TRIAL POINTERS
ROSEHILL October 27: In the open heats over 900m the sharp speedster WAY TO THE STARS showed he was holding his form well with an impressive win in the fastest trial over the distance (53.66; 33.71). It was an excellent piece of work and he should take this form into any race up to 1200m. In a strong 900m heat won by good sprinter Iowna Merc (53.80; 33.85) OSIPENKO looked to have freshened up well since his trip to Melbourne, having a quiet trial before putting in strong work over the last 100m to finish fourth. PRIVATE EYE was not in the heat to compete and was allowed to drop well off the pace at the rear before picking up a gear or two with soft work over the last 100m.
NEWCASTLE October 24: ANGARA is a Frankel 4YO with only one win in 11 starts but may be ready to hit his straps after his impressive return in his first trial since July. Took control of his 1000m heat a long way from home and ran right away from his rivals with Regan Bayliss swinging to him to score by more than six lengths. The clock backed it up as he posted easily the fastest of the seven heat wins over the distance (60.21; 33.65). Nice improvement from unraced Super One gelding POWER SPARK to win his second trial over 800m (48.20; 33.23). Could have gone quicker as he was keen to run but Rory Hutchings kept him under a tight hold from the jump. He easily extended his lead to four lengths turning for home before he was throttled down over the last 50 metres.
WARWICK FARM October 23: The 9YO veteran CASCADIAN resumed with a super trial win that says he is set for another strong campaign despite his advancing years. Godolphin are good with their ageing stars (Hartnell!) and they have this striking chestnut in great health for his coming campaign. He was classes above his rivals in his 815m heat (48.64; 33.78), given time to find his legs before pulling wide and sailing past his rivals under the quietest of rides to win the trial with ease. Really liked the way he worked past the line in a strong prep for his imminent return.
RANDWICK October 20: The fastest heat over 1045m was won by the 4YO gelding I'MINTOWIN, a maiden winner from six starts in New Zealand having his first Sydney trial for the Waterhouse/Bott stable. Worked along in the lead and held his ground to the line with a nice effort from MISS HELLFIRE taking the eye with her closing second. Good performances in the C1/Maiden heats by ROCKETEER GIRL and WATCH MY GIRL point to positive prospects when they go to the races.
ROSEHILL October 13: SHOHEI was a real eye catcher in the open heat over 900m (55.01; 35.44). Settled at the rear before slicing through the field with an inside run from the 300m under a big hold from Zac Lloyd to finish a close fourth. She's a 5YO mare who has missed a place only once in seven starts and should build on that record. In the fastest heat over 1030m (63.43; 35.83) the lightly raced Not A Single Doubt mare SPEYMALT took the eye with her impressive third in her first trial since July. The open heat over 1030m saw recent maiden winner KADALL finish a nice fourth against better performed rivals under an easy ride. He has since won a Rosehill trial on October 27 in good style.
WARWICK FARM October 9: Speed runners dominated the short course maiden heats with some smart wins by FLYING RANI (792m – 45.40; 32.58); STORM THE RAMPARTS (792m – (46.45; 33.37) and RAGGA RAGGA (789m – 45.81; 33.19).
RANDWICK October 6: Maiden filly WATCH MY GIRL impressed with her effort to fill a place in the open 3YO heat (43.42; 32.79)
WARWICK FARM September 25: An impressive piece of work by maiden filly YUKAN ROSE to win her 808m heat with authority. Sat outside the leader and while the time was standard for the session (48.26; 34.80) there was a lot to like about the way she extended to put the trial to bed over the last 150m.
