King Of Hastings wins Rosehill trial

Leading Magic Millions Guineas contender King Of Hastings has tuned up for his assignment with a barrier trial win at Rosehill.

Trained by Anthony Freedman, King Of Hastings has done all his racing so far in Victoria but handled a major clockwise test on Monday with aplomb.

He cruised to the front in the straight and beat the fast-finishing Bjorn Baker-trained Redouble by a neck.

King Of Hastings is on the third line of betting for the Guineas with the market dominated by Caulfield Guineas runner-up Alligator Blood, winner of the Vo Rogue Plate on Saturday.

Damien Oliver will ride King Of Hastings in the $2 million Guineas (1400m) on Saturday week at the Gold Coast.

The three-year-old will continue his trip north on Saturday.

Redouble will also head to Queensland to defend the Magic Millions Cup.
