Dashing run by Beau Trie

Beau Trie showed high speed under a good weight in training at Riccarton i yesterday in his winding-up I gallop for the Canterbury Jockey Club’s Christmas Handicap tomorrow. The free-going chestnut i had his trainer, Kelvin Quayle, up when he sped over 1400 m on the plough in! 1.30. the final 600 in 38.6. Beau Trie had good foot ing, but the plough was not! at its fastest after watering the day before, and his i times in a solo effort argued, eloquently of the six-year-old’s present level of fitness Cappello also returned ; 1:30 for 1400, but he per ! formed in company with a

Christmas Handicap rival, Hebei Lad. Cappello won the trial b\ a neck and ran his last 600 in 39.6. Nuriootpa was going well for Maurice Thornley finishing 800 m alongside Godsend in 50.2. the lasi 600 in 37.2. Earlier Nuriootpa’s stablemates. Manuka Street, and Just a Song sprinted 1400 in 1:31.6. Manuka Street was clearly the better as they ran their final GOO in 37.8, and won the gallop by a neck Deep Msstery sprinted 1400 in 1 30.6 He was shaken up to stay alongside Entourage which joined in near the 1000 The stable-

mates ran the last B(Ki in 52 and the final 600 in 39.2. Hood and Gay Partner, stablemates and fit rival candidates for the high-weight tomorrow, returned 1:32.4 for 1400 and 38.4 for the last 600. Hi Roona reeled off 600 in 37. Salvaro was paired with the two-year-old, Impel, to record 38.
