Williams hoping for change of luck at Motukarara

By

JEFF SCOTT

Master Mood could give bis Prebbleton part-owner and trainer, Kevin Williams, an additional birthday gift by heading home the field in the D. B. Draught Handicap at the Banks Peninsula Trotting Club’s meeting at Motukarara tomorrow. Williams, who turned 43 last Monday, will also be looking for a change of luck after experiencing a disastrous turn of events at the Canterbury Park meeting 11 nights ago. He was taken out of the Fay, Richwhite Sires’ Stakes with Master Mood’s younger brother, Mood Maker, in the first 100-metres, then later in the night was literally stopped in his tracks with Moody Miss when a tiring runner withdrew rapidly from the race 500 m out Providing there is no repetitin of any such ill-luck resurfacing on the grass track tomororw, Willaims has the horsepower in front of him to prove a class above his rivals in the first leg of the T.A.B. double. Master Mood indicated he has come back as well as ever with his outstanding second to Happy Sunrise in the Flying Stakes at Ashburton and has reportedly thrived in the interim.

winner is a past winner on grass his four-year-old campaign and is opposed by only two other open class performers tomorrow, Gaelic Skipper and Freightman, the rest being C 8 and C 9 horses, all coming in off level marks. Frangelico, which has scored three of her nine wins on grass including the Waikoutaiti and Geraldine Cups, may prove the best of the C 9 horses attempting to gain Cup class rating. Denis Nyhan, who partnered her when third to Happy Sunrise and stablemate Sossy at Addington last month, renews his association with the mare tomorrow. Gaelic Skipper, a fine fourth in a 1:58.4 mile at Alexandra Park last month, is proven on grass and should get into the finish, while Sossy and Gina Rosa, an improver’s eighth when resuming at Methven last month, look the best of the others. Floyd does not win out of turn but should have condiitions to suit in the second leg of the T.A.B. double, the Gallery Interiors Ltd Handicap Pace. The consistent Nordel Skipper gelding should find Ruling Skipper, Margrave and Major Bromac his toughest rivals. Chummy, a runaway winner on grass at Methven in March, blew out when resuming at Addington 11 nights ago after being parked in the running, and could show sharp improvement 3 651 Opening Night 3 G.
