Tamworth picked at Taranaki
Special correspondent New Plymouth Tamworth should provide punters with some. Christmas cheer by winning the New Zealand Liquorland Handicap at the Taranaki Jockey Club’s meeting at New Plymouth today. The Ha were five-year-old gelding has been racing in strong company in recent weeks and will appreciate the drop in class. Tamworth is being prepared for the Wellington Cup and to gain a start in
that event he will need to win today’s event Oakvue has made his way through the grades rapidly this season and should give a further good account of himself.
Selanii failed at Trantham last time out but her previous form was solid.
She will not mind the sting out of the track. Blackie’s Mate would come right into it in the event of a lot of rain, while Ballane is in the middle of a. good patch of form. The second leg of the T.A.B. double, the Fanners Co-op Handicap, has only a small field but it lacks nothing in quality. Triscadec is the in-form sprinter in the field and she will be hard to bowl Ikon, Black Carbon and Fras Son are other top fancies.
