Master Morgan one of the hardest to beat
Special correspondent Auckland
If his showing behind Boom Vang and Rina at Pukekohe last Saturday was anything to go by Master Morgan will be one of the hardest to beat in the Cambridge Cup today. Master Morgan led the chase after the pacemaker in Pukekohe’s South Auckland Handicap, a 2200 m event, and stayed on for a close third. From his weight in that one he is down half a kilogram at Te Rapa today. What is more he has less to travel, by 100 m. It is in Master Morgan’s favour too that he has raced well at Te Rapa, preferring the left-handed way around. He was a failure last time on the course, certainly, but that was over 2400 m in the Waikato Cup. The prospects besides Master Morgan include Magistrate, Punchinello and Tamboura. Except for his lapse behind Boom Vang and company last Saturday Punchinello has been racing solidly. And there might have been a good excuse for his showing at Pukekohe because he suffered a couple of cuts during the race. Magistrate was having only his third race after a long spell when he competed last time, in the Great Brit-ain-New Zealand Stakes at Ellerslie on November 25. In the circumstances his eighth placing held fair promise. Jackwill, judged by the hard race she gave Varnamo at her last start, also at Te Rapa, makes most appeal in the second leg of the T.A.B. double, the Dulcie Stakes. A six-year-old mare, Jackwill came up with several impressive runs last season. One in which she showed plenty of quality was at Te Rapa, to win a class one 1600 m event in May from a big field. Evidently she likes the course. Other chances are Artemis, the Hawera mare, Chateau Bleau, and Gentle Sovereign.
