1st Legislate (Fourie/Snaith 7yoh MR117 A 60kg draw 3) The champ put in a sterling comeback gallop after being found to have fertility problems at stud. 59.49 seconds
2nd 1,75 Pinot Gris (Ferraris -4 kg/G H Van Zyl 2yoc A 57kg draw 6) This small Silvano colt was having his second barrier trial and displayed a good action. He has some natural pace as he was not asked to do a lot. 59.81 seconds
3rd 3,75 Generous Lady (Moodley -1.5 kg/Lafferty 2yof A 56kg draw 4) This unraced Philanthropist filly has some substance and did it easily throughout. 60.18 seconds
4th 9,25 Cruising Speed (Sakayi -4 kg/G H Van Zyl 2yoc A 57kg draw 5) This Pomodoro colt was having his second barrier trial and was still green. He threw his head up at the start and then had to be pushed along and given a back-hander. 61.22 seconds
5th 9,30 Solicitor General (Godden/Dittmer 2yoc A 57kg draw 2) This unraced Brave Tin Soldier colt fly-jumped and then showed some early pace but was unable to keep up with the leaders in the testing conditions despite being urged along. 61.23 seconds
6th 9,35 Don’t Look Back (Wrogemann/G H Van Zyl 2yoc A 57kg draw 1) This two-year-old Judpot colt was having his second barrier trial. He has some substance and showed fair cruising speed but tired in the closing stages in the testing conditions. 61.24 seconds
7th 9,45 Bangkok (Kennedy/G H Van Zyl 2yog AB 57kg draw 8) This two-year-old Judpot gelding was well beaten in a race against winners having earlier done quite well in an 800m barrier trial. He was soon wilting in the testing conditions but does have scope for improvement. 61.25 seconds
8th 14,70 Cruise Cruz (Veale/G H Van Zyl 2yoc S 57kg draw 7) This two-year-old Bold Silvano colt has some scope and substance and a fair action but was soon wilting in the testing conditions. Can improve. 62.28 seconds
