TRIAL POINTERS

HAWKESBURY September 17: Another strong trial from G1 star BROADSIDING will have him primed for the start of his spring campaign. He followed up his impressive second in a Rosehill trial over 900m with another excellent piece of work, running home under a cold ride from James McDonald to finish second in his 1000m heat (58.35; 33.20). Bjorn Baker's in form mare BONITA QUEEN showed her usual speed to win her tick up trial that ensures she maintains her fitness levels while progressive 4YO IRON MAN was a standout heat winner. I am certain more wins are in store for this lightly raced 5YO gelding after he sprinted away with his open heat over 1000m. He tracked into it three wide from midfield approaching the turn and let down with a fast last 200m to score under a big hold by three lengths (59.02; 32.87).

ROSEHILL September 16: The unraced INOUE continues to enhance his reputation with his third win in four trials since February, leading easily to post the quickest time in the three heats over 1030m (62.73; 35.28).

ROSEHILL September 5: Champagne Stakes and JJ Atkins winner BROADSIDING is primed to start his spring with a bang after a classy second in his 900m heat (54.27; 34.52). He was 10 lengths off the winner on the turn but oozed class getting into his work over the last 150m to be just over a length away at the finish. Surged through the line under a big hold from James McDonald. BREMEL is a maiden heat winner with good prospects.

RANDWICK August 30: I have been waiting for unraced Shalaa gelding INOUE to reappear since two impressive trials last season.  Strong bodied 3YO with plenty of natural talent evident as he cruised through his 740m heat (43.57; 32.97) with ease, extending like a good horse under no pressure over the last 300m.

WARWICK FARM August 27: Very quick heat winners in the short course trials included SUPER ZIPPI and MICRO MAGIC.

RANDWICK February 22: Among the 2YOs to make an impression in their trials was the Snowden-trained heat winner INOUE (737m – 43.53; 33.66)

CANTERBURY January 9: Several 2YOs reaffirmed the talent they had displayed earlier in the season in trials and races. They included an impressive 899m heat win by FORCE RED (54.63; 34.62).
