Bewitched Likely To Start

“The Press’* Special Service AUCKLAND. Tlie Christchurch [ reins man, D. Mangos, will almost certainly arrive in Auckland this evening in time to drive Bewitched at Alexandra Park. This will ensure that G. B. Noble’s bracket Noble’s other candidate is the champion three-year-old, Garcon Roux—will be a pronounced favourite for the Minton Derby Handicap. Noble said yesterday that Mangos had been able to obtain a seat on a plane due to arrive from Wellington at 7.30 p.m. He repeated, however, that if for some reason Mangos did not reach the park in time, Bewitched would not start. Hectic Day As long as the plane is not delayed, Mangos should have no problem, because transport from the airport has been arranged, and the race will not start until 8.40 p.m. It will be a hectic day for Mangos. He will be driving and looking after members of Noble’s team engaged at the Nelson meeting until after the fifth race at 3.20 p.m. Well Drawn on Limit Bewitched and Garcon Roux have done particularly well since they showed grand form at Tauranga on Monday. Well drawn on the limit, both could finish in the money. The North Island’s big four among the trotters—Mountain Pride, Rannach Lad. Single Cash and Highland Flight—seem sure to be hard to beat in the Great Admiral Handicap, the second leg of the T.A.B. double. All are in grand form. Rain over the last few days has not affected the track. It will be fast if it is fine today.
