Regal Guy top prospect
Special correspondent; WellingtonRegal Guy’s reliability, from a standing start should make him a leading chance for the major honours in the $lO,OOO Cardigan Bay Stakes, first leg of the double at Hutt Park this evening.
On the 'first, night, last Wednesday, Regal Guy beat a. field of the. same calibre over 2000 metres and set a track record.-jn the process. Last Saturday,-after beginning well, he was taken on in the lead’ throughout but still finished a respectable fifth.
Remarkable, which would have finished a lot closer than sixth but for breaking at the start last Saturday,
wilt only have to begin correctly to prove the hardest for Regal Guy to beat. - Hurricane Shannon' scored in brilliant fashion on Saturday and even a second row draw should not stop him finishing close tonight. Game Adios, Treasurer, Stopwatch and the newcomer, Dictatorship, . are others to be Coo’s Boy could come through the meeting unbeaten when he lines up in the
Randwick Handicap, second leg of the double. Coo’s Boy could not have been more impressive than when winning on Saturday and while he is 10 metres worse off he looks the one to beat again. Seafield Rose, Karleda Maid, Reuben James and Sidi Rezegh, the minor place-getters behind Coo’s Boy on the second night; should again provide him with his sternest opposition.
