BEST BETS
FRIDAY Wellington FULLA FUN (Race 8) b m, 4 yrs by Golden F ulla — Mary March; trained at Templeton by J. A. Carmichael. Bolted in by seven lengths on Wednesday. In spite of a second-line draw, she should cope with the rise in class. SATURDAY Beaumont FRONTAL ATTACK (Race 8) b g, 4 yrs, by Frontal — Homing Gull; trained at Winton by N. F. Ridley. Model of consistency in his racing to date. Resumed with a solid first-up second at Invercargill on November 23. Methven UNCLE JASPER (Race 1) b c, 3 yrs, by Boyden Hanover — Belle Chase; trained at Yaldhurst by P. Blackmore. Has raced well against the best three-year-old pacers in the country and should be a class above this field of Cl pacers. Te Aroha SOLVEIG (Race 5) br m, 4 yrs, by Imposing — Soliloquy, trained at Takanini by C. G. Curnow and T. J. McKee. Class mare nicely drawn to add to her already impressive record. Thames RAYBURN ROYAL (Race 9) blk g, 7 yrs, by World Skipper — Flying Jill; trained at Te Rapa by E. Wallis. Versatile type with very sound record. Did not have the best of luck in running last time out, should make amends over tomorrow night’s sprint distance. Wairio OLLIE’S CHANCE (Race 9) ch f, 3 yrs, by Colonel Kenton — Take a Chance; trained at Dunback by T. Tisdall. Talented filly which, being a class 3 performer, should be far too strong for her rivals, all of which are yet to win a race. Wellington GALLIPOLI (Race 9) b c, 3 yrs, by Palatable — Quake; trained at Foxton by P. M. Busuttin. Followed hat-trick of wins with useful sixth in Bayer Classic at Levin last week. This is a much easier assignment.
