Secret Knight to win tomorrow?
By
JEFF SCOTT
Secret Knight, which has finished fifth or closer in six of his seven starts this season, may gain a deserved •/ win when he contests the Dellaca’s Fashion Pace on the opening night of the Greymouth Trotting Club’s meeting tomorrow evening. The handsome entire looked most promising at the outset of his career as a three-year-old, before injury curtailed his career for two years. Now six, the son of Timely Knight is at the seasoned stage where a win appears imminent. Gay World has solid form and should be suited by the
Victoria Park circuit. She is the form horse of the field and should go well again in tomorrow night’s first leg of the T.A.B. double and second leg of the T.A.B. treble.
Zansark raced well on the Nelson-Blenheim circuit but failed at Addington on February 18. The Southbridgetrained four-year-old has a second line draw to overcome but is still capable of getting into the finish. Rosewood Birch, a good fourth at Hutt Park on Tuesday after being parked in the open for much of the running, has prospects, while Miss Bromac is useful in the grade and capable of
upsetting. Ryal Robyn, a winner two starts back at Addington, which finished on for fifth in a fast-run mobile 2000 m at Washdyke last Saturday, could follow up that form with a win in the second leg of the T.A.B. double, the Greymouth Timber Co., Ltd, Handicap. Never Ending, second to Baron Module at Washdyke last Saturday, the consistent Jovial Jan, King Turk, Tennessee Waltz and Hare Ura are other form runners, while Rosewood Lady looked close to a win before her last-start failure at Addington, and appeals most of the others.
