Dual
Group I winning mare Alizee was the obvious star attraction at the Randwick
barrier trials on Monday morning steaming to an easy victory, but there were
also a couple of interesting two year-old winners including a colt by Pierro
sporting the famed cerise colours of Ingham Racing.
Last seen winning the Group I ATC Queen of the Turf Stakes back in April, the
James Cummings trained Alizee missed the spring after she was found to have
bled when preparing for her return and was immediately sent for a spell.
This morning was her second barrier trial and the daughter of Sepoy looked
sensational when coasting to the line for Kerrin McEvoy to win her 1050 metre
heat by the best part of a length and will be a force to be reckoned with when she
heads back to the track on race day.
On the juvenile front, the Chris Waller trained Pierro colt Bacchus looked
ready to go to the races after turning in a professional effort at his third
trial and second this preparation.
He worked through to lead in his 1050 metre heat for Glyn Schofield and was strong
to the line under gentle urging to hold a long neck margin over another nice
Pierro colt in Rome with Brazen Beau filly Dolci charging home for third in
what looked a competitive heat.
The winner is a homebred for Ingham Racing and is the second foal of Group III
ATC Sweet Embrace stakes winner Jade Marauder, a three-quarter sister by
Fastnet Rock to Group III winner Bliss Street.
Runner-up Rome is an interesting horse and looked good, albeit not asked to do
much at his first outing since finishing fourth to Dubious in the Group III ATC
Breeders Plate.
Trained by Peter and Paul Snowden, Rome was a $1,050,000 Magic Millions
purchase for James Harron Bloodstock and is from Exceed and Excel mare Dance
Card, a three-quarter sister to Group III winner Kaepernick.
The other juvenile heat over 740 metres was won in dazzling fashion by Dissident
filly Yitai Synergy, who has speed to burn. She led and won easily at her only
previous trial at Wyong earlier this month and did the same thing here firing
out of the gates to lead before holding a two length margin over blue-blooded
Snitzel filly Shuwaamekh, a daughter of multiple Group I winner Shamekha.
A $260,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Newgate Farm draft for Snowden
Racing, Yitai Synergy she runs for China Horse Club and Yitai Racing.
A good looking chestnut reminiscent of her grand-sire Sebring, Yitai Synergy is
the second foal of Longing, a Lonhro daughter of Group III winner Hinting.
