Springfield Countess appeals at Invercargill

Special correspondent Invercargill Springfield Countess should prove more than a match for her rivals in the Cedar Motor Court Mobile Pace, first leg of the Invercargill Trotting Club’s T.A.B. double tomorrow. The talented Alba Counsel mare, which was unbeaten in two starts on the course at the Christmas meeting, has the conditions (free-for-all) in her favour, as she is the only C 5 runner in the field for C3-C5 pacers. Furthermore, she is favourably drawn at three and would be capable of leading all the way. She ran on pleasingly for fourth at her last outing at Addington. Trish Mist, which broke in the run home when. looking for racing room at her last start at Addington, has established herself as an excitingprospect on the southern scene, winning three successive races. She should be the one to put Springfield Countess to the test.

Willie Duggan, one of the most improved pacers on the southern circuit, won the Winton Cup late last month in dashing style. The ease of that success suggested he could win again at short notice.

Bamboroughs Pride, winner of the Gore Cup, and Queen’s Advocate, more consistent than most, are others which must be conceded chances. Julie Maree, Ali Malcolmson’s ultra-consistent mare,

deserves another success in the Wairio Mobile Pace, the second leg of the T.A.B. double. Ever Sharp, Fern Grove and Luckyship are others worthy of respect in a wide open race.
