RACING Persian Star May Win At Pukekohe

"The Presi" Special Service

AUCKLAND. Nov. 30. Considerable interest will be taken in the outcome of the Auckland Cup Trial at Pukekohe as an early form pointer for the big handicap* to be contested in the next month or so. Persian Star, Foxdonna and Woodlora might dispute the finish, but they are opposed by a good collection of stayers. The Auckland Cup Trial, one mile and a half, is the first leg of the TA.B. double at the Franklin Racing Club’s first summer meeting.

The longer distances seem to suit Persian Star best. A solid gallop at Takanini on Thursday showed he is in grand condition. At his most recent appearance Persian Star ran a bold race for fifth in the Waikato Gold Cup. Woodlore Is a noted specialist on the course. His wins Include three Franklin Cups. Foxdonna, a five-year-old mare from Hawera. is a dour stayer. Four starts back she beat Stipulate in the T. H. Lowry Handicap at Hastings on September 29. Meantime she ha* gained a third and a fifth in the best of company. The second leg or the T.A.B. double is on the Paerata Handicap. in which there are some notable speedster* engaged. Pipe Dream a fast three-year-old from Takanini. looks well placed with 7-12 and is certain to be a popular fancy. Texarkana, Yara and Terrorist are the trio which may Offer Pipe Dream most opposition. Selections:—
