TRIAL POINTERS

WARWICK FARM August 5: The quickest time in the three 816m heats was recorded by the pacy ACAPPELLA SUN (47.66; 33.15). 

ROSEHILL July 29: Zoustar filly SEIRYU was one of the better maiden winners. She has won her last three trials and her sharp acceleration to run down a tearaway leader for a soft win in her 900m heat (56.29; 36.58) made an impression

GOSFORD July 29: Unraced Zoustar colt SCIENTIST looks a nice prospect after cruising to a soft win in his 1000m heat (62.89; 37.56) to back up an earlier trial win at Randwick on July 8.
