Lucky Shu should take revenge

Wellington correspondent The Takanini galloper, Lucky Shu, looks to have a grand chance of turning the tables bn his first day conqueror, Sovereign Jake, when the two meet again at New Plymouth this afternoon. On Tuesday, Sovereign Jake beat Lucky Shu, which was the favourite, to win the N.R.M. Handicap (2000 m The winning margin was a half-length. Today the two will compete in the Triple M Service Station Handicap (2000 m which is the first leg of the T.A.B. double.

On Tuesday Lucky Shu carried 54.5 kg, while Sovereign Jake had 52kg. Today Sovereign Jake has 55, a kilogram less than his rival, which represents a turnaround of a kilogram and a half. Lucky Shu’s form this term has been consistent. Trained by the McKees, he was third at Avondale and has won in this campaign. Sovereign Jake was fifth at Awapuni before winning on Tuesday. He is trained by the Weals at Te Awamutu. The top weight, Tommy Tudor, was third on Tuesday. He carried 55.5 kg and has a kilogram more today. Although with the race minimum up a kilgram his rating remains similar to that of the first day.

‘The Graeme Rogerson-trained He’s Blushing was a three-length winner of the main sprint on Tuesday and he looks to have a good chance of completing a double in the Brown Sash (1200 m The speedy Lord Tonic should be in the money, while Eager Rose has the talent to sprint well fresh. Glory Lap failed on the first day, but is expected to improve.

John Wheeler, the trainer of Grande Diplomat, a form runner for the Mason Appliances Handicap at the Taranaki meeting today.
