TRIAL POINTERS
RANDWICK June 30: Talented 5YO mare SUNBORN recorded a big win in the fastest 1040m heat (62.84; 34.04) in her second trial since she won at Canterbury in January. She opened up a big lead with ease and kept running smoothly to cruise home by more than six lengths in a heat of some depth.
CANTERBURY June 26: Smart sprinter DRAGONSTONE showed he is in good form to continue his winter campaign with a stylish win the fastest trial of the morning. He was quietly ridden at the rear before coming across heels at the 300m and sprinting home over the top of his rivals in his 905m heat (55.02; 34.31) with something in reserve. Annabel Neasham's classy 3YO sprinter SWEET RIDE won the fastest of the three 1100m heats (67.92; 3.538) with good speed from the front with BRIGANTINE taking the eye with his work behind him
HAWKESBURY June 19: Noted speedster MALKOVICH provided the highlight of the session with his seven lengths win in an open heat over 1000m. Back from a Brisbane failure early in the month, he was too fast for his rivals cruising through his heat in good time (46.94; 32.82) without ever coming off the bit.
RANDWICK June 13: Unraced So You Think filly HOWGOODAREYOU has been in the blackbook since we highlighted her only previous trial last August when she won a heat at Gosford. There's obvious talent here as she again made an impression to come from six lengths off the lead after sitting three wide in her 1045m heat (63.63; 35.58), reeling in her rivals with a strong surge over the last 200m for a narrow win. Liked the way unraced Maurice filly LADYKING attacked the line to finish fourth in her 740m heat won by a G2 winner. This was only her second trial and first since December and expect she will take plenty of benefit from the work.
ROSEHILL June 5: The 2YO heats created most interest and will be a reliable reference to late season juvenile races. The fastest of the six 2YO heats over 900m was won by the $1.35 million colt ANDRONICUS, an unraced son of I Am Invincible having his first trial outing for Peter and Paul Snowden. He is a well-built colt with plenty of strength and did all that was required to win his heat with something in hand (54.61; 35.02).
GOSFORD August 29: The Waterhouse/Bott stable won a maiden heat over 800m with the unraced HOWGOODAREYOU (50.30; 35.59), a nice So You Think filly with definite scope for improvement.
