Superstar trainer Chris Waller has reviewed his runner's performances from Saturday's day of racing.

He had a marvellous day, taking out both the Group 1s at Caulfield with Birdman and Angel Capital, while Autumn Glow continued to build her case as Australia’s best horse.

Speaking on RSN's Correct Weight, Waller reflected on those victories, plus a multitude of other runners as well.

Autumn Glow

Were you nervous at some point during the running of the Seven Stakes?

“I guess so. I was, yeah.”

“You just don't know what to expect in any race when you've got a headline horse and a target horse.

“You've got a scenario yesterday where they went really slow. James (McDonald) wanted to be there because we thought there could have been a bit of pressure from Gringotts.

“Just little things like that, but it was good to see us settle in the mid-stages because Nash (Rawiller) on Gringotts was breathing down our neck, which could have caused Autumn Glow to over-race, but she settled well.

“Then it was a track gallop from there, and a track gallop doesn't have the pressure of a race, so they came with us.

“It was good to see her acceleration, the speed that she's got, it sort of got her not out of trouble, but it showed she can sprint better than four quality rivals in the race.”

Where does Autumn Glow rank among the champions he has trained?

“Oh, she's right up there. She's got the X-factor."

“She’s unique for me because she can race on speed and put herself there, whereas Winx was heart in your mouth stuff all the time - sit back, hope for speed, hope for tempo, track biases were always considered, and you're sort of sweating on luck and three quarters of the field being in front of you.

“She can just put herself anywhere, and she's so versatile. Like she can sprint over 1100m against good horses, 1200m, 1400m, 1600m, 2000m.

“She's right up there with the modern-day champions, isn't she?”

Birdman

What did you take away from his victory in the Underwood Stakes?

“I would take away that he's come back a bigger and stronger horse.

“His first-up run was good, and Saturday’s second-up, 1800m, it was awesome.

“It's good to see him have that acceleration which is required in a weight-for-age type race.”

Do you think Birdman’s best distance long-term is 1600m to 2000m at weight-for-age?

“My gut tells me that.

“It's something you probably have to rely on analytical data… but my gut sort of told me, probably 1800m to 2000m.

“There's so many variables, but I don't think we'll be changing distances too much for his next start.”

What is Birdman’s next race?

“It'll be the Turnbull Stakes or the Might And Power, but again will speak to (the owners).

“I would say it'd be one of the two that are the Turnbull or Might And Power.”

Angel Capital

Is it job down now for Angel Capital after winning a Group 1?

“Yeah, it is.

“If we could back it up with another solid Group 1 win. I've got a theory, horses don't just win one Group 1, they normally win two or more, because if they're good enough to win a Group 1, it's normally not a fluke, and they'll normally put a few together.

“He's just starting a bit later than the others, but he should have been a multiple Group 1 winner by now, and he hasn't through various pieces of luck.”

What do you do with Angel Capital now?

“I'll talk to the Yong team and see what they would like to do.

“A fast-run Everest is a possibility. I think he ran fifth or sixth last year in a slow tempo.

“You've got the 1200m race down the straight, the Darley (Champions Sprint) on the last day of the Flemington Carnival.

“The Toorak over a mile, you could consider it.

“They would be the possibilities I would expect that we'd be discussing.”

Buckaroo

What did you make of Buckaroo’s performance in the Underwood Stakes?

“I thought it was really good, second-up, 1800m, he's carrying a bit of condition. It was a pass mark.

“I'd expect him to peak third-up, which would tell us more.

“You'd go Turnbull or the Might And Power… It'd be nice to think he could get in with a little bit less weight (in the Turnbull).”

Lady Shenandoah

Did Lady Shenandoah lack a knockout punch in the finish of the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes?

“Yeah, it was (a lack).

“I’m sort of still working out her best distance, like she ran in an Everest last year and ran in a Manikato. She doesn't have much luck in those shorter races.

“She's a three-time Group 1 winner from 1400m to 1600m. So maybe the Empire Rose, maybe a Toorak, or maybe back for the Epsom – they would be the three options.

“If we were going to an Empire Rose, we'd fit a race in between.”

Lindermann

Did Lindemann just not handle the Caulfield track?

“I think so, he was never really comfortable.

“Blake (Shinn) said even when he jumped from the barriers, he went right, as if he was jumping in Sydney to go right to the fence.

“Blake said he didn't even feel comfortable going to the start.

“He's done a lot of work in Sydney left-handed, but under race pressure, it's completely different.

“Yeah, it dented our confidence in a big way, so he may come back for the Hill Stakes, but we certainly haven't ruled out a Cox Plate at Flemington, and we certainly haven't ruled out a Turnbull yet.

“He also pulled up with a mild chondritis in his throat, so treatable, but probably had a 5% bearing on his run as well.”

Soulcombe

Did Soulcombe’s run in the Naturalism give you joy?

“Yeah, it sure did, I had a big smile from ear to ear.

“I think he's back now. I look forward to his next start wherever it may be, and how we attack at the Caulfield and Melbourne Cup.

“Because I think he's got to re-qualify because he's been off the scene for so long, so we'll work that out over the next few days, but he's back.”
