Fuego in good form for Matamata task

Special correspondent Auckland The Woodville trainer, Jeff Lynds, has Fuego in such good form that the four-year-old looks capable of beating the northern gallopers in the first leg of the T.A.B. double at the Matamata Racing Club’s meeting today. Fuego has the top weight of 57kg in the Blandford Lodge Handicap, but that should not trouble him. He has won his latest two outings with 55.25 kg and 55.5 kg. Fuego has had four starts this season for three wins and a second. That second placing was over 1400 m at Awapuni on March 16 and since then he was won a 1400 m race at Trentham on April 6 and a 1600 m race at Trentham on May 4. The distance of the Blandford Lodge Handicap is 1600 m.

Lynds has experienced good fortune on previous trips to Matamata. On one occasion he won the Matamata Breeders’ Stakes with Vin d’Amour anad on another he scored with Compromise. Troubled Water and Santanea are local runners with plenty of ability. They look the main threats to Fuego today. Derriana, a winner at Te Rapa last Saturday, must also be considered, as must Totus, which ran second to Derriana at Te Rapa. Arensky scored in good style at Ellerslie recently and he appears the main chance in the second leg, the Holdaway Motors Handicap. Regal Beach is an improver in the race, while Wren’s Trophy, Modinka and Dixie Zephyr have good recent form.
