TRIAL POINTERS

NEWCASTLE December 12: Wyong trainer Sara Ryan's team continues to perform well at provincial trials. Her handy 5YO mare SPICY HOTPOT followed up her noted trial at Wyong on November 26 with a smart win in her 950m heat (53.61; 33.15), sprinting away in a fast closing sectional from her well performed stablemate MUCH MUCH BETTER for a soft win. She can be well placed in a suitable benchmark at the provincials.

ROSEHILL December 10: DEVIL NIGHT won the quickest of three moderate 2YO trials over 900m (55.64; 34.42).

RANDWICK December 9: The previously noted PALLATON looks well prepared for his debut after a strong heat win (51.54; 34.74) with the runner-up QUIETLY ARROGANT taking the eye with his strong work over the last 200m.

NEWCASTLE December 4: A maiden to impress in the 1000m heats was the previously noted trial winner PROSPEROUS DRAGON (60.52; 34.64).

RANDWICK November 26: A number of these runners will have aspirations of landing at the Gold Coast in January for the Magic Millions including the 2YO heat winner over 740m ALBANY ROAD (44.90; 33.87). PALLATON trialled well behind ALBANY ROAD.

WYONG November 26: Talented local trainer Sara Ryan won an open 845m heat with her evergreen performer MUCH MUCH BETTER.

WARWICK FARM November 19: Youngsters to take the eye with their work in their heats included CENOTAPH.

ROSEHILL June 21: Provincial stable has a runner in unraced 3YO gelding PROSPEROUS DRAGON. After posting trial wins at Wyong and Gosford in April and May he came to town for another dominant exhibition, giving a big kick off the turn to win his 1030m heat by a dominant margin (63.38; 36.02). Hard to beat in a provincial maiden.
