Barrier Trial Greyville poly 1000m 30/09/2018
1st Unbelievable Chad 6 b g (J Jacobs – Lafferty) kicked on nicely from behind off a slow gallop. Looks ready to race. 62.51 secs.
2nd Iron Born 3 ch g (Kennedy – Gareth van Zyl) pace throughout and allowed to run along in the hands. Finished off well. 2.00 62.89 secs.
3rd Victorious Man 3 b c (Zackey – Lafferty) back early but kicked on smartly in the run to the line. Smart trial. 2.25 62.94 secs.
4th Magical Java 3 ch f (Veale – Drier) showed pace but was kept hard to her task all the way to the line. 2.75 63.04 secs.
5th Sauvage 3 b g (Moodley – Lafferty) ran on one-paced throughout. Stayed on nicely at the end but looks like he needs ground. 3.50 63.18 secs.
6th Southern Dynasty 3 b f (Ferraris – Naidoo) ran a similar trial to Sauvage. Finished off his gallop nicely. 5.00 63.48 secs.
7th Miss Xun 3 b f (Randolph – Rivalland) showed early toe but was out-paced in the run to the line although not asked to much. May prefer much further. 9.25 64.32 secs.
8th Mistral Rider 3 b g (Ngwane – Howells) jumped out sideways hampering Great Crusade. Showed a smooth action and just allowed to bowl along. Looks capable of good improvement. 12.25 64.93 secs.
9th Kitty Chan 3 b f (Samuel – Drier) showed early but was ridden out in the straight. Not persevered with and went steadily backwards. 13.25 65.14 secs.
10th Great Crusade 3 b g (Brown – Goosen) badly hampered at the start losing many lengths. Pushed along in the straight but made little impression. 13.75 65.24 secs.
11th Irish Spice 3 b f (Sakayi – Govender) never in it. Asked for an effort in the straight but never quickened. Still very green. 38.00 70.7 secs.
