Heavy going no worry for Disraeli

Special correspondent Wellington The very good galloper, Disraeli, held centre stage when final gallops for Trentham’s last day were held at the course yesterday. All work took place on the outside of the trial grass and with heavy rain falling right through the session, the going was heavy. Disraeli, on his work yesterday, will certainly not be troubled by the track conditions. He was ridden yesterday by Jim Cassidy

and the successful Hastings apprentice said after that I the Otaki galloper was right' at home in the conditions. Working with Scotch! Mist, Disraeli ran 1600 m The pair ran the 1400 m in Imin 36.85, the last 800 in! 55.65, and the 600 in 41.75. Over the closing stages, Disraeli pulled away to win the 'gallop by three lengths. Scotch Mist did plenty of work for a two-year-old. He runs in the 1600 m weight-for-age Captain Cook Stakes j and he will be ridden by I Wingatui apprentice, 'Charlie Brough

There was a good trial returned by Fair Wyn. also in the Captain Cook Stakes. The mare was sixth in the Cuddle on Saturday on good footing and she seems sure to be much more at home on the wet ground. Working alone, she ran 800 m in 52.5 s the last 600 in 395, and if the rain keeps up. she must rate some cha'nce tomorrow. Kevin Robinson will ride her. Prince Alvaro, a Trentham ' two-year-old which is in the Oceania Handicap, ended his ' task with 800 m in 53.55, the last 600 in 395.
