TRIAL POINTERS
NEWCASTLE September 25: HARD TO SAY and THE BOPPER, two of Newcastle's better class sprinters, are in good shape for coming engagements after smart wins in their heats.
CANTERBURY September 24: TARTAGLIA is a well above average 3YO who is poised to rise quickly through the classes this season. He ended his 2YO season with a maiden win at Warwick Farm in June and is ready to go on with it after this impressive 901m heat win in fast time (54.34; 34.11) to back up his recent placing in a Randwick trial.
HAWKESBURY September 17: Bjorn Baker had another strong session winning six heats. They included the in-form speedster BONITA QUEEN.
WYONG September 9: Smart sprinter HARD TO SAY was under a big hold finishing a close second in his 845m heat (48.84; 34.03) that he could have won if given rein.
