Pokare ‘anchor’ for treble
The Great Western Champagne Stakes winner, Pokare, will be an anchor for on-course treble punters when he contests the Pyne Gould Guinness Handicap for juveniles at the Amberley Racing Club’s meeting at Rangiora today. The Riccarton-trained son of Claudio Nicolai upset the northerner, Pounding, and the highly rated, Black Arrow, at Riccarton on the last day of the Easter meeting and would only need to reproduce that effort to win this, in spite of giving 5% kilos and, in some cases, more to his rivals. The other legs of the oncourse treble are two open
maiden races, in which there is plenty of scope for an upset. Meldora, a daughter of Thoreau in Garth Jackson's team, will have the services of Grant Davison in the first leg, the Coachman Gin Maiden, and will have admirers. Sandcrabs Disco, an improvers fifth on the course last month, Extra Quick, the Rangiora-trained Bananarama. and Rock and Pillar, a three-year-old Rocky Mountain gelding from a sister to the former top galloper, Mr Ay Bee, are others worthy of consideration.
