Chris Scholtz reviews Sydney and provincial barrier trials at Wyong (September 10) and Rosehill (September 15).
ROSEHILL September 15
Inside Grass; Good 4
15 Heats – 4 x 1030m (2 Open; 2 Maiden); 11 x 900m (4 Open; 1 3YO; 6 Maiden)
A set that lacked star power but there were some nice performances from likely types for lesser races over the spring carnival.
The notable trial was the first of the open heats over 900m where the highly regarded HARTO passed her barrier test in fine style after her costly loss at Randwick when she reared at the start. This time Nash Rawiller took over from Kerrin McEvoy and he made sure she flew the gates, landing a length in front before he took hold and cuddled her for the rest of the trial to finish a hard held third behind the pacy pair VILLAMI and BELLUCI BABE (53.47; 33.55)

HUMAN NATURE clocked the fastest 900m heat win (53.45; 33.90) but the noted efforts came from the classy mares EXHILARATES finishing off strongly for second under a quiet ride after settling back and wide and an unextended third from CALIFORNIA ZIMBOL after tracking the winner. She was not asked for a serious effort at any stage and could have won the trial.

KEIAI TSUBAKI, a 5YO mare with two provincial wins last year, led for a strong winner in the first of the four 1030m heats (63.41; 35.02) but the eye catcher came from the classy Group winner DAWN PASSAGE working home nicely from three back on the fence for a strong second. COCO BACI and the talented BOTTEGA also impressed in this heat having very easy trials.
