Red Sea and Yaldi Eye Melbourne Spring Campaign

A pair of exciting young prospects from Andrew Forsman's stable are in the running to strut their stuff in Melbourne this spring, reports loveracing.nz. Stakes performers Red Sea and Yaldi were among a number of the Cambridge trainer's team in action at Tuesday's trial meeting on their home synthetic course. The 2YOs stepped out in a juvenile heat over 950m and they dominated the finish with Red Sea (Pierata-Egyptian Cross, by Commands) getting in the bob by a slender margin under rider Warren Kennedy. "How he handles that, and Warren's feedback, will determine whether we give him a run here or go straight to Melbourne. I know the connections would like to consider a Melbourne spring campaign with him," said Forsman. Yaldi (Ardrossan-Luroel, by Per Incanto) has already made his presence felt across the Tasman with a third placing in the Listed Anzac Day Stakes (1400m) at Flemington in April following his winning debut at Pukekohe Park. Forsman added, "Again, we're going to have to see how he trials at Te Rapa and then make a call whether he's best placed here in the spring if he handles rain-affected ground."
