Trial Watch and Blackbook Report for racing on November 16-19.

TRIAL WATCH REPORT

Noted Trial Runners – November 16/17/19

CANTERBURY FRIDAY: Boudicea Belle (R3); Sixes (R3)

BOUDICEA BELLE (Rosehill November 2): Placed once from two starts last season and looks to have come on well with a Kembla Grange trial win preceding this smart effort to win the maiden heat over 1030m (1.02.45; 36.30). Patiently ridden to sit second two lengths off the leader before quickly taking command at the 250m when full of running. Soft win flattered chasers as she was eased down late.

ROSEHILL SATURDAY: Chess Star (R1); Our Century (R4); My Nordic Hero (R5); Gibraltar Girl (R7); Seasons (R8); Ready To Prophet (R8); Catesby (R9)

SEASONS (Randwick October 30): Talented mare is in for a good campaign after her sharp second in her 1045m heat when she cruised through her gears making ground off without being put under pressure. She’s only had four starts and has a very bright future. Followed up with another strong trial third at Canterbury on November 13.

READY TO PROPHET (Rosehill November 2): Sharp 3YO filly by Smart Missile set to add to her record of one win from three starts last season. Cruised in the lead at her own tempo, sprinted off turn and had plenty in the tank running out a clear 2.3 lengths winner in the fastest of the three 1030m heats (1.02.34/34.60). Hard to beat fresh.

KEMBLA GRANGE SATURDAY: Brazenpine (R1); Perigord (R3); Brigid Of Kildare (R6).
