TRIAL POINTERS
RANDWICK June 27: In the 1050m heats runners that took the eye included NAZWAH while NULLABOR JANE had plenty to offer in her 740m heat.
CANTERBURY June 23: Unraced Bivouac youngster CELLARMASTER has been working up to his debut. This was his third trial with his work to win his 893m heat in the fastest time for the distance (54.83; 36.01) showing he is ready to go to the races. Trailed two fast leaders to the turn before coming to their outside and doing all that was required to reel them in under an easy ride. STRAAND BEAUTY posted the fastest win in the 900m heats (54.27; 35.21), showing his natural speed to lead by a clear margin and maintain his advantage to the finish under no pressure. Prefer to see him placed in races up to 1100m. Godolphin runners to perform with credit with a notable trial included heat winner PROFILE.
ROSEHILL June 20: I can't remember when Godolphin's sharp Group sprinter KALLOS didn't trial well. He's a three time winner first-up and looks ready for another bold fresh run after cruising through his 900m heat for a soft win (55.41; 34.58).
WYONG June 16: DALMANNDI, an imported stayer in the Lees stable, trialled with purpose and looks set to improve on what he has displayed to date in his limited Australian career.
