Two heats for juveniles at Rosehill on Monday morning were won by youngsters having their first outing by Too Darn Hot (GB) and Harry Angel (IRE).
The Waterhouse Bott stable won the first of these 900m heats with Too Darn Hot filly Witkowin, who produced a typical effort from a 2YO from this camp, jumping straight to the front and leading all the way to win by a length and a half.
Sword of State filly Jenni in Rome was an interesting runner given she bolted in at her previous trial at the end of last month and this time was restrained throughout to finish fifth.

A $300,000 Inglis Classic purchase from Monarch stud Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Racing / Kestrel Thoroughbreds / Kurrinda Bloodstock, Witkowin runs in the same Kurrinda Bloodstock colours as Too Darn Hot filly Shiki, who won the G3 Gimcrack Stakes for the Waterhouse Bott team last year.
She is a half-sister to two winners from a grand-daughter of stakes-winner La Lagune, who placed in a G1 Blue Diamond.
The second heat was run in much slower time as they dawdled from the gates until the Chris Waller trained Harry Angel (IRE) colt took up the lead for Sam Clipperton and stayed there to win by half a length over a couple of Woootton Bassett (GB) colts

A $220,000 Inglis Premier purchase for China Horse Club / Newgate Bloodstock & Partners from Shadow Hill Thoroughbreds, Rising Tiger is probably not the sort of obvious stallion prospect type colt to run in these colours, but you can’t underestimate his sire Harry Angel.
Yulong already have his G1 winning son Private Harry on their stallion roster and will have another next spring in Angel Capital, and if they kick a goal, you expect more Harry Angel sons to follow.
Rising Tiger not short of pedigree being from a three-quarter sister to Group winners Kuroshio and Believe ‘n’ Succeed, the dam of Epsom Derby winner Anthony Van Dyck and G1 winning sprinter Bounding.
