Four heats at the Warwick Farm trials on Friday were won by juveniles that included a smart filly down from Queensland that has entries for both the G1 Sires’ Produce Stakes and G2 Percy Sykes.
The Annabel and Rob Archibald trained Lucky Vega (IRE) filly Cherry Bombshell has two wins at Eagle Farm from three starts in Queensland and looked very comfortable in her trial, travelling deep and cruising clear to win by more than a length for Sam Clipperton.
Her two wins have been at 1000m, but hard not to think she would be effective over a bit further.
I can’t recall the Waterhouse Bott stable producing a winner for Champion Thoroughbreds, but Pinatubo (IRE) filly Low Key might change that. She was ridden along at her second trial to win by half a length and nice effort from Switzerland’s full brother St Gotthard to work into third at his first trial this prep and second overall.
Wild Ruler has a live chance in the Golden Slipper in Stretan Ruler and also had a nice trial winner here in the Annabel and Rob Archibald trained colt Priory Park, who scored a narrow win over late closer Titan Punch, the full brother to G1 winner and sire Super Seth.
Was the first trial for Titan Punch and we’re looking forward to seeing him again with the longer 2YO races sure to be right up his alley.
Priory Park is the first foal of stakes-winner Incredulous Dream and is grey in colour thanks to his female line which traces back to fifth dam Pure of Heart (IRE), a dashing grey Godswalk mare that won the Group I STC George Ryder Stakes way back in 1982.
Additional winner was Better Off Alone (Better Than Ready).
