Lord Module’s task looks easy

By G. K. YULE f I) | Last Friday night Lord; ; Module made short work of! [his rivals at the end of a| : solidly run 2600 m in the) I Trans Tours Stakes at Ad-. |dington Raceway. Tomorrow; I he will meet five of those to! I finish behind him at Adding-i ( Iron in the Turner’s Handicap:, [at Forbury Park and he: : should be untroubled to win again. This race, and the other: two he will contest on sub-: sequent nights of the meet-! ling, will be penalty-free as; far as Lord Module, an open-class pacer, is con-i cerned. As at. Addington he will! [start from 30m, a mark I [which is unlikqly to be pro-i hibitive to a pacer of his un- ’ [doubted talents. In fact, this , iis unlikely to be as testing[| [as, last week’s race when! Tribunal applied tremendous! [pressure from the start and; Lord Module had to pace his! 1 last 2000 m at little worse: [than 2min speed. I Locarno and Waralenei [should provide most opposi-i tion to Cecil Devine's fine [four-year-old. I Sapling, the backmarkerj ion 15m, is expected to make, ';a successful fresh start ini rhe second leg, the Moyle’s Handicap. The five-year-oldi [had a run recently at trials [and shaped attractively, [showing that he was close Ito his peak once more. ! Palestine and Mack Doug-j ,al are expected to offer I most opposition to Sapling, : I while there will be support; I,for Tom Pepper, Jacoe; Bel-: mer’s Image and Nimble! ': Yankee. | RACE 4 I WWIIIM- [ T.A.B. TREBLE T.A.B. QUINELLA 7.35 p.m.— SIGNPRINT PACE $220(1; C 3; mobile; 2700 m.
