Very small Final Touch update:

"now showing encouraging recovery signs".

Auriol was unplaced in her trial. Jason said "she worked home nicely amongst runners. While not quite the same as her first trial, she has continued to grow a lot of late and lightened up a touch because of this. We will monitor how she pulls up, but ideally I would like to give her another educational trial at the same venue on April 10. Otherwise, she may go for a spell as we have to do the best by the filly as she continues to develop physically."

Brochaine came third in his one! Jason said "he took a gap against the rail on straightening and quickened up nicely to finish third. It was a much improved performance and showed good professionalism. I was happy with the effort given a tight turning track and only 800 metres, to show good progress since being gelded. He is scheduled to trial again, over 1000 metres, on April 10 at the same venue, provided he pulls up well and we can make further assessment from there. Following which we will put him aside for a spell and return him to training ahead of his three-year-old season."
