to take a team of three up north to chase riches in the Sunshine State.
Stanley is plotting a hit-and-run mission with top mare Iolanta, Group 1-winning three-year-old Bar Room Banta and classy filly Soho Broadway, who are set to tackle key feature races in the coming weeks.
All three will race on Saturday, July 17 at Albion Park, with Iolanta pinned for the Group 1 The Golden Girl and Bar Room Banta and Soho Broadway the South East Derby and Oaks respectively. The latter two are then hoped to back-up into the Queensland Derby and Queensland Oaks – both at the elite level – a week later.
