2^nd – 2y f CAPITAL LISTING trained by A Carston

3^rd – 2y f DISNEY LADY trained by A Carston

Summary: “SANDMAN is now a two-time trial winner, on each occasion he’s sat off the speed and finished his work strongly, this time on a slow tempo he showed signs of greenness wanting to lay in, perhaps fresh coming back from a break but looks a forward type considering his breeding.”

3^rd – 4y m KITH N KIN trained by Walker & Bergerson

Summary: “Impressive trial on the poly from FIERCE FLIGHT who settled at the back of the field before working home very nicely on the bridle and not asked to pick up the leaders. He’s coming back from an Auckland Cup run at 3200m and be no surprise to see him win fresh up.”
