A preference to run Kirramosa at Rosehill on Saturday could be trumped by a desire not to risk her spring campaign on a heavy track.

Trainer John Sargent says the timing of Saturday's TAB Quaddie Handicap (1500m) fits perfectly with his carnival plans for the Group One winner.

But he is wary of starting her second-up from a long spell if Rosehill remains heavy.

"I'd like to run her if I can. It would work out well because it's three weeks after her first run and it would be three weeks to the George Main," Sargent said.

"But I would like to see the track come back to slow."

Kirramosa claimed the Wakeful Stakes-VRC Oaks double in the spring but missed the autumn carnival through injury.

She returned with a competitive sixth to Sweet Idea in the Missile Stakes earlier this month when she was beaten less than two lengths.

The four-year-old is unknown in ground worse than dead and while she appears to handle wet going at trackwork, Sargent says that doesn't always translate to race day.

But on raw ability alone, Sargent has no doubt Kirramosa can figure in the finish if she takes her place on Saturday.

"It is a winnable race because she's got a lot of class on her side," he said.

"Although she will improve further from the run she will be hard to beat if she starts."

The back-up plan is the Tramway Stakes on Saturday week, ahead of the Group One George Main Stakes at Randwick on September 20.

Sargent will then decide if Kirramosa stays in Sydney or heads to Melbourne where the Caulfield Cup will be her main goal.
