Marebello picked at Wanganui

(•‘The Press” Special Service) WELLINGTON. Marebello, which won the iLonglands Handicap at Hastings ion Saturday, might make It two lon end when he contests the I Simmons Handicap, first leg of I the T.A.B. double at Wanganui today. j He has been rehandicapped 2kg but this should not stop him. I St Benedict, the winner of this ■ event a year ago, has been ! knocking on the door for some time and would not cause a surprise if be raised the winning .! flag this time.

Amorae was a disappointing fourth behind Bugle Call kt

Egmont after running a promising second to Charger at Manawatu. The mare is likely to find today’s field much more to her liking. Idunno caught the eye when fighting on from the back foi fourth behind Willem Barends? at Egmont and looks the best bet in the second leg, the Waverley Handicap. Kythera. which dead-heated with Fair Warning for a classthree event at Wanganui early last month, will be a danger. Fair Warning went on to win ah open-class race at Hawke’s Bay so the form is worth something. Whitlock looked a likely improver a couple of starts back when returning close fourths at both Masterton and Wanganui, but he has let the form down since.
