Having won three in a row, Matthew Dale's now after some black type for Notation.
The Canberra trainer said the listed Winter Challenge (1500 metres) at Rosehill in three weeks was an option, as were the listed Mona Lisa Stakes (1350m) at Wyong and the group 3 Tibbie Stakes (1400m) at Newcastle in September.

Notation cruised to victory to win the Winter Racing Handicap (1400m) at Randwick on Saturday, 2.5 lengths clear of second-placed Velocita with Aim For Perfection a further length back in third.
The three-year-old filly jumped well and sat nicely on the speed before dashing clear in the home straight in the heavy conditions.
It's the daughter of Fastnet Rock's third consecutive victory, having previously saluted at Randwick two weeks ago and Canterbury a month before that in her first preparation since joining Dale's Canberra stable.
