Odeon Good Prospect For Tauranga

“The Press” Special Service AUCKLAND. ! Odeon, a local five- ■ year-old, looks an excellent prospect for the £ll5O Autumn I Handicap, the first leg < of the T.A.B. double ] at Tauranga today. ( Odeon is in top form. His < last four starts have brought j him two wins and a second. < This will be his first attempt i at a middle distance in open ] company, but judged by his > latest efforts he should have i little difficulty with the assignment. i At his last start Odeon scored easily by two and a i half lengths over Semprini, ' one of his rivals today, in the ] Waihou Handicap, a mile at ■ Te Aroha three weeks ago. < Odeon led from end to end ] and ran the distance in Imin , 37 3-ssec. More than likely Odeon will < try for an all-the-way win , today and he will be hard to head. He will be ridden by a > Takanini light-weight, D. A. Raklander, who has had con- ’ siderable success on front run- i ners. Yardstick and Garden Place. ' two six-year-olds from Te ( Rapa may offer Odeon tough- < est opposition. Another chance 1 is Semprini, a six-year-old | from D. J. Arnott’s stable at Te Aroha. Jackaboy, a four-year-old • from Te Awamutu, looks the best chance for the second leg of the T.A.B. double, the i £lOOO City Intermediate Han- < dicap, seven furlongs. His ( hardest opponents may be Hi Value, Wairere Lass and : Court Duchess. ) The weather has been fine , and the track should be firm, i Selections: — ■ 11.30 a.m.—First Maid- 1 en: Golden Jinks, Kedar, Trlna.
