TRIAL STARS

DISRUPTOR (Rosehill October 2) – Gary Portelli-trained Dissident youngster was second to the subsequent Breeders Plate winner Dubious at the Randwick trials on September 17 and improved off that to record an impressive 900m heat win despite doing plenty wrong. He was up on the speed before running wide on the point of the turn and took 100m to balance before sprinting past the leaders for a strong win in a fast closing sectional. Has been well educated as he followed up with a third trial at Warwick Farm last Monday where he wasn’t asked for anything serious in the heavy ground. Has the ability.

THE KOSCIUSZKO (Gosford September 28): The open class trial of note featured Kosciuszko contenders VICTOREM and AFTER ALL THAT. The Port Macquarie-trained VICTOREM had won a trial at Taree on September 16 but this time was given a much easier time by his race jockey Ben Looker, settling well off the speed before picking up ground easily from the 500m under a hold. He was only allowed some rein in the last 200m and it was hard to miss him making ground quickly over the last 100m to be fourth across the line. AFTER ALL THAT was very similar as he was also given an easy time through the first half and was never asked for a serious effort at any stage, working home easily along the rail to finish 1.5 lengths behind Victorem.
