TRIAL POINTERS
WARWICK FARM January 2: Notable efforts from the open and maiden heats included WINNING VERSE and VEECEE. The smart Godolphin runner JAMBALAYA put in good work to finish second in his polytrack trial.
ROSEHILL December 29: Classy youngster HIGHNESS will head to the Gold Coast for the Magic Millions in rich form after impressive work to win his 900m heat in the fastest of the three 2YO heats (54.06; 34.27). The pacy leader BARRACUDA made him work before he went up a gear to run clear over the last 100m, impressing with the way he extended over the last 50 metres to win by almost three lengths. KING OF SPARTA was given an easy trial finishing fifth in the fastest of three 1030m heats (61.81; 34.72), working home nicely under a big hold. It was a good morning for the Bjorn Baker team with strong trial by ROCKABILLY REBEL. NORTON ROAD is a runner to keep an eye on from the maiden heats.
WARWICK FARM December 22: TOO DARN LIZZIE, a racy Too Darn Hot filly from the Waterhouse/Bott yard, posted the fastest time of the four 2YO heats (48.26; 34.16).
RANDWICK December 11: Waterhouse and Bott won another 2YO heat over 740m with the unraced Zoustar filly DOMINETTA in good time (43.41; 33.25), improving on her placing in her first trial. She's a compact runner with good speed and responded well after covering ground.
