Promising two-year-old Beastmode is nearing the serious stage of chasing down a spot in next month’s Karaka Million (1200m) at Ellerslie.
The Spirit Of Boom colt hasn’t been seen since he finished runner-up to Sir Nate, the subsequent winner of the Listed Wellesley Stakes (1200m), over 790m at Wanganui in September.
“He’s good and he’ll trial on December 18 and then we’ll get a race into him to try to qualify for the Karaka Million,” trainer Andrew Campbell said.
