Belleluia’s good trial

Belleluia pleased me when running fourth in an 800 metre barrier trial yesterday at Cranbourne Training Complex. She was in Trial 8 and they will be replayed on the TVN racing channel this evening. Ivan Culliver rode her and was happy with her performance. She was still slowly away but will improve for the experience of yesterday. She settled well in midfield and when he asked her to quicken she struggled on the heavy ground but he was pleased with her incentive to want to give and sprint, and he believes that when the tracks are firmer she will be a lot better on better ground.

She is not fully fit yet so yesterdays trial will bring her condition on also. All in all I was very pleased with yesterdays performance, she is shedding her winter coat and I believe with sustained training she will be ready to go to the races in the early part of the November, possibly Kilmore on the 1st but we will not finalise that until I see how she trains in the next week. I am very pleased with what I see and I will update next week.
