Better effort by Kissenger expected

■ Special correspondent Hastings Hastings stables could play a major part in the finish of the Discovery Handicap at Trentham tomorrow, judging by yesterday’s Hastings track trials.: Hastings has Kissenger and Sky’s the Limit entered for the 2200 m event, the first leg of the T,A;B. double at the Wellington meeting. Kissenger showed he has trained on well since his Waikato Cup run by galloping 1000 m on his own in Imin is. He took a heavy fall on the first day of the Waikato

meeting and it had some effect on the way he raced in the cup. The jockey, Gary Williams, ' said Kissenger would not relax in the cup and was obviously thinking about the fall seven days earlier. “He pulled too hard for his own' good,” said Williams. . Kissenger has looked relaxed back in his home environment this week and could show a marked improvement. Wayne . Jeffcoat has the mount on the big bay- , ’ , Sky’s The Limit also galloped 1000 m yesterday and

showed plenty of dash over the last 800 m in 48s. She looks particularly well but would appreciate some rain to ease the Trentham track. The apprentice, Mark Barnsley, will ride the mare. Double Header was restricted to pacework yesterday morning, running the last 800 m of his work in 57.25, the final 600 in 42.95. He won well at the Hastings trials bn Tuesday.and will probably step out next at Masterton next Tuesday. Latona showed a glimpse of his speed with 800 m in 50.95, the final 600 in 37.75.
