Barrier Trial Greyville poly 1000m 09/11/2018
1st Autumn In Seattle (De Melo/Lunn MR100 A 60kg draw 4) Took a keen hold from the off and led and was then held together in the straight. It was his first outing for close to nine months and he would have benefitted from it. 60.31 seconds
2nd 1,00 Pata Pata (Jacobson/B Crawford MR84 S 60kg draw 6) He was coming off a two-and-a-half month layoff and showed pace from the off and strode out well without being asked to do a lot. 60.48 seconds
3rd 2,75 Whispering Hill (Moodley/Van Wyk A 58kg draw 2) This filly by The Assayer is not big but has quite a big action. She had to be driven to maintain her handy position so will probably need further. 60.77 seconds
4th 4,00 Black Devon (Jacobs -4 kg/L Crawford MR61 60kg draw 1) In his first outing for over seven months this battling maiden strode out well without being asked to do a lot. 60.98 seconds
5th 8,00 Windcheater (Dillon/B Crawford S t 60kg draw 10) This Windrush gelding finished a well beaten fourth at Durbanville over 1400m in a belated debut. He has scope and a fair action but looks likely to need further. 61.64 seconds
6th 9,25 On The Bright Side (Kennedy/Rivalland A 58kg draw 8) This unraced Ideal World filly showed some early zip but was green and was just held together. She has the scope and rangy action typical of Ideal World’s progeny. 61.85 seconds
7th 9,75 Methane (Brown/Dittmer s 58kg draw 3) This unraced Miesque’s Approval filly is quite slight. She showed some early pace but had to be pushed along in the straight in a trial run in a slow time. 61.94 seconds
8th 10,50 Love Button (Ngwane/G Kotzen A 58kg draw 7) This unraced Marchfield filly was slowly away and green throughout. Stayed on quite well and will improve. 62.06 seconds
9th 10,65 Galinga (Pagel/Denysschen a 59kg draw 5) This unraced Toreador gelding was green throughout but has some scope and can improve. 62,09 seconds
10th 11,15 Jenna’s Inn (Randolph/N Kotzen S 58kg draw 9) This unraced Greys Inn filly is quite small but showed some zip. She was green throughout and can improve. 62.17 seconds
11th 14,15 Styler (AUS) (Zackey/N Kotzen S 58kg draw 11) This unraced Austraiian-bred filly by Turffontein has scope but was green and outpaced. 62.67 seconds
