TRIAL POINTERS
RANDWICK December 8: Clare Cunningham's 7YO gelding CRADLE MOUNTAIN is a bit of an enigma but he showed his old spark with an impressive win in the only 1200m heat, running them along at better than average trial pace and forging away to score by 5.5 lengths in good time for a trial over this trip (71.89; 34.05).
ROSEHILL November 30: AWAY GAME, winner of last season's MM Classic, had a soft time under Glen Boss, being held down for a close third in a fast 3YO heat over 900m (53.82; 34.10). It was a nice start to her prep for the MM Guineas at the Gold Coast next month.
