1st – 2y f SABROSO trained by F Auret
2nd – 2y g THUNDER SQUIRELL trained by J Rathbone
3rd – 2y f PLATINUM LA DANSE trained by L Latta
Summary: “Fraser Auret has himself a very likeable 2YO filly called SABROSO by Written By, showed a real competitive edge to get her head down and win the trial when it was up for grabs late, only neat in size, she looks a trier and that is sure win her races. Also worth noting the performance of CUZ D’ÁMATO sat wide throughout untested, good action, quiet trial and pay to follow up next time.”
Horses To Follow: 2y f SABROSO & 2y g CUZ D’AMATO
Heat 8 – OPEN – Catchweight – 1000m (1.02.60)
1st – 5y m TESTING trained by R Bergerson
2nd – 6y m OUR SASSIE ANN trained by E Hocquard
3rd – 7y g DOUBTFUL SOUND trained by S Gordon
Summary: “TESTING is a talented mare managing soundness issues so she’s best to find fresh and on wet tracks where she excels, strode out boldly to win this trial under a nice hold from Jim Chung. Back in the field under a tight rein early was IM BARTHOLOMEW a progressive horse, bred to stay but has found his niche over short courses, another appreciating wet tracks and should go through his grades this this campaign.”
