The 9YO was a handy 2/3YO and also won the listed Birthday Stakes as a 4YO. Early Express (22 starts 5 wins / 9 places) last raced back in Oct 2004 when was a beaten fav in the listed Anniversary Cup. His last win was back in Nov 2003 beating Modem in the group II Lee Steere Stakes. Good luck to connections and let’s hope there’s a win or two or three around the corner for both.

Was at the track for these trials Chenille Prince and would you believe the oldtimer Victory Trump looked a lot fitter than the younger Early Express
Others that impressed were Brocky's Ace (heat 3) who finished very strongly down the outside to win with something in reserve, the George Daly trained Behn Scenic (heat 6) who was always travelling well throughout showing great accelaration over the last 200M and Dee Picked (heat 6) who also travelled well throughout and showed similar accelaration over the last bit. Dee Picked in particular looked to have something in reserve at the end of the trial
