Windsor’s Pal may have track to suit at Southland meeting

Special correspondent j Invercargill An easing in conditions may assist the Timaru visitor. Windsor's Pal. to triumph in the SIB,OOO Southland Guineas at the Southland Racing Club's meeting at Ascot Park tomorrow, i - . Windsor's Pal has already given a good account of himself over the Ascot .'ark metric mile course this season. Six weeks ago, he was a game fifth in Knight Invader’s outstanding,' success on the course. On that occasion. Windsor's Pal was inconvenienced by the hard, footing, and he was niggled at in front! by the dour stayer, Joe Ninety, Windsor's Pal firmly established his metropolitan class when he beat all bur Golden King. Garth Ivil’s crack three-year-old, on the first day of the Wellington Cup carnival at Trentham in January. Golden King ' went on to win the SIOO,OOO Jarden Mile a week later. Graeme Jackson. Windsor's Pal's

trainer, said yesterday that he had been marking time with the colt, waiting for rain ito ea£e the ground. Windsor's Pal felt the hard ground last timei out when third to Peach Melba at Amberley. Windsor's Pal will only need to reproduce his Trentham dash and, for that matter, last month's Southland gameness, ,'tlo be a worthy favourite for the Southland Racing Club's feature tomorrow, j J Ultra Sound and Taciturn are firmly established as talented and consistent fillies, both also being acceptors at Oamaru on Monday. I A decision on Taciturn's ■ programme [Will almost certainly be delayed until late today. Ultra Sound’s showing tomorrow will govern her Oamaru Plans, i Cliff Reese-Jones has reservations about the shape of the Ascot Park track suiting Taciturn. She has shown a distinct preference for roomier tracks, !

Ultra Sound, a credit to Ted Winsloe’s ability to fit a horse, won on her merits .at Gore last month. The Waikouaiti Blue Riband winner is honest. Race 1 Jetbat: 9 11.55
