Tara’s Pride May Win At Foxton

"The trtu” Special Service PALMERSTON NTH. Conditions promise to be ideal for the Foxton Racing Club’s winter meeting and Raidan is steadily firming in favour for the first leg of the T.A.B. double.

Raidan. a winner already tn both claealc and wdght-for-age clan, ta handily weighted for today’s feature and 1« a fit contender as well.

The locally-trained Nenagh remain's Raldan’s main rival in the Cup, after a sound trial on Thursday. She Is down to have her first run at a middle distance.

Fans is third fancy, as he prefers good footing and his form Is showing steady improvement. Tara's Pride Is picked for the Hughes Handicap, a seven-fur-long sprint which should suit him. Not long ago Tara's Pride broke the Trentham mile record with an outstanding win In the George Adams Handicap. Like Raidan, he will be suited by the firming of track conditions. Wavering, winner of the Stewards' Handicap at Rlccarton. looks the one most likely to test the top-weight. The track at Foxton has been rebuilt recently, only the straight being untouched In the operation. This will make it a more testing course with a longer run In than formerly. Selections:—
