Desert Chief And Warfare Picked

“The Press" Special Service

DUNEDIN, June 2. Desert Chief, in the Provincial Handicap, and Warfare, in the Members’ Handicap, may be the winning T.A.B. double combination at Wingatui tomorrow when the

Dunedin Jockey Club will hold the second day of its winter meeting. Desert Chief won the Birthday Handicap so well on Saturday that a 61b rise in weight over a furlong less should not prejudice his prospects.

The weather has been fine so with a firm track likely it will enhacne his chance. Kumai, which covered extra ground on Saturday will also come into support The Riccarton candidate. Donna Maria, looks the best of the others

Warfare was withdrawn from the sprint on the first day in favour of Palisade She is a class galloper and likely to be a warm favourite in a weak field.

Tfiie Wanderer and Duplex make most appeal of the others. The on-course double will ■ be on the Novice Stakes and the • Southern Improvers' Handicap in which the Soutaine-Fine Chase bracket and Mogambo is a likely combination. Impressive Fifth Soutalne has had only one start—at Ashburton—but he impressed by finishing fifth after bucking out of the stalls. With a secone’, a fourth and a second in his last three races. Fine Chase also has the credentials to feature in the finish Wog. a fast-finishing second to Belltana on Saturday, and Great How. which was third at his last two starts, make most appeal of the others in ’he first leg Mogambo, which has been consistently placed in recent races, should be well suited by the distance of the Southern Improvers’ Handicap Six furlongs will also be to the advantage of Golderi Glen, First Mink and Bustup Grant won the corresponding event on the first day so convincingly that his rise in the weights from 9-5 to 9-13 should not seriously prejudice hit prospects In the Roslyn Hack and Hunters’ Steeplechase

Goodbye, which was closest to Grant at the finish on Ssturdav will also come in

foi support as will Delwood, which came from well back for third place on the first day. The best of the lightweights may be Runty He raced well below his best on the first day of the meeting Brilliant Jumping Hunting Horn’s brilliant jumping was one of the main factors of his winning bid in the Greenfield Hurdles on Saturday. A repetition of that effort would bring him into favour for the June Hack Hurdles The top-weight, Ravelston. has been runner-up in his last five races and is due for a winning turn. Slatey and Regal Order look the best of the others. Royal Bid had to turn on a particularly fine performance to finish fourth in the mile Intermediate hack race on Saturday He will have a chance to make amends in the Momona Intermediate Hack Handicap in which he is second top-weight with 9-1 Cobble (9-2) will appreciate the furlong less of today’s race as will Sir Athol, which lest first by a nose to Sir Anthony on Saturday.
