TRIAL POINTERS

ROSEHILL August 6: In the first black type heat over 1000m on the course proper the strong work of PERICLES to finish second took the eye. In the second heat his stablemate TOM KITTEN settled fourth but was eager to run with his strong late work confirming the excellent impression he made in his first-up trial. Set for a big spring on what we’ve seen in his two trials. The inside grass heats were full of rising talent with a couple of standout winners. You can’t ignore times with impressive unraced filly AUTUMN GLOW clocking easily the fastest 900m heat win (53.96; 34.47), some 1.29 second quicker than the next best winner over the distance. She’s now won two of her three trials with the manner of her work to surge past the leader under a quiet ride from off the pace stamping her as a filly with a bright future. Eager to see what MOUNT EVEREST, an unraced gelding by Exceed And Excel, can produce under race conditions. He’s a big bodied boy and it’s obvious time has been the key as this was his second successive trial win, working strongly to the line in to win the fastest 1030m heat (62.38; 35.08) with plenty up his sleeve.

HAWKESBURY August 5: The first provincial session of the new season featured some impressive trials from maidens and unraced 3YOs. Loved the recent quiet trial by former Kiwi mare EMELIA JANE at Warwick Farm and she was more positive in this 1000m heat (61.65; 34.72), running to the line strongly from off the pace with plenty to offer for second behind another previously noted performer SPACEBALLS.  Placed in her debut in NZ in January, she has now had four trial for the Pride stable since April and is ready to make her mark.

ROSEHILL July 23: In the fastest black typeheat over 900m (55.03; 34.45) AMOR VICTORIOUS trialled nicely to finish second. The inside grass trials saw FIRE STAR win the fastest 900m heat (54.15; 34.21). Others to follow from the 900m heats include ECCEDERE and USEAPIN.

WARWICK FARM July 15: Rare to see a batch of Godolphin’s G1 stars up and going in mid-winter trials, indicating they will be making early starts to their spring campaigns. TOM KITTEN and PERICLES had easy trials but their class was evident in the manner of their work and the way they finished off through the line, especially TOM KITTEN. This big spring contender was hard to miss in his 795m heat (47.81; 34.12). He was last early but loved his strong work over the last 200m, trucking through the line to finish a closing fourth in a classy start to his spring prep.

ROSEHILL March 18: 2YO heat winner AUTUMN GLOW (900m – 54.88; 35.16) did enough to warrant attention.
