Wet track no worry to Air
Special correspondent Wellington .The ability that Ali showed in the rain-affected ground at Tauherenikau last week, could stand ,to him when he tackles the Pahiatua. Cup, first leg of the Pahiatua double at Woodville today. .’-/Ali' was' second .to Tono Bungay- in ihei Wairarapa Cup' ilast week and but for running .'in TOWArd the. -end of the race,' might .well-have picked :up ..first prize. -The time before he rah third at Awapuni and he seems to. be coming to form at the right time. •— ~ ' y He will be ridden by Greg Childs, who is having a useful V run over the holiday period. ’ The prospect of a wet track will not bother the very capable mare 'Ariana. She only just failed to win at Awapuni on Boxing Day and her form is rapidly approaching its best. Northfleet was badly beaten by the ground at Tauherenikau. He is a most capable galloper, but still needs good footing to show .his best." ' ! Cubacade has had two races since returning from Australia. He was sixth and fifth in his two outings at Awapuni, and despite the rain about, he will be a big chance. One of his big wins, the Chalmers at Trentham, was on an easy track. The high-class mare, Sylvaner, looks like being the hardest to beat in the Hatuma Handicap, second leg. .
