The
Randwick barrier trials on Tuesday morning featured a host of stakes performers
gearing up for spring including Godolphin's multiple Group I winning mare Alizee
and top class juvenile filly Anaheed, who was last seen winning the $1million
Group II ATC Percy Sykes Stakes.
The James Cummings trained Alizee surged to the line for Hugh Bowman under a
hold to score a soft length and a quarter win in her 900 metre heat over
imported Scat Daddy mare Con Te Partiro (USA).
Godolphin own one of the four remaining open slots for the $14million The
Everest after purchasing Damion Flower's vacant slot earlier this month and
Alizee will be among their contenders for the race with the Group II ATC
Missile Stakes on August 10 indicated as her return assignment.
The best offspring of Golden Slipper winner Sepoy,
Alizee has already won over $2.2 million in prizemoney.
The Peter and Paul Snowden trained Fastnet Rock filly Anaheed was having her
second trial after enjoying a winter spell and hit the line full of running
under a tight hold from Tim Clark to win her 1050 metre heat by two lengths
with ears pricked.
Foaled and raised at Coolmore, Anaheed is a homebred for Sheikh Mohammed bin
Khalifa Al Maktoum and has won over $950,000 with three wins from six starts.
A couple of rising three year-olds that did not win stakes races this season,
but showed serious stakes potential in Athiri (Lonhro) and Dawn Passage (Dawn Approach
(IRE) were also winners of their respective heats.
The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained Dawn Passage won a strong 900 metre
heat for Group and Listed horses with exciting I Am Invincible filly Libertini steaming
home for second.
Both horses appeal as potential rising stars of the Sydney spring.
