Balandra will this year be making her fourth trip to Hobart under the capable guidance of C.Y.C.A. Commodore Bob Crichton-Brown.  This season she has recorded the highly credible performance of line honours, course record and second on handicap in the Montagu Island Race, line honours and third in the Woollahra Cup Race and second over the line and second on handicap in the Ron Robertson Race.

With this record behind her, there can be no doubt that Balandra will be one of the early arrivals in Hobart and a definite handicap threat.
