Washdyke T.A.B. Double Form

(T.A.B. Closes 12.20 p.m.J. (T.A.B. Double Closes Noon) 1.30 p.m.— DONALD GRANT MEMORIAL $1200; 14m. TAB. No. 1 5935 SANDBANK (13) 8-13 (7g Dogger Bank—Dover). Fair race for fifth against sprinters at Ashburton followed fast-finishing third in Waimate Cup. M. Thornley. 2 7514 LADY GLORY (9) 8-8 (5m Jekyll—Dame Glory). Narrow winner over Ilf at first of two starts at Dunedin winter meeting. Forced wide for good way when fourth at other appearance. Genuine mare with a liking for this distance. G. Heaton. 3 4445 GLAMIS LAD (16) 8-8 (7g Kurdistan — Glamis Castle). Did not have the best of runs when fifth over Ilf at Ashburton last week. That race, his first at a middle .distance for some time, should have improved him. E. Didham. 4 2218 WATCHMAN (8) 8-5 (5g Pakistan ll—Watch and Wait). Expensive failure over 7f at Ashburton after win at same distance at Wingatui. Middle distance form only fair. G. Gullery. 5 2247 PRINCESS MELLAY (4) 8-3 <3f Mellay—Princess Ermine). Should be one of the stronger claimants for the honours if she runs close to her top form. Won the New Zealand Oaks in November, and ran Marnie close in Wellington Oaks. Was having her first race for several weeks when she failed last time out. A. Robinson. 6 0601 RED CARPET (11) 0-1 (4g Magic Carpet—Otaio Rambler). Game run to lead for last 7f of Ilf at Ashburton last week. In stronger field this time, but might go close again. D. Reed. 7 2723 ATLANTIC FLIGHT (5) 7-13 (5m Agricola—Antarctic Flight). Usually runs her races out solidly but finding it hard to improve on' minor placings. Latest placing was behind Red Carpet and Stephanair at Ashburton. G. Wright. I 5907 HAROLD BANK (14) 7-12 (4g Dogger Bank— Weewyn). Has shown only flashes of form this year. Disappointing at Ashburton. G. Mein. 9 7539 OPSTAN (15) 7-12 (5g Kurdistan—Ops). Beaten too far from home at Ashburton to be given much of a chance here. J. Dowling. 10 7472 STEPHANAIR (3) 7-11 (5g Llanstephan—Roseair). Ran Red Carpet to a length over Ilf at Ashburton and now meets him 41b better. 11 3080 ABLE MARINER (1) 7-10 <sg The Cobbler —Sailor’s Pride). Has little to recommend him. E. Low. 12 0664 ACONITE (7) 7-10 (6g Cassock — Silver Spray). Last-start fourth at Ashburton was promising. Prospect if ground is soft or heavy. R. McCann. 13 2111 COR ALIGHT (6) 7-10 (3f Ribotlight—Mighty Coral). Looked highly promising in her autumn campaign in the lower grade, winning a double over middle distances at Nelson after a win at Blenheim. Also won C.J.C. Warstep Stakes at Easter. 14 0000 DISPLEASE (2) 7-10 (5m Dogger Bank — Offend). Form weak. B. Shaw. 14 2116 LITTLE JOHNNY (12) 7-10 (8g Faux Tirage—Fond Memory). Recent wins were over hurdles. 15 6706 PRINCE MAGUNDI (10) 7-10 (5g Prince Mahal— Periwinkle). Only fair sixth in weaker field at Ashbur-

ton. H. Warren. - Bracket: Displease and Little Johnny. (T.A.B. Closes 1.40 p.m.) 2.50 p.m.— DONCASTER HANDICAP $S00; 6f and 85yds. TAB. No. 1 4136 CAY DOCTOR (2) 8-13 (6g Jekyll—Lucky Gay). Latest win was as a miler at Wingatui. Led briefly in straight in sprint at Ashburton, but did not put up much opposition when challenged: finished sixth. 2 824 WATALLAN (14) 8-10 (6g Bellborough—Swanky). Made encouraging fresh start with a fourth over 6f at Wingatui on June 1. Previous start was at Grand National meeting. Smart sprinter under winter conditions. B. Anderton. 3 BEAU SUPREME (10) 8-9 (6g Beau Diable—Astrophelia). Has not raced for a year. Others preferred. J. Dowling. 4 58 JAY RIBBON (6) 8-8 (5g Fountainhead—Lady Velverton). Should be ready for a show' of form after tw’o races this time up. One of New Zealand's best winter milers two years ago. E. Didham. 5 2251 ROYAL MOUNT (14) 8-6 (4h Gold Sovereign—Manavecn). One of the obvious chances after sound win; over 7f at Ashburton. M. Denton. 6 90 SENATOR JACK (3) 8-3 <7h Dogger Bank—Royal I Scroll). Should be ready to show the benefit of two re-| cent races after a spell.; Competent galloper in bad! ground. G. Jackson. 7 5030 AUTOBANK (12) 8-1 f7g I Dogger Bank—Automat).; Form at best does not inspire much confidence. N. 1 Watson. 8 8558 BURNFOOT (9) 8 0 (5g Bellborough — Maritea).' Form has been only faiY. | 8 4110 SMILEY (7) 8-0 (5g | C'oinle de Grasse —Royal

Vision). Found a mile more than he could manage fresh up at Wingatui. Nothing much to commend him as a sprinter in this company. 9 5380 GAY BARON (5) 8-0 ( 6g Baron Bold—Gay Kinena). Weak run in sprint at Ashburton last week. B. Shaw. 10 4000 GONE ASTRAY (1) 8-0 6m Wandering Willie—Otaio Lass). Vast improvement on last-start failure at Oamaru would be necessary. P. Silver. 11 8626 JOYALICE (17) 8-0 (4m Pakistan ll—Ups And Downs). Making fresh start. Placed over 6f at Kurow at New Year. 12 1313 KINDLE (16) 8-0 (5m Bellborougl\—The Lum). Looked very promising when third after damaging a leg th hack 7f race on Wellington Cup day. Making fresh start. 13 9QOO KIOWA (11) 8-0 (6g Pic-* tavia—Melinda Jane). Form weak. 14 000 KOWHAI PRINCESS (15) 8-0 (5m Prince Mahal—GayDefender). Well beaten at Ashburton last week. K. Aitken. 15 MISS SLICK (13) 8-0 (6m Foxshar—Bustler). Has been away from racing since last winter. Others with stronger chances. J. Pankhurst. 16 6463 RED SCARF (8) 8-0 (4m Bellborough — Red Boa). Last-start third to Shipboard and Royal Mount at Waimate. That form makes her a light-weight chance at this distance. G. Heaton. Bracket: Burnfoot and Smiley.
