Embattled Queensland trainer Ben Currie has sought a two weeks deferment of his show cause hearing before Queensland Racing stewards.

Currie was already facing eight charges from a raid on his stables in April last year and four unrelated positive swab charges.

Currie's legal team has written to chief steward Peter Chadwick asking for a deferment.

"It will give us natural justice in that we can prepare for Currie's hearing,” said Currie’s barrister Jim Murdoch.

“We are already set to appear in the Supreme Court on Friday to have other matters of natural justice resolved.”
