TRIAL WATCH REPORT
NOTED TRIAL RUNNERS – April 22
RANDWICK KENSINGTON MONDAY: Czarson (R1); Human Nature (R1); Moreno (R1); Splintex (R1); Somervell (R1); Le Figaro (R1); Fox Swift (R3); C’Est Davinchi (R4); Pop Girl (R6); Pelorus Jack (R7)
SPLINTEX (Warwick Farm December 11): Breeders Plate winner Dubious won this 803m trial but there was a lot more to like about the third placing from this Sniztel colt in his first trial. He was last to settle before easily spearing between runners from the 500m to be sitting second turning for home. From there he was kept under a tight hold by Tim Clark and went to the line with plenty in reserve. He’s since had three more trials including a Randwick heat win, confirming the talent he showed here.
LE FIGARO (Warwick Farm April 12): A most interesting trial was the 2YO heat on the Pro Ride where leading country-based trainer Matt Dunn sent two youngsters Le Figaro and Bells Approaching from his Murwillumbah stable to contest the 740m heat. They finished 1-2 with the unraced filly Le Figaro, a Gold Coast trial winner in December, looking above average and ready to go the races. It will be interesting to see where she is produced first time out.
