3rd – 3y c KUSUDA RUSH trained by O’Sullivan & Scott

Heat 11 – OPEN – Catchweight – 1100m (1.08.27)
1st – 5y g TAKESHI trained by Walker & Tata
2nd – 4y m TWILIGHT TALE trained by A Forsman
3rd – 5y g OUR TIME trained by P Lock
Summary: “Expect this heat to produce winners, the well-exposed TAKESHI came from last and was ridden out to win the trial, interesting runner was TWILIGHT TALE a former West Australian now with Andrew Formsan, she looked forward and ready to go to the races for the new stable. Back in 3rd was OUR TIME lightly tried and with more wins in him. The best horse in the field was SWISS PRINCE a Group 2 winner last time in, the 3YO travelled smoothly back in 5th position and given a quiet time over the concluding stages.”
Horse To Follow: 4y m TWILIGHT TALE & 3y g SWISS PRINCE
Heat 12 – OPEN – Catchweight 1100m (1.06.60)
1st – 6y g REWARD SMILE trained by J Mahoney
2nd – 4y g TOP DOLLAR trained by Richie & Murray
3rd – 6y m CAITLYN’S WISH trained by S Autridge
Summary: “Easily the quickest of the 1100m heats and former HK galloper REWARD SMILE thrived in his preferred conditions, given a shake up late in the trial and quickened nicely on the heavy ground. The run on effort of TOP DOLLAR worth noting considering he has never faced a wet track on race-day and looked all at home on the surface hitting the line strongly in 2nd place, no match for the winner.”
Horse To Follow: 6y g REWARD SMILE & 4y g TOP DOLLAR
