It’s the exciting time of year where the 2-year-olds hit the track but it’s hard to know who is going to be the real deal or who is going to struggle. @Deanwatling has taken a look at the barrier trials and given us his analysis and selections.

Very big filly, lovely trial when found out late. Sat on speed and battled on well in 2nd fastest trial of the morning. Didn’t handle the tight Kensington turn, Randwick will suit better. Blinkers on in trial and stay on for race day. Place chance.

Great gate speed, jumped well. settled midfield in fast tempo heat, responded nicely to solid riding to win the trial ears pricked. Fastest overall time 50.08, L600 in 34.17. Par rode her in trial and sticks. Cost 160k. Right in this.

• Barrier: 4
• Market Price: $35

Nice looking filly, found trouble in the straight where she was held up and the eased at the 150m mark. Hard to gage trial but this assignment looks challenging.

7. Rose Sauvage

• Jockey: T Clark
• Trainer: T Bartley
• Barrier: 3
• Market Price: $19
• Assessed Price: $15

BET NOW

Very lightly framed filly but looked great in trial when under very light riding in entire straight, looked to be relaxed and doing her best work late under her own steam, just headed late by Fall on a Star.

Could be a smokey chance.

Expected Position: Pace.

8. Shani

• Jockey: G Schofield
• Trainer:  C Maher & D Eustace
• Barrier: 1
• Market Price: $51
• Assessed Price: $46

Hampered in trial when racing between horses, copped 2 nasty checks which wouldn’t have

helped her case. Slowest time of the morning hard to access.

Expected Position: Backmarker

9. Stellar Pauline

• Jockey: K McEvoy
• Trainer: P & P Snowden
• Barrier: 6
• Market Price: $4.20
• Assessed Price: $4

BET NOW

Lovely trial by this filly, best trial for mine of the morning in regards to fillys. Was produced from the rail when settling behind the leaders in the run. Hit a small gap with confidence just missing Ticket to ride. Looked to have plenty left to give. 2nd fastest trial of the morning. Take beating.

Expected Position: Midfield
