There were four heats won by juveniles at the Randwick trials on Monday with winners including the unraced half-sister to Tentyris and a flashy son of Extreme Choice that will be a head-turner when he steps into the mounting yard on race day.
Also in action were New Zealand Oaks winner Ohope Wins, having her first public outing for new trainer Chris Waller with James McDonald on board.
She settled a clear last in her heat and warmed up late to finish on the bridle in sixth place with the Group I ATC Vinery Stud Stakes next Saturday on the radar.
2024 Golden Slipper winer Lady of Camelot was having her first trial in a long time having not been sighted since running third in last year’s Group I ATC Coolmore Classic won by Lady Shenandoah.
She went around in a 740m scamper and travelled wide throughout with Tim Clark on board and surged home under a hold for second to slick mare Spirit of Wealth.
Anthony and Sam Freedman have enjoyed G1 success with Tentyris and they also put the polish on his half-sister by Blue Point (IRE) called Parcae. She was having her third trial and second this prep producing her best effort to date.
She found the line well for Tim Clark to power home and win by half a length.
The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained Extremely Tempted was having his second trial after a good second on March 2 behind expensive colt The Next Episode, who has since come out and won a midweek metro maiden.
The flashy chestnut began quickly for Regan Bayliss, but was happy to sit outside the leader covering ground and then over the final furlong he was given a send along and duly skipped clear to win by two and a half lengths.
He was a $550,000 Magic Millions purchase for Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Racing/Kestrel Thoroughbreds/Kia Ora Stud from Newgate, who will offer his full brother at Inglis Easter as Lot 142.
Extremely Tempted is from Group III winner Tempt Me Not, a grand-daughter of outstanding dual Group I winning filly Tempest Morn, who was a Gooree Stud homebred prepare by Gai Waterhouse.
Additional winners were: Portico (Exceed and Excel) and Tenenbaum (Snitzel).
