On the subject of Lark Hill trials Monday former top 2YO Royal Fire did a solid job to beat a good field winning the 2nd last heat of the day. His best win as a 2YO was the listed Supremacy stakes beating Shout From Maroof who ran 2nd behind Diffraction in the Karrakatta Plate and raced with great success as Natural Blitz overseas winning 8 of 9 starts in Macau - the first 8 in succession! and also ran 3rd behind Silent Witness in the 2004 group1 Hong Kong sprint.
Royal Fire raced with moderate success over east in 2004 and returned to Perth early this year. Didn’t really fire (excuse the pun  ) but has since been spelled and gelded (ouch!)
The runner-up to Royal Fire's in the trial is no slouch either - Great Nation, a winner of 8 from 11 who at his last start back in July won the listed Beaufine stakes beating Arctic Park.
