Chris Scholtz reviews Sydney and provincial barrier trials at Newcastle (February 19); Hawkesbury (February 20) and Rosehill on February 25.
ROSEHILL February 25
Inside Grass; Soft 5
16 Heats – 4 x 1030m (3 Open; 1 Maiden); 12 x 900m (3 Open; 1 3YO Open; 6 2YO; 2 Maiden)
STANDOUT (Gerald Ryan): Lived up to his name as his win in easily the fastest of the 1030m heats (62.89; 34.40) was indeed the standout performance of the session. He was in cruise mode sitting three deep in a line behind the leaders and stamped his class on the trial with impressive work between the 200m and 100m as he asserted his authority with Tommy Berry sitting stone cold in the saddle. Top class work.

BOOKER (Gerald Ryan): The G1 winning mare is obviously close to her best form for her new stable judging by the way she sped to a 5.3 lengths win in easily the fastest of the 900m heats (53.70; 33.40) under the kindest of rides form Josh Parr. No knock on the strong work of top class pair SANTA ANA LANE and FASIKA behind her but she is obviously ready to go first-up over a short course.
Group 1 winner Booker, now with @GRyanRacing, runs out an easy winner of a @rosehillgardens trial on Tuesday with Fasika and superstar Santa Ana Lane chasing her home. @tabcomau @7horseracing pic.twitter.com/FksgGEhnFG
