Azkadellia’s owner and trainer Ciaron Maher’s racing manager, Ben Connolly, said as long as Payne proved her fitness over the next few weeks she would be at Santa Anita in early November.

After undergoing pancreatic surgery following a fall in May, Payne has been given the all-clear to ride by Racing Victoria doctor Gary Zimmerman.
