Chris Scholtz reviews Sydney barrier trials at Warwick Farm on June 2 and Rosehill on June 5.
ROSEHILL June 5
Inside Grass; Soft 6
6 Heats – 1 x 1030m (2 &3YO); 5 x 900m (1 Open; 3 2YO; 1 3YO)
BANDERSNATCH has been costly in recent starts but he will be given another chance on the strength of his winning trial, working strongly to get the better of handy pair SPECIAL MISSILE and TORYJOY in the fastest of the five 900m heats (54.39; 34.38).
The 2YO heats were standard. TIGHT ROPES made the best impression travelling kindly in the lead and doing enough to win the quickest of the 900m heats for the juveniles (54.47; 34.61).
NOTED TRIALS
X Bandersnatch; Bazooka; Lewis; Mushaireb; Special Missile; Tectonicus; Tight Ropes; Toryjoy; Tycoon Hallie
WARWICK FARM June 2
Inside Grass; Soft 7
9 Heats – 2 x 1200m (1 Open; 1 Maiden); 7 x 794m (2 Open; 3 2YO; 2 Maiden)
Standard winter class trials on a soft track.
Classy mare IRITHEA is holding her form well. She worked well within herself to finish a soft second to the speedy mare LASHES in the fastest of the 794m heats (47.67; 34.25) and was very strong through the line. G1 winner BEST OF DAYS worked well within himself in his 1200m heat against only two rivals and is in good shape for whatever is planned for him.
The 2YOs RADIANCE and ASHRA JAHRE have solid prospects. The latter has definitely improved since her first campaign early in the season.
A maiden win should not be long coming for SAIGON.
