BRISBANE CUP
(N.Z. Press Association)
BRISBANE. The Sydney stayer. Tails, a son of the New Zealand champion. Dalray. looks the one to beat in the Brisbane Cup (two miles) at Eagle Farm today. Tails was impressive in winning the Winston Churthill Stakes a week ago and is strongly fancied, although he just failed to see out the two miles in the Melbourne Cup last year. Tails is the 7/2 favourite in pre-post markets with the local stayer. Panvale, and the Agricola gelding. Roman Consul, on the second line at 4/1. The New Zealand mare. Lochcourt, rated a 6/1 chance, might be hard to beat. She can see out the distance and has been working well in Brisbane. Other New Zealand-breds in the field are King Pedro, Wiedersehen, Te Kura, Affectionate and Wartax. The three-year-old Affectionate. winner on protest of the Queensland Oaks, might complete a highly successful meeting for her sire, Alcimedes. The field is: BRISBANE CUP. $35,000; 2m Roman Consul (9), Tails (3) 9-0; Lochcourt (14) 8-10; King Pedro (6) 8-7; Wiedersehen (13) 8-6; Panvale (4) 8-1; Cachondeo (15) 8-2; Stay Fresh (16) 7-10; Te Kura (8) 7-9; Affectionate (10) 7-8; Morning Joy (2) 7-6; Wartax (7) 7-5: Ampan (1), Hurry Home (11), Pirate Bird (12), Redcliffe Star (5) 7-3.
