BEST BETS
FRIDAY NORTHLAND RESPECT (Race 7) b g, 4 yrs, by Mark Lobell—Pautova's Joy; trained at Henderson by F. Cooney. From the ace, this smart gelding should take much beating. He has compiled a tidy record to date in four starts, the latest being a good fifth in a flying mile on Tuesday, when he came home as well as anything after being awkwardly placed for most of the way. SATURDAY ASHBURTON WORLD OF FAME (Race 10) br h, 4 yrs, by World Skipper—Great Circle; trained at Yaldhurst by V. L. Davies. Won in style over 3200 m at Addington last Saturday, only to be disqualified for causing interference. A handicap of 10m should not be enough to stop him winning, even though the distance is 800 m shorter. INVERCARGILL SPRINGFIELD COUNTESS (Race 6) b m, 4 yrs, by Alba Counsel—Zadlos; trained at Winton by G. A. Gibson-Smith. Confirmed she was ready for this with a fine third to Malaz and Scurry at Gore on Monday. Talented mare which is good enough to overcome the backmark in this.
NAPIER PARK PELL MELL (Race 7) br m, 4 yrs, by Sound Reason— Mell; trained at Awapuni by M. K. Smith. Class mare with sound form. Fresh to this meeting and should take beating. WELLINGTON PENDAH LADY (Race 3) b f, 3 yrs, by Mark Lobell— Pendah Bay; trained at Burnham by K. Whall. Brought his trainer an overdue change of luck with a decisive win on the first night. Should be too good again. WESTPORT SMOOTH SHIELA (Race 3) gr f, 3 yrs, by Taxco 11— Bunny Hug; trained at Kaiapoi by D. Thompson. Capped off a useful string of minor placings with an impressive all the way win at Kumara last month. Well poised to repeat. AUCKLAND BONECRUSHER (Race 7) ch c, 3 yrs, by Pag AsaImitation; trained at Ellerslie by F. T. Ritchie. Brilliant three-year-old which could not have been more impressive than he was in winning in national record time over 2000 m at Te Rapa last time out. Looks the one.
