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.
