Fields, form and riders

RACE 6 T.A.B. DOUBLE T.A.B. QUINELLA 2.10 p.m.— AMBERLEY CENTENNIAL CUP $7500; 2000 m. 1 Sl6l Aramis (9) 57 (5 g Aze-mann-Sharab, P. H. Jones, Riccarton); Smart front-run-ner which has won two of his last three, the most recent being the Marlborough Cup last Saturday week. Should be hard to beat again if allowed his own rules P. Smith 2 3732 Scotch Mist (10) 56 (4 g Balios-Highgiow, R. T. and Mrs B. Harris, Tuahiwi); Consistent performer for minor placings among sprinters on recent campaign at Blenheim and Westport. Hardy type but unknown quantity at this distance. J. Collett 3 0368 Firpo (14) 55.5 (7 g Pep-Cheri-Suisse, T. W. Lalor, Riccarton); Very useful stayer at peak but has been off the sceme since January. Might be all the better for this one although he does not usually need much racing to bring him right. M. Mein. 4 2583 Ay Em (3) 54 (5 g Matins-Silver Flash, J. E. Bourne. Riccarton); One of the season’s most consistent performers Must be considered after his last start third behind Zazanne and Four Crowns in Great Autumn Handicap. G. Blair. 5 2468 Spy Force (5) 54 (6 g King’s Troop 11-Smuggler’s Bank, G. H. Murfitt, Riccarton); Noted more for his ability over shorter journeys than this but usually running on at the finish and might get 2000 m on this turning course. R. McCann 6 1434 Good Way (12) 53.5 (5 g Eastern Nip-Good Halyard, J. F. Parsons, Amberley); Won Highweight and fourth in Great Autumn at C.J.C. Easter meeting but could not improve on minor placings in two starts at Westport. Seems best suited by the roomier tracks. T. Cowan 7 6270 Star Order (8) 53.5 (7 g Final Orders-Tyrone, E. G Low, Riccarton); Minor placings have been his lot since winning the 1979 N.Z. Cup. Latest placing was behind Et Tu on this course three starts back. E. Low 8 0605 Sweeney Todd (15) 53.5 (6 g Country Dance-Queen-scliff. R. Balfour, Waimate); Runs a middle-distance well at his best but would have to be taken on trust from so wide in this, his first race since December. 9 4190 Firefly (1) 52.5 (4 m Fra-xinus-Most, D. J. and L. J. Thistoll, Riccarton); Showed much promise in the lower grades but inclined to get back early and inside draw on this course might be more a hindrance than help. A. Robinson. 10 1621 John Peel (2) 51.5 13 c Sovereign Edition-Cumin. J. Lalor, Ashburton); High-class colt which left no doubts about his ability over a bit of ground when successful last time out in Autumn Plate (2500 m at Riccarton on Anzac Day. Should measure up in this tougher class. 11 0442 Peligro (11) 51.5 (5 g Keekerok-Chuckles, W. J. Kennedy, Ikamstua); Switched to middle-distance racing with encouraging results at Blenheim and Westport. Must rate chance here after second to Double You Em in the mud at Westport last Monday. 12 0112 Piparyl (7) 51.5 (7 g Sucaryl-Miss Pipchin, Mrs J. Bowbyes, Wingatui); Frontrunner which has been racing particularly well in wellsnaced programme. Not one to disregard easily on recent efforts. M. Kennedy. 13 2112 Postscript (17) 51.5 (5 g Postillion 11-Royal Order, J. S. arid P. McKav. Wingatui); Distant second behind Fleetwood Mac at Invercargill last Monday week but form beforehand in the lower grades was first-class. Looks one of brighter nrospects among the lightweights. R. McAra 14 7953 Et Tu 18) 50.5 (4 g Balios-Monde. R. T. and Mrs B. Harris, Tuahiwi): Third behind Sir James and Father Lou at Westport on Monday and was a winner on this course last month but not consistent enough all-round to be recommended with confidence. T. Matthews. 15 6879 Hermanlon (16) 50.5 (6 b Hermes-First Up, R. T. and Mrs B.' Harris. TuahtwD; "Would have to improve out of sight on anything he has done lately to be a threat. V. Askew. 16 3575 Lady Link (6) 50.5 (5 m Dn-nley-Ra-on's Pride. A. E. and L. G. Didham, Wingatui): .Won five races in the lower grades last season but bas been battling so far this term to imorove on minor P l acin ! *s. Best recent effort was third behind Waideene'

and Piparyl in Riverton Cup at Easter. 17 0303 Deltana (4) 50 (5 m Della Porta-Slderia, N. Beri, Riccarton); Comes u p with the odd sound run but not often enough to raise- much enthusiasm. 18 8780 Palais Glide (13) 50 (6 g Country Dance-Japita, J. J. Cowan and J. D. Phillips, Riccarton); No sign of form yet this time up. Has done best in the past over the shorter journeys. D. Frye. Emergencies: Palais Glide, Scotch Mist. RACE 7 T.A.B.

Prendergast, Wingatui); High-class performer at best but failed to strike form on short summer campaign. Showed speed for a time when resuming in sprint at Invercargill last Monday. M. Kennedy 2 3732 Scotch Mist (13) 58 (4 g Balios-Highglow, R. T. and Mrs B. Harris, Tuahiwi); Kept on coming up with solid efforts on tough campaign among sprinters at Blenheim and Westport. • Might have to work hard here too to regain winning form from so wide a draw. 3 1212 Scintillate (8) 53 (5m Shifnal-Shimmering, D. J. and L. J. Thistoll, Riccarton); Came through her racing at Riccarton and Blenheim with top marks for consistency, in a tougher class here but likes this distance and should go well. D. Hancock 4 6175 In The Clear (12) 52 (7 h Taipan 11-Angel’s Smile. 1. W. Thomas, Riccarton); Did well to finish fifth after missing start badly in open sprint at Blenheim last Monday week. All-the-way win two starts earlier was over this distance on this course. D. Crozier. 5 Lover Boy (4) 52 (4 h Rich Gift-Hot Lips, R. T. and Mrs B. Harris, Tuahiwi); This will be first race since summer campaign in Australia where he won two 1000 m sprints. Could be forward enough to make a bold showing. G. Blair. 6 4745 Naplat (1) 52 (7 g Taipan 11-Miss Viva, J. Carran, Riverton); Form on the Marlbor-ough-Westport circuit was not good enough to suggest a winning run was close at hand. 7 8895 Jane Again (6) 51.5 <4 m Beaufort Sea-Mary Ellen, J. F. Parsons, Amberley); Resumed at Westport last weekend but failed to show anything like he r best in two starts there. Could be a different proposition on firmer going if those two races have not left their mark. 8 1750 Karozshah (10) 51.5 (5 m Kazakstaan-Blue Camelia, B. R. Mills. Riccarton): Failed at Rangiora and in two starts at C. Easter meeting last month but managed this distance successfully at Wingatui in March. D.
