Barrier Trial Greyville poly 1000m 14/10/2018
1st My Majestic Glory (AUS) (Kennedy/Lafferty MR86 A 60kg draw 3) Returned from a layoff of four months and over raced early so did well to stride out well to the line. 59.13 seconds
2nd 0,50 Hack Green (Veale/Drier MR98 SB 60kg draw 10) Returned from a five month layoff and strode out quite well. He will come on from this outing. 59.22 seconds
3rd 4,00 Coldhardcash (Yeni/Howells A 59kg draw 8) This unraced What A Winter colt has some substance and is well regarded. He showed some pace and stayed on well considering he was up against a useful pair of older speedsters. 59.86 seconds
4th 5,75 It’s My Turn (De Melo/Kannemeyer MR108 a 60kg draw 1) The Equus Champion Stayer was appearing for the first time since his Gold Cup victory and looked well and strode out well. 60.18 seconds
5th 6,50 Noble Beat (Ngwane/Howells A 59kg draw 7) This unraced Noble Tune gelding was having his second barrier trial and raced a bit strongly but then stayed on well with a nice action so if learning to settle could have promise. 60.33 seconds
6th 6,55 Duke’s Dozen (B Lerena/B Crawford A 59kg draw 12) This Duke Of Marmalade gelding had run in one previous trial and had one disappointing race. He showed good pace to go to the front from the widest draw. He tired in the final stages but is immature and can improve. 60.33 seconds
7th 8,05 Final Attempt (Bantam -2.5 kg/G S Kotzen A 59kg draw 5) This unraced Byword gelding dwelt and was green and then had to be switched in the straight. He is an athletic sort and he showed some acceleration and a fair action. 60.62 seconds
8th 8,55 Waiting For Change (Moodley/Hill S 58kg draw 11) This unraced Await The Dawn filly had one previous barrier trial. She is not the biggest and has a rangy action so will appreciate further. Showed some early pace but was unable to go with them as they turned for home. 60.71 seconds
9th 10,30 Dash Valley (Pagel/G S Kotzen A 59kg draw 6) This Marchfield colt has had two poor races. He was outpaced and a touch one paced in the straight. 61.05 seconds
10th 17,05 Light Lake (Sakayi -2.5 kg/G S Kotzen A 58kg draw 4) This unraced Elusive Fort filly was green and outpaced and was soon out of the picture. 62.37 seconds
11th 17,20 Calling Lily (Gates -4 kg/G S Kotzen S 58kg draw 2) This unraced Announce filly was green and outpaced throughout. 62.4 seconds
12th 19,45 Home Ruler (Ferraris -1.5 kg/Drier S 58kg draw 9) This unraced Pathfork filly was slow away and green and outpaced throughout. 62.86 seconds
