Northern jockey engaged for Anticipate at Riccarton

By

J. J. BOYLE

The North Island jockey. Phillip Smith, has been engaged to ride Anticipate in the Bryndwr Handicap, second leg of the Canterbury Jockey Club’s T.A.B. double tomorrow. Anticipate is one of the top fancies for the 1600 m race. He has won twice from John Bourne's Riccarton stable on his home course this season. At his last start he was successful over 1800 m at the New Zealand Cup meeting. Auditory, a stablemate of Joyarty, is an unlikely runner in the D.B. Galaxy Stakes, first leg of tomorrow's T.A.B. double, and an alternative ride for Jim

Collett seems unlikely. Fleet Princess was scratched yesterday from the Kaituna Maiden, first leg of the T.A.B. treble. Just From Santa,- Silver Shar, and Buster McCoy were taken out of the field for the Amuri Handicap, second leg of the T.A.B. treble. Silver Shar was a double acceptor, and will run in the Leeston Handicap.

2 1128 John Peel 6 58.5 Back to middle distance after unplaced run in New Zealand Cup. Latest win at 2000 m. was in North Canterbury Cup on Labour Day. This harder. D. Frye. 3 2490 Just A Rebel 1 58.5 Found 2500 m of CJC Benson and Hedges beyond him. but has toiled rewardingly at 2000 m. G. Blair. 4 2163' Macho Man 12 58.5 Newcomer to this company. Latest placing was in Otaio Plate at Riccarton. D. Crozier. 5 0367 Alvaro King 10 57.0 Failed this distance at Greymouth. Win here would be whopping surprise. A. Poblete. 6 0079 Another Story 8 56.0 Battling to regain good form of earlier seasons, but could be improved by runs on West Coast. R. McCann. 7 5716 Auditory 14 56.0 Fair run on soft track at Invercargill on Monday. 8 0920 Black Gull 5 56.0 Second two starts back was close behind Anticipate 1800 m. Riccarton. This harder. J. Hawes. 9 2430 Double Jay 4 56.0 Expensive failure at Greymouth last start. Doubtful if she will do any better at weight-for-age. J. Moffat. 10 9342 Joyarty 3 56.0 Had interrupted run when second to The Wink at Beaumont. Fast finisher for 4th in weight-for-age Canterbury Cup at Riccarton last month. J. Pankhurst. 11 1 The Dimple 13 56.0 Opened five-year-old record impressively with win over 1200 m at Wyndham. Oct. 30. Has more class than most in this field. A. Robinson. 12 1881 Sea Princess 7 54.5

Won at weight-for-age over short trip and in weaker company at Hokitika. Runner-up in Warstep Stakes at this distance last season. B. Smith. 13 0291 Worldly Mist 2 54.5 Won Greymouth Cup this distance last week. Not the worst. T.

Bruce. 2 Miles Better 5 56.5 First start since his winter campaign in Queensland. and might be better suited by middle distance handicaps later in summer. J. Moffat. 3 2009 Firefly 4 55.0 First start since unplaced run in N.Z. Cup. Much will depend on how well she has freshened. A. Robinson. 4 5705 Timax 14 54.5 Fair run for fifth this distance at Riccarton last month. Worth second thought. D. Frye. 5 0051 Anticipate 17 53.5 Narrow but meritorious winner 1800 m at N.Z. Cup meeting. One of top chances on that run. P. Smith. 6 14 Gaelic Bid 6 53.5 Brilliant finisher to win this distance at N.Z. Cup

meeting. Another sound run when fourth same distance and course week later. Hard to beat on that form. T. Matthews. 7 0230 Darnley Flight 7 53.0 Showed nothing in only start at N.Z. Cup meeting. Placed run the time before was over 1400 m at Banks Peninsula. J. Collett. 8 6640 Third Degree 12 52.0 Might lack the sharpness for this distance. Failed in N.Z. Cup last time out. G.

McAra. 14 0630 Country Scene 13 49.5 Struggled in weaker company on West Coast. B. Smith. 15 0848 Dellana 18 49.5 Likely to be out of his depth here. K. Burnett. ■ 17 1712 Silver Print 8 49.5 Promising young middle distance prospect coming through the grades. Could be right in it. S. Anderton. Scratched: Aguirre. Nottingham Belle, Kelly Robe
