More spring teasers from two of the best in the business with crack sprinters Eduardo and Gytrash hooking up in their first trial appearances for the season.
They contested an 805m heat on the course proper with EDUARDO's natural speed giving him the edge over the short course.
Eduardo (Robbie Dolan) begins his road to a potential #TABEverest start winning a Warwick Farm trial on Tuesday from Nictock (Zac Wadick) & @inglis_sales Everest runner Gytrash (Josh Evans) runs into third ahead of Royalzel. @tabcomau @7horseracing @PrideRacing @racing_gordon pic.twitter.com/vI9T3FMDis

The Joe Pride-trained sprinter had NICTOCK for company but his class kicked in over the last 400m as he did it well within himself to record a soft win in the fastest heat of the morning (47.31; 33.20).
GYTRASH lobbed along at the rear and worked it into it strongly over the last 200m for an equally impressive third, 3.75 lengths from the winner.
The unraced $1.9 million Deep Impact yearling PROFUNDO added his trial record with another impressive effort, sprinting strongly to the line from off the pace for a dominant win in his maiden heat over 1175m (61.65; 35.51). He's now won three trials since May - surely he must be close to making his race debut.
Another impressive trial win for @littracing Deep Impact colt Profondo (Robbie Dolan) at Warwick Farm on Tuesday, he beat Makeme (Heavelon Van Der Hoven) and Vitae (Wayne Wheatley) in third. @tabcomau pic.twitter.com/lGwVRtbZpc
