Daybreak has good form

Special correspondent Wellington In a field that is far from strong, Daybreak could get some reward when she tackles the Mauriceville Handicap, the first leg of the T.A.B. double at Masterton this afternoon. A six-year-old Bally Royal mare. Daybreak comes to Otaki with solid form. She last raced at Awapuni on November 1 and finished third to Shoshana and Poise over 1400m.' The time before at Trentham she beat all but Antionette in the Awatea Handicap at Trentham. Double Trouble may prove to be the toughest opponent. He won the Wellington’ Hanidcap at Trentham, but then failed when he tackled the Benson and Hedges Cup at Riccarton. Those two runs were over ground, so under the circumstances Double Trouble did well on Riccarton’s final day when fourth in the 1600 m Churchill Stakes. That run looks the best guide to his chances today.' San Juan is a pretty capable galloper when right. He resumed with a good sprint second at Waip'ukurau. Form in the second leg!

I Topaz Handicap is far from [strong and Sucarda could be I the top chance in the small I field. She has only won I twice, at Otaki and Waipujkurau last time. 1 Big Dan did well to finish second to Settle Down at Hastings last time while Paiola Filante is a useful mare and one which could play a leading role in the finish of this.
