The Rosehill trials on Friday saw four two-year-old heats on a soft track with an All Too hard youngster looking good again, and a Zoustar colt that looks to be warming to the task nicely.
Heat seven saw the unraced All Too Hard gelding Way Too Hard look good again at his second trial this preparation.
Sitting off the pace under Tyler Schiller he stretched out impressively to find the line best and he’s now won both his trials this preparation after winning at Rosehill on May 11.
A $140,000 buy for his trainers Hawkes Racing from Vinery Stud at Inglis Classic, he’s out of the Lonhro mare Lonyx from a largely Queensland family which includes stakes winners Sexy Eyes and Tina Melina.
Second was Hisame (2f Extreme Choice x Flying Eyes) for Bjorn Baker.
Having her second trial, she was a $425,000 buy for Resolute Racing from Newgate at Magic Millions Coast from a Group II winner and Group I placed mare from South Africa.
Third was also interesting – the unraced Stonecrest (2c Snitzel x Chateau Cheval) is the full brother to Best Of Bordeaux and was a $650,000 buy for Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Racing/Kestrel Thoroughbreds/Kia Ora Stud from Baramul Stud at Magic Millions Gold Coast.
Heat eight saw the first trial win for the Chris Waller trained unraced Zoustar youngster Klocke, although he has indicated talent in his previous trials.
Ridden quietly by James McDonald, he was brought with a strong finish down the outside to beat Napolean Hill (Written By) and Internal Affairs (Home Affairs)
Klocke is out of Street Sense mare Sense Of Hite (NZ) and is a half-brother to Group I Australian Oaks placegetter Quintessa. He was a $500,000 buy for Tom Magnier and Eric Koh from Silverdale Farm at Magic Millions Gold Coast.
It was his second trial this campaign after placing at Rosehill on May 11, and back in February also looked good splitting Paradoxium and Central Europe when second in a trial at Rosehill.
Heat nine gave us a first look at Stormin’ by first season sire Acrobat.
Showing good gate speed, he sat on pace for Rory Hutchings before kicking nicely into the straight and keeping a strong gallop to the line to win convincingly..
He’s the third foal of Written Tycoon mate Wooshka, from a family which includes group winners Laura’s Charm and Laura’s Express.
Stormin’ was a $36,000 buy for his trainers Lee and Cherie Curtis from Telemon Thoroughbreds at Magic Millions Gold Coast.
The other heat winner was Woodenbridge (Wootton Bassett)
