GAI Waterhouse remains hopeful that Caulfield Cup winner Descarado will be ready for the rich staying events in the autumn carnival despite being forced to send him back to the paddock, reports the Daily Telegraph.

It says: Waterhouse said on Sky Sports Radio that she had not been entirely happy with her headline stayer since he returned to work and that he would spend another four weeks in the spelling paddock.

The change to his autumn preparation could be quite damaging considering the time it takes to get stayers fit for feature races but Waterhouse said Descarado would still be aimed at the $2.5 million The BMW (2400m) run at Rosehill Gardens on Golden Slipper Day, April 2.
