Rowe Cup rivals vie for favouritism

Auckland correspondent

The clash between Tyron Scottie and Highwood in the $12,500 FAI-Metlife Handicap Trot at Alexandra Park tonight could decide the favourite for next Saturday night’s $125,000 Rowe Cup. Those two high-class trotters, plus the brilliant Directorship, which has bypassed tonight’s race after an impressive win last Saturday, look the likely trio to vie for favouritism. But a top display by either Highwood — also a resounding winner over a strong field at Alexandra Park last Saturday — or Tyron Scottie tonight could determine the Cup favourite. Tryon Scottie missed the first night of the meeting. The six-year-old posted a

top performance to nab Highwood on the line after returning from the InterDominions in Melbourne at Addington on May 6. Tyron Scottie has plenty of speed and the 2200-metre invitation feature should suit ideally. Tonight’s race is the last opportunity for some of the Rowe Cup hopefuls to show some form. The first two home tonight are-guaranteed starts in the big feature on Saturday. Levrik, did well to finish sixth after breaking badly at the start last Saturday night. If he begins cleanly, he could prove a worthy opponent. Of the others, Evander Rose and Our Colleen went good enough races last Saturday to warrant respect
