TRIAL POINTERS
RANDWICK July 28: GOLDEN MILE sat on the back of the leader and was made to work to the line to get the upper hand for a solid win in his 1000m heat (60.78; 34.72) to follow up his impressive third in his Hawkesbury trial. I Am Invincible 4YO GARZA BIANCA holds plenty of scope to improve on what he has done to date judging by sharp 1045m heat win in the fastest time over the distance (63.30; 35.04). Sat off the pace and gave the leaders several lengths start before showing a sharp turn of foot to sprint past them quickly and put the trial to bed. NINGALOO STAR also impressed with a fast closing third in the same heat. Other heat winners to make an impression included CAPITAL ASSET and WRITE THIS WAY
WARWICK FARM July 24: Two black type trials over 900m on the course proper. In Heat 1 (54.06; 34.83) the pick of the trial was the second by the classy mare ARGENTIA. She led easily but was never called on for a serious effort and was always working well within herself over the last 200m. In Heat 2 a brilliant turn of speed from BIG PARADE saw him open up a big lead and eventually record a stunning 20 lengths win in fast time (52.40; 33.29). He's now won two trials since joining the Joe Pride stable and will be primed for a short course sprint first-up. The 2YO heats in on the inner track created plenty of interest with plenty to like about the 798m heat win by NADAL (47.68; 34.56), an Xtravagant colt who has raced twice in Victoria for a Bendigo placing,
ROSEHILL July 21: Three heats on the course proper for black type performers. Sharp work by the good sprinter ROCKETING BY to win his 900m heat leading from start to finish (56.68; 34.10). Classy mare I AM ME backed up her earlier trial win at Warwick Farm on July 1 with another impressive piece of work to win her 900m heat with plenty in hand (56.62; 34.80).
HAWKESBURY July 17: An impressive return to the trials by G1 star GOLDEN MILE in his 800m heat (48.17; 32.94). He was ridden quietly off the pace with real class about the way he was getting into his work over the last 100m to finish third.
WYONG July 10: Unraced juvenile FIRE STAR made an impression with a sharp win in his 845m heat (51.93; 35.01) that has him ready to go to the races.
WARWICK FARM July 7: Exciting speedster I AM ME has won seven from 13 and looks primed for more success after a soft win her 98m heat (47.22; 33.59). She was keen to run when she had company in the lead but was always working well within herself and looked to have plenty to offer over the last 200m in her first trial since February.
WARWICK FARM May 26: BIG PARADE led his 795m heat easily before Ruthless Dame joined him at the 350m with the pair splitting the line together working well within themselves. They could have improved on the heat time (48.53; 34.26).
WARWICK FARM March 17: STRUFF won the fastest of the four 794m heat winners by a long way (46.74; 33.23), winning with style as she surged over the last 50m to get the better of the pacy leader. This Winning Rupert filly was placed in a strong maiden at Kembla Grange on debut and should soon graduate from that class.
