Connections of top-class mare Joliestar (Zoustar) will wait until later this week before making a call on her involvement at Randwick at the weekend. A start in Saturday’s Gr.1 TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) is in the balance for Chris Waller’s representative due to Sydney’s inclement weather and no chances will be taken with Cambridge Stud’s high-profile daughter of Zoustar. “It would be nice to give her one more run before we tip her out for a spell and then come back for the spring,” Cambridge Stud chief executive Henry Plumptre…
