Rave reviews...The news is all good for the new crop of rising 3YOs. Some of them turned in real eye-catching effortsm at the Rosehill barrier trials. Sydney's Daily Tele says: 'Golden Slipper runners Solar Charged and Hinchinbrook won their respective heats - the former by nearly eight lengths - as did Slipper scratching Masquerader. Such was the excitement among the trainers about the horses turning three on August 1 that Solar Charged's trainer John O'Shea declared: 'This is a vintage year. It's a very good year for our rising three-year-olds...I know how good Solar Charged is and she could only finish sixth in the Slipper, even though she was unlucky in that race and should have finished in the money...She's as good a two-year-old as I've trained. I think the colts were a bit behind the eight ball in the autumn, but they look like they'll catch up later on and be headlined by the likes of Hinchinbrook.'
