Welcome Guest a Possibility
SOUND PREPARATION The New Zealand Cup candidate, Welcome Guest, ran up to track form at Napier Park on Saturday, where he won the Park Stakes, and the win does not entail a penalty for the New Zealand Cup. The Royal Chief four-year old recorded a particularly fine performance on the second day of the Hawke’s Bay spring meeting when he won the Russell Memorial Handicap of' one and a-quarter miles, in brilliant fashion by coming from what' looked a hopeless position. Welcome Guest had his next race in the Wellington Handicap, of one and a-half miles in which he ran fifth in heavy going. In the Watkin’s Handicap he struck trouble in the early running and was sent right back to the tail of the field. Welcome Guest has come through his New Zealand Cup preparation in splendid style and at the moment he appeals as a possibility among the light-weights engaged in the big twomile event. Welcome Guest was sgot from Clarenceuse, by Clarenceux from Bon Bord, by Boniform from Ormolu, by Orme, and he is trained by Mrs L. Campbell and J. H. Jefferd at Hastings.
