TRIAL POINTERS
ROSEHILL January 11: Loved the first soft trial by SWITZERLAND at Warwick Farm on January 2 and another easy piece of work by this unraced Snitzel youngster to finish third in the quickest 900m heat won by DEPUTIZE (53.46; (33.93) confirms that he is a talented prospect. Eager to see what he can do under race conditions.
CANTERBURY January 9: I Am Invincible colt CABALLUS was a Randwick winner last season and impressed winning a Rosehill trial on December 29. He went on with it here easily winning his 902m heat under no pressure (54.50; 33.79). Liked the way he opened up over the last 100m to win the heat by more than three lengths.
WARWICK FARM January 2: SWITZERLAND, a colt from the Waller yard, stamped himself as one to follow with an impressive second in his 812m heat (47.67; 33.92).
ROSEHILL December 29: It was a good morning for the Bjorn Baker team with a strong trial by new acquisition CABALLUS winning the fastest 900m heat (53.77; 34.11).
WARWICK FARM December 22: The 2YO heats saw some nice efforts by BOSUSTOW. DEPUTIZE and CARAVANSERAI.
