Judge Obadiah Vincent fancy

Special correspondent Dunedin Judge Obadiah, which has returned to his best form,, should be a formidable tender, for the Central Ota' 0 Handicap, the first leg of the TAB double on the second day of the Vincent Jockey Club’s meeting today. Judge Obtdiah, which has been entered for the Wellington Cup vas successful on the first day of the Southland Nev’ Year meeting. Two days later he finished second, beaten half a length by In Hight in the Invercargill Cup.

The seven-y«ar-old worked between races on the first between races on the first day of the meeting and led his stablemate, Belsen’s Bank at the finish. Belsen’s Bank, which ran him to half a head at the Southland meeting is in the fiel-1 today on I.skg better terms. Belsen’s Bank was never in the hunt in the Invercargill Cup. He usually comes from the back and is set a daunting task in a 16 horse field from a wide draw. Miles Better, a Wellington Cup hopeful, should have a big say in the finish. He, too, comes from the back. He did well to finish fifth in the. Invercargill Cup after coming from the rear of a 16-horse field at the 800 m. He had 11 rivals when he won the Waikouaiti Cup on New Year’s day. Oregull is a fresh runner at the meeting with prospects in the second leg of the double, the Steward’s Handicap. She runs in front and was fourth over the distance at Invercargill a week ago- ~ A rise of I.skg should not prevent the first day winner Ohcee making a bold bid. He has a good record on the course.
