TRIAL POINTERS

WARWICK FARM December 22: Short course specialist SHEZANALISTER has two wins and five placings up to 1100m and is in the right form to add to her record in the right company after sprinting to an easy win in her fast 816m heat (47.58; 33.11). Liked the way she opened up over the last 300m to cruise home by six lengths.

RANDWICK December 11: Promising 3YO KITTY CHAT, placed in a strong maiden that has produced a G1 winner, put in another impressive trial effort to win her 1050m heat under a kind ride (63.19; 34.30).

RANDWICK November 20: Menari filly KITTY CHAT has been a trial star from day one and was at short odds in her only start last season when she finished second at Warwick Farm, splitting two top class fillies in Joliestar and Arctic Glamour. She’s back in a big way as she surged to the line under a strong hold to win her first-up trial over 740m (43.67; 33.38), just don’t expect a generous price when she resumes in a maiden.
