Nandina Leader impressive
PA Auckland! Nandina Leader returned) a first-class performance to win the Logan Park Mobile! Pace, the first leg of the T.A.B. double on the opening night of the Auckland! Trotting Club’s July meeting at Alexandra Park on Saturday night. From a position near the rear he made a sweeping run round the field about 800 m from home and reached the front on the home turn. He continued strongly to!
score by two lengths from Regal Master, with Power Deal finishing well from the back for third, two lengths! away. i The favourite, Robert! Lopez, made most of the! pace but once headed by Nandina Leader he stopped badly and beat only two ol his 13 rivals home. The smart three-year-old, Gold Rand, gave his opponents, all of the same age but not as well performed, a pacing lesson in the second ieg. the Ranui Stakes. He scored by six lengths from Sly Chance, which was always handy. Top Star was a similar margin away third after making the pace.
