Favourable barrier draws for form runners

BY

G. K. YULE

Favourable barrier draws should contribute greatly to the chances of Lord Louie in the Sires’ Produce Stakes Final and Our Mana in the Wee Win Free-for-all at the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club’s meeting at Addington Raceway tomorrowing evening.

It was only a fortnight ago that Lord Louie made an impressive race debut at Methven. Then, last Saturday, he failed by only a neck to catch Logan Dryham in the fastest of the three heats. There was much to enthuse over about the placing of Lord Louie as he was slow away and then met a check at a vital stage inside the final 800 m. He came on at a great rate and failed by only a neck. He is obviously one of the most promising young pacers in Canterbury and, from No. 3 at the barrier, he should be more than a match for most in this field.

Logan Dryham was slow away before he won his heat, but he recovered quickly and led for the last 1500 m. Like Lord Louie, he looks to have great potential as a stayer. Unfortunately he has to overcome the disadvantage of a second-line draw, but this could be well within the capabilities of the son of Dryham Lea. Kotare Tyrone made the pace and was caught by Comedy Lad in a record-run Welcome Stakes on April 2 when having his first race start. He won his heat quite convincingly last Saturday, but his time for the 2000 m was more than three seconds slower than that of Logan Dryham. For all that Kotare Tyrone has great ability and it will be surprising if he fails to take a prominent part in the finish. Natural Guy, Roydon Glen, Tough Nut, King Alba and Keystone Adios appeal’ most of the others.

Our Mana, fresh from a win over 3200 m at Methven on April 19, should win the Wee Win Free-for-all. He has drawn the favoured No. 1 barrier position and will no doubt try for an end-to-end victory. Kind Nature, Glen Lustre, Hobart Star, and Agrinion have been racing to good purpose lately and they could run Our Mana fairly close. Diamond Moose would have been high on the list of possibilities, but he will start from wide out, placing him at a big disadvantage. He is a proven top miler having finished fourth in the Pan Am Mile' back in February, shading Our Mana. Race 1 5.35

Race 7 8.45 T.A.B. DOUBLE T.A.B. TREBLE T.A.B. QUINELLA SIRES’ PRODUCE STAKES FINAL ?16,500; two-year-olds; 2000 m 1 21 Kotare Tyrone 1 It Fought on gamely for quite decisive win in heat.

Better drawn this time and

sure to be prominent. R. Dunn. 2 1519 Tough Nut 2 It Most disappointing when he dropped away from the straight entrance on first night. Big improvement needed. C. de Filippi. 3 12 Lord Louie 3 It Overcame a slow start and a check later to run Logan Dryham to a neck in fastest heat. Looks the one to beat. I. Cameron. 4 1384 Natural Guy 4 It Just a fair run when fourth to Kotare Tyrone last Saturday. Better drawn and should show up. J. Smolensk!. 6 118 King Alba 6 It Made no impression on first night. Obviously better than that and must be given another chance. H. Skinner. 7 0001 Kotare Idyll 7 It Won fillies’ heat last Saturday after receiving perfect run. This will be much harder. M. Rennie. 8 6750 Roydon Glen 8 It Broke hopelessly when shorteners would not release last week. Speedy and by no means out of this. F. Fletcher. 9 304 Keystone Adioa 9 It Slow away and showed talent to finish fourth behind Logan Dryham. Fine type and could be one for odds. G. Laing. 10 702 Earl Don 10 It Fought on solidly for second to Kotare Tyrone last Saturday. Must be a place chance once more. B. Gliddon. 11 7683 Reiver 11 It Battled away from handy position for third to Logan Dryham. Never far away, but might find this strong. R. Brosnan. 13 243 Seduction 13 It Battled away for third behind Kotare idyll. Rough chance at best. R. May. 14 191 Logan Dryham 14 It Led last 1500 m and held on for fine win in fast time last Saturday. Should go close again in spite of draw. B. Clark. 15 0895 Sure He Can 15 It Made ground for fifth to Logan Dryham last week. Bad draw again. R. Langford. 16 7567 Spring Frolic 16 It

Dropped away to sixth behind Logah Dryham on first night. Would need luck from this draw. F. Gough. Scratched: Natural Nat, Hardloch.

Race 9 9.45 T.A.B. DOUBLE T.A.B. QUINELLA WEE WIN FREE-FOR-ALL $6500; C 7 to C 9; mobile; one mile 1 1531 Our Mana 1 It Won at Methven on April 23 last time out. From this draw looks the winner. C. de Filippi. 2 7142 Kind Nature 2 It Looked unlucky when second to Trilobal in Brighton Cup on April 23. Capable of a sharp mile. J. Hampton. 3 4055 False Regal 3 It Latest racing was at Alexandra Park when he went only fairly. Little appeal. R. Cameron. 4 4321 Glen Lustre 4 It Decisive winner at Addington last Saturday. By no means out of this. R. Nyhan. 5 7542 Hobart Star 5 It Late bid for second to Our Mana at Methven. In form and sure to be close up in spite of draw. S. Miller. 6 1148 Diamond Moose 6 It Failed at Addington on April 2 at latest start. Speedy and even from this draw could be in the finish. M. Butt. 8 4135 Stampede 8 It Unlucky when fifth in Brighton Cup. Racing generously and should not be far away. P. Hampton. 9 2111 Agrinion 9 It Won Rangiora Cup in impressive style at latest start. This will be harder, but will still take beating. R. Butt. 10 3319 AnsaSt 10 It Failed in Cheviot Cup in March, but has gone well since at trials. Not a forlorn chance. K. Vincent. 11 0051 Trilobal 11 It Won Brighton Cup on April 23. Appeals more as a stayer, ana will need luck from this draw. F. Newfield. 12 2054 Dryden Amanda 12 It Fair run when fourth to Our Mana at Methven. Capable, but others preferred. R. Geddes. 13 0703 Amaze 13 It Third in Brighton Cup last time out. Capable of a merry mile. 14 6704 Enterprise 14 It Latest run was on March 26 in Consolation Race when he finished fourth. Good enough to be placed. Emergencies: False Regal, Amaze, Enterprise. Scratched: Tarlad. Race 10 10.15 T.A.B. TREBLE
