Thirty horses have been listed in the first acceptances for the $1.5 million UBET Stradbroke Handicap. 

Kingsford-Smith Cup winner and defending champion Impending is set to carry the topweight with 57.5kg. 

Group 1 Goodwood winner Santa Ana Lane has also accepted, alongside Fred Best Classic winner Perast. 

Chris Waller could dominate both the Queensland Derby (3YO) and JJ Atkins (2YO) - with multiple runners among the first acceptors for both Group 1s. 

Waller could back-up his Queensland Oaks quinella of Youngstar and Another Dollar, while in the JJ Atkins, he is likely to start Zousain, The Autumn Sun and impressive Dalrello Stakes winner, Lean Mean Machine.
