ALCIDES SHADE UNLUCKY
Alcides fail*.l by half a length tr justify his favouritism in the, Nikau Hack Handicap, but he was probably unlucky, as Lady Eka carried him very wide when he was running round the leaders at the top of the straight. Once free, of Lady Eka he challenged Bazaine determinedly, but Bazaine hung, on better than he often does and held'him at bay. " v ; ; Bazaine began fast and was always at or near the van. Lady Eka passed him at the end*of a couple of furlongs, but. when the mare hung out Bazaine resumed control. Beed's resourceful riding was of valuable assistance to him over the concluding stage. This brother to Golden Chant, whose colours he also carries, was well beaten recently at Levin, but on that day ..he met interference just after the start.
The dividend pair were too speedy for the rest. When straightened up Lady Eka came on again to hold third money two lengths away. All Spirit, who was checked in the straight, was fourth, and Quake, after sacrificing bosition early. Was too far out of it afterwards to offer danger. •Windscreen was left at the start.
