Admiral Soanai in form at right time
Special correspondent Auckland The manner in which Admiral Soanai won on the first night of the Rowe Cup meeting augers well for his engagement in the first leg of the TAB double at the Auckland Trotting Club’s meeting at Alexandra Park tonight. The veteran nine-year-old led al! the way for a comfortable win over Jenner and Landora’s Pride in the Meadowset Graphics Mobile Trot last Saturday night. At last year’s Rowe Cup meeting Admiral Soanai finished second to Tussle on the first night; won the corresponding Impact Windows Handicap Trot easily by one and-a-half lengths, from Melvander and True Roman, and failed in Mairo Sultan’s Rowe Cup finishing last. Trained by Jim McGill at Ohaupo, Admiral Soanai has had his fair share of Jetbet: 3 Race 1 TF 6.10 BRITOMART TAVERN PACE $5000; CO; mobile; 2200 m 1 8043 Vonstead 1 P.

I problems this season but he has gained i winning form at an opportune time. > The Templeton trainer, Jack Carmit chael, has a strong representation in the ! race with form runners Yankee Loch t and Jenner entered. Jenner won the Firestone Eurosteels New Zealand Trotting Championship at Addington on April 18 and came home solidly for second to Admiral Soanai last Saturday. Yankee Loch, like Jenner, formerly trained in the north, finished third to Jenner and Tussle in the same race at Addington and looks a trotter of considerable promise. Time Lag, an impressive winner of a penalty-free race at Cambridge on May 1, looks well placed to win the Lion Tavern Glenfield Mobile Pace, the , second leg of the T.A.B. double.
