Juvenile Trial Watch - Rosehill

Tara Madgwick - Monday December 18

Four heats for juveniles at Rosehill on Monday morning and winners by Snitzel, Capitalist and first season sire D’Argento with the quickest of the heat winners sired by Justify (USA) and trained by Annabel Neasham.

Neasham had a lot of success last season with another Justify filly in Learning to Fly and looks to have another nice one by the same sire. Lilac improved on her first trial when she finished third earlier in the month and was strong to the line this time winning by along neck in 53.91 seconds.

The Peter and Paul Snowden trained Capitalist colt King of Roseau was having his third trial and second this prep and it showed. He was too fast and professional, jumping straight to the lead and controlling the front before skipping clear under a hold to win as he pleased.

The fourth trial winner was the Team Hawkes trained Snitzel filly Dark Arts, who did a nice job to win her second trial in slow time after placing in her previous, but the eye-catching run came from the Godolphin bred Harry Angel (IRE) colt Tarpaulin, who flew home from last for second.
