Lilac Stride

This mare trialed tue 27th Dec ( 8 days ago) & i honestly was supprised to see her in at Menangle on Friday.....I thought something had gone amiss with her as she trialed very ordinary . She dropped out of the trial after doing no work , even after being smacked on a few occasions the rest ran away from her, beaten 28 mtrs & they didnt break any track records . I'M NOT HAVING A GO AT ANYONE JUST SAYING I AM SUPPRISED SHES RACING FRI .

It will be a good training feat if she can turn that poor trial around.

Id suggest there was a good reason behind that trial failure - maybe she was in season??

A week earlier she trialled very well being beaten a neck and going 1.54

Good point Mighty, we all know how mares can be on one day, completely off the next. It was an average trial on face value though.

Maybe she's trained on since then, maybe Luke upped her work and plus the fact that the race is worth $22k and the field is only a fair with respect that McCarthy's expecting improvement.

As you said, the week before she trialled good in .54 so hopefully she's back on the job tomorrow.

Thats correct in she did trial in 1.54.6 & yes maybe she was in season but on face value (as Nathan said) I would have been disappointed if she went that far backwards , 7 days after the first trial .

Perhaps she'll win hard held by eight metres in 1:53.0
