Juvenile Trial Watch – Warwick Farm

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday January 3

Five heats for two year-olds were run at Warwick Farm on Tuesday morning and all winners were trained by the Waterhouse Bott team and three of those winners are talented fillies that have already shown their potential in stakes races during the spring.

The quickest of the juvenile heats was won by Russian Revolution filly Perfect Proposal, who led all the way at her only start to beat all bar Platinum Jubilee in the Group III ATC Gimcrack Stakes.

She looked fast and professional here, but the trial of runner-up Learning to Fly was also an eye-catcher as she finished right beside the winner with more than four lengths back to third.

Trained by Annabel Neasham, runner-up Learning to Fly was the equal most expensive filly from the first crop of Triple Crown winner Justify (USA) when fetching $900,000 at Inglis Easter and she is bred for speed.

She is from juvenile stakes-winner Ennis Hill, a sister to juvenile stakes-winners Lake Geneva and Acrobat and daughter of prolific stakes producer and Group II Resiling Stakes winner Hips Don’t Lie. If there is an obvious Justify to fire up at two, you’d have your money on her.

Second at her only start in the Listed VRC Maribyrnong Trial, Exceed and Excel filly Aditi did everything right to win her first trial since then and the runner-up Zoustar filly Mumbai Muse was also noteworthy.

The Michael Freedman trained Mumbai Muse was quietly away and allowed to find her feet before working home along the fence under a hold for an impressive second.

A $525,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Michael Freedman Racing / Julian Blaxland Bloodstock, Mumbai Muse is a sibling to Japanese stakes-winner Jazz Etude and a couple of stakes placed horses being from Mumbai Rock, who has had four to race all winners and I don’t think Mumbai Muse will have too much trouble being number five.

I Am Invincible filly Sicilian won easily at the official Sydney 2YO trials and then finished sixth in the heavy ground in the Gimcrack Stakes and was having her first trial since then. She showed the speed you would expect to lead and kept up a good gallop with the runner-up Madeira Sunrise, another I Am Invincible filly, doing a great job at her first trial to go with her.

Yarraman Park will offer the full sister to Sicilian at Magic Millions as Lot 262 and she looks a lovely type like her sister.

I Am Invincible had a third filly in this heat with the Godolphin homebred Shaken doing more wrong than right to finish last, that said she’s out of Group I MRC Blue Diamond winner Earthquake, so I’ll be keen to see her again when her manners are improved as this was no guide to her talent.

Additional winners were: Coincide (Invader) and Ganbare (Maurice (Jpn).
