NOTES AND COMMENTS.

(Bt Gi.zxcob.l tll0 i Cup candidates seen under silk at Xrentliain several made favourable impressions. Iranui looks bright and muscular, and thoa»h ri " arterS l St is I,ekl lll «' Hftll s mare is not a true stayer, there does not appear to bo much ical foundation for that belief. In the past X> has done all that was required of her n li s direction. \as she not beaten Wr.Mi> t Mischief ill the \J cllingtoii Cupr Were lite latter in the Aow Zealand tup, then, verv nrobablv she would be at a short price to-dav.

Goodwin Park has earned a 71b. penti! 'i" hl f /voight will now bo 7st. Gib. pi * i ls a ,P cc "'''H' horse to w m' i who (it is reported) ill have the mount may not be ablo to do him justice. He seems to be a horse with one run only, and this must be sated till the psychological moment. iW, f U ; 0 n niglulon the Trentham u ° anil Kilosteri is in r j r .v°f tlu la^ cr -, This ><><* may be scoHed at, and ihe question asked", i- j.j mi not win tho Wainui Handicap? The writer merely thinks that he was unlucky. His finishing run was a splendid one. He has a nice light weight, and, if ho can stay, which it that he can do, he is certain to hnish in front of a hard puller like Boanerges, who will have beaten himself Ijoloro the last half-mile is filtered upon ihe gallop put up by Kilosteri in tho Wainui Handicap reads better than the pcrlonnance of Boanerges in the Wellin"ton Handicap. Not only docs this appiv to the time point of view, but it should be remembered that Kilosteri carried more weight than Boanerges. Mwrivonja dees not seem to be hersejf and the opinion expressed in this column some time back-that her trainer would have dilhculty in getting her right by .November ■Weeins likely to foe borne out. No notice ened l,e' taken of her defeat in the Wainui Handicap, as had a very big weight up. and this completely anchored her. Added to this she got into trouble every time that she attempted to make a run.

Domino was on hand right (ill (ho finish of the Wainui H.indicap, and, as lie has boon specially trained for the Now Zealand Cup, lie may turn the fables on tile horses which finished in front of him at Trent ham. On Tuesday week lie moved very freely in a good working gallop over a mile and a half, and pulled up well. There does not, therefore, appear to be much fcan that he will not see out the journey.

iMira, Mills;,a Will, Kauroa, and Projoctilo did not please by their ell'orts, but Negative went well, though he was very sore on Monday, and liis trainer may not be able to go on with, him.

Miscount was beaten by Byron in tho Champion Plate in time that was not Rood, considering that the track was better than was llio ease the first day. If the Cup winner was nut, at Trentham it may be Kilo.stori or Iranui, but the southern visitor?, who wore at Trentham, will not have tho horsrs winch thoy saw there, and doclai'o for Prim, who is consideivd to be a hotter mar© this yoar than previously. She is carrying all belore her on Uio fliccarton tracks.

< Ainsdalc lias been sent homo fo Hastings, and will not he a member of the J\aramu team for Kiecarton, as ho is suffering from a cold.
