Riverton Saffron to beat southern stayers
Special correspondent Invercargill Saffron, from Leo Robinsons Matangi stable, might be more: than a match for an ordinary I field of Southern hack stayers! in the Southern Champion Han-; dicap, first leg of the T.A.8.. double at the Riverton Racing Club's meeting today. Saffron caught the eje with) » strong iate dab to get up for fifth over 1600 m on the first day. Over another 500 m today, the Prince Bright mare makes strong appeal Mister Dee Jay. now that the track has dried appreciably, will,' be the one she has to beat. He has been racing consistently and won the Wairio Champion Plate, a good trial for this race, in impressive fashion. The top-weight. Beau Terrific, a ’ast-start winner at Beaumont and Kindle and Shivoo, both rac-. ing consistently well in this company. are other dangerous prospects. F orest Gate, which annihilated the sprinters on the first day. will be all the rage for the second leg. the Easter Flying Stakes ; Selections:—11 a.m.—Pourakino Hurdles: Grw<« Bueenha'i.
