NOTES FROM THE NORTH

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Auckland Rep.) T UVAN will be near the right money v if started. * # • Auckland's biff trotting hope—Waikaha. * # # Gold Star is not great, but stays on well and may relish two miles better than a mile and a-half. *• * # Quickfire won the N.Z. Trotting Stakes at Forbury last January and it costs money to come all the way to Auckland. Punters will probably take that as their guide for the Introductory. * # * If Loch Moigh can go m saddle, it may be a case of good-bye m the Manakau. * * * Anselm is no mug at the pacing business. * . * * Nelson Fame has to give away 60yds. m the Massey, but is sure to display some speed if started. He still has pace which makes his opponents look silly at .some stage. ; * * * Uncle Bert is good m saddle and has not been allowed to go back since he toddled home. *# ■ # Lord Minto is well aged, but if he could come back he would be worth a nibble off the limit. However, that is doubtful. * # # The turn of Amaris may come again shortly. * # # You can bet your life there will be hundreds of inquiries about Lu van's prospects. She has been sore at times, but can go fast. * # # The trouble with Sister Beatrice is that she mostly fails to see out a long journey. Still, she should give the Campbell a shake. •# # # King Capitalist is off the right end to show whether he has lost his solidity or not. * # • Mars will come again into his own. * * # Dick Dillon is well. * * * Tony Victor's form last month was all wrong. * # * When seen out last month old Tradesman threw out the signal that he is no back number. * * * Loch Moigh should be good this season. .He was only out of a place once last term and won four of his seven engagements. Be a bit with the son of Nelson Derby. f # * Florent is no mug trotter and seems to be improving with years. Rockburn must be somewhere near his best now. « « « Some people go to the trots only when Waikaha is there, because he always gives a true exhibition of solid trotting. * * * Great Change won a couple last season and cannot be regarded as a hopeless case even from his rear mark among the mug trotters. , < # # # Anseline usually goes true. That is something; * # # J. T. Paul is xisually behind Gold Star, and J.T. knows his. business. * * # Luvan will outpace her opponents if she is all right. * * » Golden Grattan is one of the hopefuls, despite defeat last month. * * * , If Taipare strikes form, lookrout for the grey. * # # Typist has some pace. * * * They have firm opinions about Gold Circle's ability. * # # An clover is being whispered about as a likely one from Broughton's Te Awamutu stable. * # # Festive Morn has still to show her best and she is a fair winner. * * * It may pay to follow the big money on Saturday, but look out for some trippers on the second day. There are usually some throwing out feelers on opening day.

Black Lila is small, but ' can make it merry. .„* # * Gold Jacket usually does best first up. * * * The layers up north are' shedding tears of blood over some of the winners at Addington last week and it does not require many such weeks to cause a few of them to shut up shop. *:■ * * If Cardinal Logan's second m the N.Z. up is not an indicator, what is? * * * Jewel Pointer is now back on 4.29, but it is doubtful Whether he will make such time at Alexandra Park. * *- * There are people up north prepared to back Logan Park already for the Auckland Trotting Cup. * *• # Jack Shaw has never gone to . Aldington from the north without making his team pay exes, and it was the same last week. * # ,* '• The cash reaped by Jewel Pointer and Amaris at the N.Z. Cup fixture would make the honeymoon trip of Owner Moodabe a particularly happy one. 1 • # * # Goldman will find it no easy job on the hard tracks. * * .■• , # It looks as if the electric tote will be m operation at Alexandra Park m unexpectedly short time. President Johnny Rowe now seems alive to the fact that' it is an absolute necessity and the A.T.G. are moving m the matter of finance.

Direct Morning can bo expected again when stepped out. .# # *

Waikato and Northlands fixtures are being 1 eag-erly awaited. '
