Exciting Galileo Rock 'in great form' Trainer David Wachman is waiting for good ground before promising three-year-old Galileo Rock makes his seasonal debut. Very impressive when winning his maiden at Leopardstown by seven lengths last August, the only other start as a juvenile for the Galileo colt came when a creditable fifth to Trading Leather in the Group Three Autumn Stakes at Newmarket. Galileo Rock still holds an engagement in the Investec Derby at Epson, for which he is around a 33-1 chance, and is also entered in the bet365 Classic Trial at Sandown on Friday. Wachman said: "He's in great form but he needs good ground and that's very difficult to find in this country at the moment. "Our hands are a bit tied at the moment, he is bred to want a trip and we will certainly be stepping him up in distance." The County Tipperary handler also had news of filly Hint Of A Tint, who beat only one home when favourite for the Leopardstown 1,000 Guineas Trial. Wachman said: "She seems to be fine. She won on heavy ground before, so I couldn't put the ground forward as any excuse for her run at Leopardstown. "We will just have to see how she is over the next few weeks before making any plans for her."
