BEST BETS

FRIDAY ASHBURTON ROLLICKING DEAN (Raes 5), b c. 3yrs. by Master Dean— Browngate Lady; trained at Roslyn Bush by G. Davidson. Was ar. impressive and fairly convincing winner over a field of three-year-olds at Oamaru on May 11 at his latest start. Should contend with any rise in class there might be in this field. WELLINGTON HOBART HERO (Race 3), b c. 3yrs. by El Patron—Hobart Lass; trained at Kumeu by L. C. Purdon. Comes in extremely well under the conditions of this three and four-year-old series. The series is confined to maidens with CO winners at Hawera still eligible, and with this advantage alone, looks a seeond-to-none prospect. SATURDAY AUCKLAND HEX (Raes 3), b g. 6yrs. by Stipulate—Amazonis; trained at Matamata by S. A. Munro. Has performed creditably in better ’chasing fields than this of late. Solid fourth last time and a winner three starts back, he should prove far too strong. OTAGO CLINT (Raes 1), b g. syrs, by Trelay—Furious; trained at Gore by R. J. Cochrane. Promising young hurdler which should open his account in that role against ordinary opposition tomorrow. WANGANUI LE NOTE (Race 1), ch g, 7yrs, by Princely Note—La Bouquet; trained at Bulls bv R. G. McSeveny and A. K. Reid. Third behind Valdee at Opaki last week. This looks easier.
