RANDWICK September 10
MAHISARA (Paul Messara): The further they went the better he went as he cleared out to score by eight lengths over 1050m in fast time. Others didn’t chase but he looked very sharp. Classy types King Gladiator and Elite Falls were given easy times behind him.
COMBAT KITTY (Matt Smith): Settled at the rear before unleashing sharp sprint from 300m to win her 1050m heat. Famous Seamus went as good as the winner finishing second in a strong trial.
HURTLE MYRTLE (Matt Smith): Sprinted from off the pace and too classy for her rivals in 1050m heat indicated she is coming up well. Liked the effort of Appearance having an easy time back in the pack.
ZUZICHKA (John O'Shea): Railed on turn from third and opened up off slow first sectional with a good turn of foot to win easily. Time was slow but has promise.
TEMPO MAN (John O'Shea): Tracked wide all the way but pulled his way to the front and had them well covered in his 1050m heat. Tinsley Green stretched out well running on late.

Eased down on line.RENEWED VITALITY (John Thompson): Fastest of the heat winners over 738m, letting down nicely from off the pace against some smart types. Good trials from Quick Peek and Destruction while Red Tracer was asked for no effort sitting back at the rear.
