NZ Trial Watcher has been tipping winners for fun. But when they’re not tipping up a storm, they’re pinpointing future winners out of the trials. Get your blackbook and pen ready – here’s several; horses you need to be following out of the Avondale trials.
Heat 3 – 2YO – Catchweight – 800m (47.87)
1st – 2y f THE QUEEN’S SWORD trained by Walker & Bergerson
2nd – 2y f HELLO ANGEL trained by Stephen Marsh
3rd – 2y f KHATUN trained by K Pertab
Summary: “Slowly run trial, the Sword Of State gelding SWORD OF D’ORO finished in 7th position but hard to miss him late, given time to balance up early, he had no room in the straight running up behind horses and went to the line jogging. A big, mature looking 2YO in the country’s leading juvenile stable and worth respecting towards his next trial.”
Horses To Follow: 2y g SWORD OF D’ORO
Heat 5 – 2YO – Catchweight – 800m (46.87)
1st – 2y f O’BABY trained by K Pertab
2nd – 2y f KARABELLASKYE trained by R Manning
3rd – 2y f BALLERINA trained by Richardson & Norvall
Summary: “Slow time so worth noting, however, the Ardrossan filly was restrained early and allowed to slide in the straight and appeared to thrive on heavy surface with her short, nippy action, a professional first outing and deserves close attention when she trials next.”
Horse To Follow: 2y f O’BABY
Heat 8 – 2YO – Catchweight – 800m (47.50)
1st – 2y g SUPER ARROW trained by B & R Foote
2nd – 2y g SHACKLES trained by Walker & Bergerson
3rd – 2y f SYMPHONY SKY trained by O’Sullivan & Scott
Summary: “SUPER ARROW looks a forward type out of the Foote stable travelled strongly through to win the heat, a very good trial by 3rd placed SYMPHONY SKY coming up the inside of runners closer to the rail and under a tight rein, she’s bred to get over 2000m+ as a 3YO type so this is a positive sign early for the Contributer filly with Wexford stables. “
Horse To Follow: 2y f SYMPHONY SKY
Heat 10 – MDN 3YO – Catchweight – 800m (47.37)
1st – 3y f MISS KIPLING trained by M & K Murdoch
2nd – 3y f GIRLZGIRLZGIRLZ trained by D Logan
3rd – 3y f BAD PENNY trained by K Fawcett
Summary: “Huge trial from GIRLZGIRLZGIRLZ the exciting unraced filly by North Pacific returning from a break for Donna Logan, a constant in trial reports last time in work, she’s returned in similar style bolting in the run under Masa Hashizumie to beaten narrowly on the line.
