Juvenile Trial Watch – Randwick

Tara Madgwick - Friday Mar 27

Three trials at Randwick on Friday morning were won by juvenile fillies and all of them have contested stakes races and no doubt have stakes goals on the radar at The Championships over the next two weeks.

The Lindsay Park trained filly Medicinal has won two of three starts, most recently winning the Group III VRC Ottawa Stakes on March 7. The daughter of Brazen Beau looked very professional in winning her 1050m heat by a length and a half over unraced Enshooda with twice Group placed filly Screen Icon in third place.

The Waterhouse Bott trained Home Invasion was a close fifth on debut in the Group III ATC Gimcrack Stakes last spring and then had two more trials late last year with a view to the MM 2YO Classic, but was ultimately spelled with this hit out her fist in public this year.

She jumped fast to lead all the way and win by a length and a half over the late closer Belvante, who had blinkers on for the first time and showed marked improvement on his race day debut when only seventh at Warwick Farm to The Next Episode.

Also from the Waterhouse Bott stable, Russian Revolution filly Lumbini was given a tick over trial after her good second to Pembrey in the Group II ATC Magic Night Stakes. She led all the way and looked to do it quite comfortably and will be ready for another crack at Black Type.
