Rogerson hopes for repeat double at Nelson

By

J. J. BOYLE

Claremont Wonder and Travolta, winners of ■ the T.A.B. double for Graeme Rogerson's stable on Nelson Cup day last year, will attempt to repeat those successes at Richmond tomorrow. Claremont Wonder is in a field of even quality for the Newmans Travel Nelson Cup, first leg of the Nelson Jockey Club’s T.A.B. double. But the second leg, the Ledger Goodman Memorial, does not offer the same wide range of fancies. The field has been weakened as a result of a fetlock injury received this week by the top weight, Peligro. As winner of two of his last four starts, Peligro appeared to be one of the brighter chances in a small field. u . u ■ in his absence, Travolta might be the favourite, with Latin Desire and Septimus also likely to carry solid North Island backing.

Race 6 2.5 T.A.B. DOUBLE T.A.B. QUINELLA NEWMANS TRAVEL NELSON CUP $6500; 2000 m 1 4113 Lord Of The Dance 13 54.5 Shaped well in lower grades but yet to win against class one horses.

rewarding campaign on South Island courses last autumn. 4 4442 Gaelic Bid 6 51.5 Fair second this distance at Westport last start. Earlier form included wins over 1600 m at metropolitan level. T. Matthews. 5 0450 Sovereign's Will 16 51.5 Won against sprinters here last year. Winner at 2000 m at Orari last spring. G.

Bent. 10 5297 Double March 14 49.0 Did not show enough at Westport to rate much of a chance for this. 11 066 Flag Lieutenant 11 49.0 Winner on this course in lower grade. This harder. 12 0778 Aguirre 2 48.5 Struggling to regain something like his best form. 13 0502 Ashley Court 17 48.5 Placed run in 2200 m Trentham highweight. last time makes him one of lightweight chances for this. 14 7390 Keyman 7 48.5 Out of form. 15 1386 Machiavelli 15. 48.5 Has done his latest racing as sprinter but won up to 1600 m on earlier campaigns.

Could sprint well fresh up. 4 7497 Septimus 3 54.0 Has not won since this meeting a year ago. Veteran, but not the worst. 5 0524 Travolta 1 54.0 Won corresponding race last year. Has had only one win this season but recent placed runs give him something of a chance for this. C. Johnson. 6 4433 Country Scene 6 51.5 Placed this distance at Westport, then third 1600 m highweight at Ashburton on Monday. B. Smith. 7 1104 Teri’s Uss 5 51.5 Last-start fourth was in weaker'field at Westport, K. Burnett. 8 777 Zudini 8 51.5 Did not distinguish herself at Westport. D. Reardon.
