Following a narrow fresh defeat at Listed level, War Machine went one better at Caulfield second-up when stepping up to 1400m.

The Hayes-trained galloper was able to secure a Stradbroke Handicap slot when bolting in with the BRC Sprint third-up at Doomben and he carries 3.5kg less for this Group 1 assignment.

At $2.35 with EliteBet, War Machine heads the market for the 2025 Stradbroke Handicap.

The Hayes brothers also prepare Rise At Dawn ($8) and this four-year-old does look better placed back to handicap level following a fifth-of-ten finish in the Kingsford-Smith Cup.

With eight wins and two seconds from 16 starts, Rise At Dawn has built a nice record and he was first-up in last Saturday's 1300m feature.

Connections decided to bypass the Kingsford-Smith Cup with Private Eye ($11) and the seven-year-old will now resume in the Stradbroke Handicap.

The Group 1 winner has 57kg and he had the same impost when runner-up to Alligator Blood in the 2022 Stradbroke Handicap.

Stradbroke Handicap Winners

The Stradbroke Handicap was first run in 1890 and has a famous history, with Rough Habit (two occasions), All Our Mob and Dane Ripper some of the greats to have won this feature.

The race has been over 1400m for much of its history, but in 2014 and 2015, it was run over 1350m at Doomben due to track renovations at Eagle Farm.

This Group 1 is one of the more famous handicaps on the Australian racing calendar and it's considered to be Queenland's premier race.

Alligator Blood (2022), Think About It (2023) and Stefi Magnetica (2024) have won the last three editions of the Stradbroke Handicap.
