Top Derby trial

- — Michael Guerin

Victorian three-year-old Rising Red should have done enough in winning at Sandown yesterday to earn himself a trip to the NZ Derby at Ellerslie next week. The big gelding made it two wins from seven starts when justifying his hot favouritis­m in the hands of Dwayne Dunn and now looks set to return home for former Kiwi trainers Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young. The strong staying performanc­e sees Rising Red move into $14 with the TAB for the classic on Saturday week.
