Spring Stars Trial at Rosehill

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday August 6

The Rosehill trials on Tuesday morning featured four heats for Group and Listed winners with the first of them won by Tropical Squall in her new Yulong colours and the other three all held plenty of interest.

Newly gelded Group I winner Tom Kitten continued his spring build up with another good effort to win his heat that also featured Group I winners Zardozi and Fangirl, who has just out to take in the scenery.

A two time winner last season, Shalaa (IRE) filly Winning Proposal set a brisk pace to lead and win with Joliestar looking menacing as a hard held second.
