All Eyes on Rosehill This Morning

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday August 6

Spring is very much in the air at Rosehill this morning with 11 Group I winners set to run in the first four heats at the trials and many are stepping out for the second time as they gear up for a return to racing at the end of the month, while at Cranbourne on Monday Pride of Jenni showed plenty of pep in her step!

Some of the stars in action include Via Sistina (IRE) and Tropical Squall in heat one and in heat two defending King Charles winner Fangirl will face up against the Godolphin stars Tom Kitten and Zardozi.

Hea three has star mare Zougotcha and a potential star three year-old in Switzerland.

Heat four sees Atishu, Hinged and Joliestar go around, the latter seen as a possible Everest contender with her spring likely to focus on sprinting.

The Ciaron Maher trained superstar Pride of Jenni was stretching her legs in a jump out at Cranbourne on Monday and looked to be in awesome shape.
