Golden Boa For Gore

j “The Press** Special Service p INVERCARGILL. ’ Golden Boa, which j 1 made a one-horse race ]j of the main event on . j the first day’ of t h e < Gore Racing Club’s i meeting last Saturday’, 1 has every chance of j adding the Gore Gold j Cup to her record to- i morrow. 1 Warfare, a winner over I < seven furlongs at Riccarton I during the week, will prob- 1 ably be her best-backed rival, i The Gore Cup is the first leg of, the T.A.B. double. 1 The second is the Chariton Handicap, in which Lisa, a : first-day winner. appears I; | likely to win again. The weather has been fine I : and the track will be hard and fast. In the Gore Racing Club Handicap last week, Golden, Boa gave nothing else a. ] chance over the closing stages | I to score one of the easiest* 'open handicap wins in the south for some time. At Gore yesterday morning [she came through her final ]Cup trial in dashing style. The distance last week ' was a mile and a quarter, the ] same as for the cup. Notable among the newcomers in the field are War-’ fare and Tundra. Tundra, a defection from ] (the Gore Racing Club Handi- : cap after she suffered a kick.; looked fit at Gore yesterday. She has freshed up since a i disappointing effort at Inver-f cargill last month. Solicitor led the chase -after Golden Boa over the (last furlong last week, but I he was more than six lengths back at the finish. His placing was in line with the good | form he has shown over

l middle distances in the] south this season and he is I expected again to be there] at the finish. Golden Glen and’ Cass-] bridge were set stiff tasks in] a fast race last week, Golden! Glen because he drifted in the middle stages. He was! battling on at the finish, a! neck behind the third horse. Flyway, and if he can hold a] handy position must be a] prospect. Flyway’s placing was a promising debut in open company. He has a solid background of hack form and looks ready to race up to it in the higher grade. Bellbridge set a fast pace I for more than a mile last week and faded to sixth. His effort was not without merit; land with the services of A. IH. Eastwood he should run a bold front-running race | again. \ Selections: 11.45 a.m. Mandeville High-weight: Lord Howe, Flisk, Chimaera. 12.20 p.m.—Gordon Maiden Stakes: Arabian Light, Bella Maree, Fairarook. 12.55 p.m.—Apprentices’ Handicap: Happy Days, Faraj, Alpine Light. 1.30 p.m. Riversdale Plate: Queenscliff, Midmeadow Maid, Ranana. 2.10 p.m.—Gore Gold Cup: Golden Boa, Warfare, Tundra. 2.55 p.m.—Mataura Handicap: Magic Mirror, Irish Gloss, Belfie.
