Bi Noble tipped to win again
Special correspondent Invercargill Bi Noble is a worthy topweight for the Freight Haulage Wairio Centennial Cup at Ascot Park today.
The Noble Bijou five-year-old confirmed he had trained on pleasingly since the New Zealand Cup meeting when he gained a stylish success in the Tapanui Cup 10 days ago. Bacton Abbey, Ron McCann’s mount, regained his grand three-year-old form with a last start success at the Greymouth fixture. Hopefully, he will confirm that showing at short notice and consoli-
date his ranking as one of the South Island’s more exciting young gallopers. Beau Bandy showed some resistance when challenged by Bi Noble in the Tapanui Cup, suggesting he was returning to the form which won him the 1984 Riverton Cup. It was certainly encouraging evidence of his latest progress. Beks, the winner of the Otaio Plate at Riccarton last month, is more sea-
soned than most and liberally endowed with stamina.
Knight Invader, a winner over 1200 m at the Southland meeting, was a creditable last-start third over the same distance at Riccarton 10 days ago and makes strong appeal over 1400 m in the second leg, the DB Draught Handicap. Pokare, Connie Lawn and Reutermann are others worthy of consideration.
