Nice horse! Excellent debut with the immediate filter to say he's a serious player in 2yo features going forward given not only a top 10 performance, but in this case the 3rd best of a Saturday city card. Stalked the lead going -1.2 at the 800, before +2.9 in the mid race, and -0.1 last 400. Lost 0.4 of a length last 200 in isolation, and the best last 800 of the day, but just the 31st best last 200 strongly suggests there's more to come. We look forward to tracking his progress.

Subsequently: 2nd Blue Diamond Prelude 07/02, then 3rd Blue Diamond 21/02 before winner Golden Slipper.

REPOST AFTER FIRST UP ROSEHILL WIN 29/08

Lightly raced 4yo with the best in front of him, and this "dash home" trial in the strongest heat of the morning, says he's ready to go to the races and win first up. -12.4 at the 800 when 4.3 lengths from the lead. Closed with +0.3 and +3.8 with the last 200 a super slick +3.0 lengths above benchmark. His current PB is -0.1 when a luckless 2nd at Gosford on their standalone day, and this performance says he's set to sail past that figure this time in.

Subsequently: Winner Warwick Farm 19/08 winner Randwick 29/08

Wow! Exploded in this PB to not only a new PB from -0.5, but to a level that has him top of the tree with this 3yo crop, and a potential Everest contender should the stable go there. +4.2 at the 800, before +3.6 in the mid race which is blistering sustained speed. +1.7 last 400 was reflective of the perfect firm ground, but also underlined the performance as he stayed above benchmark in all three sections. He is now at the elite level wherever they go, and however long he keeps racing given his multi million dollar stallion potential. 

REPOST AFTER MEMSIE GROUP 1 WIN CAULFIELD 29/08

Outstanding colt who again showed his high class "wheelhouse" is 1400 metres on clean ground, with this all the way performance in similar "rare air" to his +4.4 when winning the Golden Rose in the spring at Rosehill. That day was +4.2 lengths above benchmark at the 800 with blistering explosive early speed, while here with Nash Rawiller riding a masterful race led going +0.7, before +1.3 and +4.2 in the last two sections. It effectively made him impossible to catch under this race shape bar a genuine freak performance which obviously there wasn't. This ability to harness his speed says a mile and further is possible. 

Subsequently: First up winner Memsie 29/08

We sizzled him from his excellent return a fortnight earlier when crushing the line with the 2nd best last 400 and best last 200 of the day in producing -2.9 lengths below benchmark ranked 19th on the day, and here he's smashed the competition and his benchmark PB in the process. -1.3 at the 800 when 3.8 lengths from the lead, before -2.4 in the mid race and a booming last bit best bit - again! - +4.6 last 400. The last 200 in isolation was +3.1. Won 3rd and 4th up last prep, and he's still on the rise. Returning here over 1500 in a fortnight or a Randwick mile 05/09 both look ideal options.

Subsequently: Winner Rosehill 29/08

Lightly raced 4yo on the rise who has resumed off excellent trials with an effortless win with the promise of more to come. +0.3 at the 800 was good speed when 2.7 lengths from the lead, but then lost 2.9 lengths in a mid race slowdown going -2.6 lengths below benchmark. Last 400 was +1.8, but note it was all over the last 200 when "slipping" clear with +2.1 which was the 8th best of the day at the end of 1400 metres. Was narrowly beaten at the Gosford standalone day 09/05 with -0.1 lengths below benchmark 3rd up/1st prep over a mile, and this says there's much more to come this time in.

Subsequently: Winner Rosehill 29/08

Evolving filly who has produced glimpses of talent without putting it fully together, but this new PB 2nd up with a dominant win says the best should still be ahead. -4.5 lengths below benchmark at the 800 had her 3.8 lengths from the lead, before -2.0 and +3.0 last two sections. Context was the 3rd best last 400 and 200 of the day, after the 2nd best last 400 and 200 of the day first up, but off a significantly softer first 800 metres. Looks dangerous in an early season mares stakes race with a fitness edge, and soft track capacity. Maybe a Courtza this track/distance late August???

Subsequently: Unplaced Caulfield Heath 08/08 then winner Courtza Stakes Caulfield 29/08 at $8!

We sizzled him from 4 weeks earlier when -3.5 lengths below benchmark ranked 8th of the day first up over a mile, and here elevated big time to his best Australian IVR performance. -4.5 at the 800 had him 8.7 lengths from the lead, before +4.2 from the 800 to 400 which meant a booming 8.7 length squeeze. Last 400 was -3.4 and actually losing 1.4 lengths over the last 200 in isolation. This is an import in his 3rd local prep and everything points that despite being an established 6yo, his best is still in front of him. That's scary at this time of year!

Subsequently: Winner Caulfield 29/08

7yo who has won over $6million prizemoney to date, and he's set to add to that big time and shortly as this trial - to go with a hard closing 2nd on very wet ground under a big hold at Gosford 22/07 - screams he's coming to play when he steps out first up. -1.9, -1.8 and -0.5 over the three sections, but it was 200 increments which told a big tale. -0.5, -2.3 and +1.6 last 3 sections meant he's had a 1.8 length slowdown from the 400 to 200, before a blistering 3.9 length pick up over the last 200 metres. This was also seen via the 69th best last 400, but the 23rd best last 200 of the session smashing stakes horses. Stand by!

Subsequently: First up 3rd to AUTUMN GLOW and SHEZA ALIBI Winx Stakes Randwick 21/08

Now 5yo with top 5 finishes in his last 8 runs, but without a victory since October 2024 means he's had a hard-earned "non-winner" tag, but this blistering trial says he's in for a super prep. -7.3 at the 800 stalking the lead, before a booming 8.7 length midrace going +1.3 from the 800 to 400. Importantly he sustained it closing with +3.2 last 400, and it included a one length slowdown from the 400 to 200. Further clarity is seen via the 2nd best last 800, best last 600 and 2nd best last 400 of the very strong session. The stable are specialists with first up runners and he deserves great respect when coming to the races.

Subsequently: Winner Goulburn Cup at $14! 

7yo who switched stables last prep, but continued his good quality performances in the provincial series winning at Hawkesbury before running 3rd in the $1million Randwick final which he won in 2025, and this trial says he's on point for another solid prep. What needs to be underlined is the race simulation pace early stalking the lead going -1.2 and +1.9 in the first two sections in a "real" 1000 metre trial. Tapered late despite winning with just -5.7 last 400 with -3.8 of that the last 200 in isolation. His two previous resuming runs have been -0.8 twice with goals ahead. This says he is race ready if targeting first up.

Subsequently: Group 3 0.5 length 3rd Show County at $8:50

The rock star of Australian racing making it 11 from 11. Despite it being a Group 1 domination the data strongly suggests the performance was smothered and could have been better! +0.2 at the 800 was good speed, but 4.7 lengths from the leader who was overdoing it. -2.5 from the 800 to 400 was a significant 2.7 length slowdown and that was all between the 800 and 600. Last 400 was +1.7, but she lost 1.2 lengths of speed over the last 200 with the race won. Her current PB is +4.9 when winning the Epsom - which also had a slowdown - and she could sail past that from here. 2000 looks no issue.

Subsequently: 3rd Randwick 11/04 and spelled. First up Winx winner 22/08
