Nature Strip all set for Lightning strike

"He's had a great break. He's had a normal, traditional lead-up to his return run. 

"A jump-out in Sydney, a trial in Sydney, today's jump-out as well as a float trip down. 

"Small pieces of work to steadily stimulate him." 

Waller said he was not looking any further than the Lightning, although in the back of his mind he would like to see Nature Strip line up in a fourth Group 1 T J Smith (1200m) at Randwick, having won the past three editions. 

He added he would like to again travel with Nature Strip to the northern hemisphere and Royal Ascot where Nature Strip was successful last year in the Group 1 King's Stand Stakes. 

"It's all about the autumn, all about his first-up run at this stage. We're not thinking about travel outside of Australia until we get the autumn out of the way," Waller said. 

Waller was impressed with September Run who he described as being 'not a flash trackworker'. 

"Yet she runs well in these types of races," Waller said. 

"She loves the straight. The last 100 metres next Saturday will hopefully see her finishing off."
