Metropolitan, form for today
NZPA Sydney Gurner's Lane is poised to give, his New Zealand based sire Sir Tristram a magnificent week-end double by winning the $120,000 Metropolitan Handicap (2600 m at Randwick today. Sir Tristram's son Dalmatia easily won the $120,000 Epsom Handicap (1600 m at Randwick on Saturday and the Victorian-trained Gurner's Lane (9 to 2 favourite) appears "Trained to the minute" as well to score his most important success. The Geoff Murphy-pre-pared Gurner’s Lane returned to his best form to win the $70,000 Winfield Gold Cup (2300 m at Newcastle on September 15. Shamrock (8 to 1) and Clive Comet (15 to 1) are the two New Zealand-owned and trained gallopers in the Metropolitan and they cannot be left out of calculations. Shamrock, which will be ridden by the New Zealand jockey. Noel Harris, and is trained by Bruce Marsh, only arrived in Sydney on Thursday. MFiM rAH*!* allb 1 Race 1 5.15 (N.Z. time) T.A.B.
