After his shock defeat last month, trainer Emma Stewart is keeping her options open with Group 1-winning trotter Cover Of Darkness, who qualified for standing start races with an impressive trial at Tabcorp Park Melton on Tuesday.
Although he was beaten by David Miles’ Enchanted Stride, it was an eye-catching display from the son of Majestic Son, who made up good ground from his 30m backmark and overcame severe interference from a galloping rival at the home turn.
The field clocked a last half mile of 58.29sec, with Cover Of Darkness beaten just a head.
