TRIAL POINTERS
CANTERBURY May 5: Godolphin's top shelf 3YOs AFT CABIN and VILANA had prep trials for their Brisbane campaigns. James McDonald gave AFT CABIN an easy time finishing a close fourth in a solid heat over 898m with VILANA trialled well within himself for Zac Lloyd, finishing second in his 900m heat. Smart 4YO mare AFRICAN DAISY looks in good form to resume after a strong win her open heat over 1100m (71.69; 37.50). She's won three of her 12 starts up to 1500m and the way she surged clear over the last 200m after sitting outside the leader points to more success.
RANDWICK May 1: Gun sprinter GIGA KICK was the star of the show with a perfect trial to prepare him for his Brisbane assault. Craig Williams allowed him to find his legs in the first 200m of his 1045m heat, settling second last some nine lengths from the leader before allowing the gelding to slide forward four wide from the 700m. Williams sat quietly as GIGA KICK made up the ground easily and it was a pleasure to watch him work through his gears under no pressure for a soft win. It wasn't the fastest heat over the distance (63.34) but he reeled off a quick last 600m (34.73). There were some nice trials behind him with QUANTICO closing off fast for second. There was an impressive piece of work by lightly raced 3YO MARTIAL MUSIC to win his open heat over 737m against some well performed rivals in fast time (42.85; 33.87). Was keen to run and easily maintained a good margin over the chasers with plenty in hand.
RANDWICK April 3 (Poly): Lightly raced 5YO GUNDY BRIDGE is shaping as an excellent prospect after another impressive trial. Controlled his strong open heat over 1080m (64.00; 33.31) from the start and was always travelling well within himself to hold a clear advantage to the line.
