Many top chances in talented line-up at Tauranga tomorrow

Special correspondent Auckland The expected absence of Exocet does not make the task of choosing the Whakatane Cup winner at Tauranga tomorrow any easier. Banderol or Saci is likely now to be the favourite but they have several inform horses to beat, one being Chibuku, from Hastings, another, Spanish Star, which has been running the shorter distances so generously. Exocet is booked to be flown to Melbourne from Auckland on Sunday and will probably be spared the Tauranga. Banderol is also going to Melbourne, later in the month conditional to his showing satisfactory form in tomorrow’s Lion Breweries-sponsored race at the Whakatane Racing Club’s meeting and a couple more before his departure date. The Whakatane Cup’s 2100 metres is a shorter distance than Banderol would prefer — he often takes a while to get going, but in his best form he could be expected to run on better than most and Jetbet* 9 Race 1 11.30 ANSETT NZ HURDLES $5300; 2800 m 1 0065 Flash Face 6 W.

sufficiently well to get into the placings. Saci’s win over Bonecrusher the last time he raced was a surprise but no less creditable for that. March Sea is racing consistently well and the way Spanish Star has been running out 1600 metres suggests he will manage the 2100 metres he has to go tomorrow well enough. Spanish Star finished fourth in the 1575 metres won by Saci at Ellerslie, little more than a length from winning. Catering King, though required to give away fair amounts in weight, is the probable winner in the second leg of the T.A.B. double, the New Zealand Breweries Handicap. The big gelding, one of the best gallopers on soft or easy ground, generally comes to hand quickly so it might not matter much, that this will be his first race since he finished second in a 1400 m event at Matamata on July 16. Maurine, Matabele and Rationale, back after being rested, and That’s Jack, so consistent, are others with interesting form. Dara Q 12 40 MANN PRINTING MAIDEN $5000; 1600 m 1 2233 Sprog 9 . D.
