Purple Frae appeals in staying test today
Special correspondent I Auckland Purple Frae. now four years old. might never make' a name for herself in the best company but she has ai claim to favouritism for the Enderley Handicap at the; Waikato Racing Club’s meet-! ing at Ellerslie today. Certainly, if she shapes up i in her best form, she will' last the course for the first leg of the double better than most of her opponents, I They have 3200 m to go, and a long way further, if the |, pace is on, than the majority of this class four and'! five field will travel in any! = comfort. Purple Frae has a second j placing and a third in her;* last two attempts as as recommendation and, as con-! 5 siderabk? assistance, Rodney'' Heaslip as her rider. !j Her third placing was • behind Gary Bruce and Mar-!' garet Ellen in a class five] 2200 m race at Paeroa on| March 17. The previous time ■ she beat all except Calpur-' nicus in a class four 2200 m! event at Ellerslie on March , 9. The two hardest for! Purple Frae to beat might be Tidy and Young Duke, rid-! den respectively by Bobby Vance and David Peake, the first two on the winning jockeys’ list. The second leg will be the Eureka Handicap. Again, of 1 necessity because the meet- J ing is a restricted-pro- i gramme affair, the runners ’ seem a pretty moderate lot | taken all round but sufficiently even to provide a t good race. Crimara looks the one to 2 beat, with Bah Inn and Chief 2 Amigo among the other prospects.
