Waller has indicated he favours sending Beaten Up to Brisbane to join his stablemate Foreteller in the Doomben Cup.
Originally trained in the UK by William Haggas, Beaten Up was unbeaten in three starts England with his last win there coming in the G3 St Simon Stakes at Newbury as a three-year-old in 2011.
He has had three starts this year in Australia, including a second to Mouro at his latest run in the Listed Rowley Mile at Hawkesbury on May 4.
Foreteller, a late-closing second to Lights Of Heaven in the G2 AD Hollindale Stakes at the Gold Coast on May 4, is the ruling favourite for the Doomben Cup.
Waller also has Firebolt, Illo and Say No More entered for the Scone Cup.
Firebolt is a confirmed runner with Michael Rodd booked for the ride.
