Just Michael looks on way back
Special correspondent Auckland The smart four-year-old, Just Michael, looks well placed to regain form in the $22,000 W. W. Johnstone Memorial Pace at Cambridge this evening. Just Michael seemed to be somewhere near his best with a good run for fourth in the Nawera Cup on March 27. This was his first glimpse for form after being sidelined with a niggling leg injury last February. With the gelding starting from the front his driver, James Stormont, could make his better-performed rivals work overtime.
The only doubt about Just Michael’s expected top showing is his inability to
handle the left-handed Cambridge. In his first showing that way round, Just Michael did not handle the bends when campaigned at Forbury Park last January. He is however, a smart individual and has the class to overcome such an obstacle, having had the experience of his Hawera outing. Gypsy Vance’s eye-catching run for fifth in the Easter Cup at Addington earns him respect in tonight’s contest. In that race he worked clear late and finished fast but too late to win a place. He is a noted stayer, having already won the Franklin Cup last November, and his big hurdle will be a 30-metre handicap.
