TRIAL POINTERS

ROSEHILL October 4: ADMITTED, a winner on debut at Bendigo last season before starting favourite in the Maribyrnong Plate, impressed with his strong work to lead throughout in his open 900m heat (55.00; 34.70) under a big hold and hold an advantage over G1 star STEFI MAGNETICA over the last 100m. Watch for ADMITTED to make his return as he is eligible for low class restricted races.

WARWICK FARM September 30: Well-known front runner IKNOWASTAR sped to a huge win in the fastest 1207m heat (72.37; 35.24), leading on the turn by 15 lengths and coasting home by 12 lengths in a sterling hitout that will have him ready to perform in a suitable event over the carnival. Other carnival prospects to show good form in their prep trials included BALLROOM BELLA, ENCAP, TERRITORY EXPRESS and  OLENTIA. In the maiden heats a notable effort from CIRCLE OF LOVE was a good indicator.

CANTERBURY September 24: Fastest time in the heats over 896m was recorded by RAINBOW GODDESS (54.29; 34.86).

HAWKESBURY September 17: Unraced maiden HARDHEAD is ready to make his mark when he goes to the races.

ROSEHILL September 16: The quickest 900m heat was won by the Baker-trained IKNOWASTAR (53.86; 33.72), doing his best work over the last 100m to run past the leader BALLROOM BELLA. Import COCO JAMBOO (3rd) also impressed in her 1030m heat (62.77; 35.01).

WYONG September 9: In the maiden heats the newcomer EMERY looked raw and awkward but made a good impression winning her 845m trial in smart time (50.53; 34.91).
