TRIAL POINTERS
WARWICK FARM June 11: EIGHT DIAMONDS took the eye with her closing third in the fastest 740m heat (42.84; 32.70). Rubick filly RUBINOCCHI won the fastest of the two 2YO heats (43.13; 33.05) with MAROONIYAH and CONFISCATE showing they have something to offer with their closing efforts in their 2YO trials.
RANDWICK June 8: A previously noted 2YO heat winner was the promising type I AM LETHAL (64.25; 36.23) in his 1045m trial.
ROSEHILL June 4: MINSK MOMENT put the lie to his first trial last November when beaten 18 lengths, showing he is an obvious talent by cruising home under a cold ride from James McDonald in the fastest 2YO heat over 900m (55.23; 35.40).
GOSFORD May 31: The John O'Shea-trained I AM LETHAL was a good 2YO heat winner over 800m (48.87; 35.99).
RANDWICK May 28: The Snowden-trained 2YO BULLPEN had too much speed for his rivals in the fastest 736m heat (43.15; 33.20
