RAGING NOTES
GREAT NORTHERN STEEPLECHASE* of £2000; about 3% milesAll Irish 10.12; Forest Glow 10.2; Enjoyment 10.1; Mio Lume, AussieRa 9.13; Biform 9.12; Baldric 9.10; Hirangi 9.6; St Musk 9.5; Mahala, Ghikara, Smilin' Thru, Bells of Bow 9.0. All Irish was responsible lor excellent efforts al Te Rapa and lie carried a stone more. But a,part from the extra quarter mile the hill may trouble him with the weight, although he has proved him. self capable so far. It is surprising, to see Forest Glow so high in the list. This 'chaser is in the veteran stage and although more experienced than the rest of the field does not appeal. Enjoyment also may find weight and class against him and he is a doubtful starter. Mio Lume has every chance but did not run too generously at Te Ra(pa,thougli his early fall precluded any assessment of his present crosscountry form. Aussie Ra is improving but would appeal more oveisticks and does not appear likely. Biform is rapidly regaining hi<?notch in the Steeplechasing world and should be prominent. Baldric, on form, is the betting iiublic's logical first choice. It looks very muck like Baldric With minor place-getters coming: from All Irish, Hirangi and Smilin* Thru.
