(By "The Toff.")

THE summer meeting of the South 1 Canterbury Jockey Club is set down for to-morrow and Saturday. * • * * Speculators should have . an enjoyable time. ' , # # # V, ,i\V ' ; In the Otaio Handicap Peho' should beat Greencloth, and Matarma looks a certainty for the Maiden Plate. * ' ■ * . *■'■'. The big: event is the Teachemaker's Handicap, m which Baldowa has only, to be right to make it hard for the opposition to beat him. He is a class horse and, should win. ' * , '#■ • # Of the lightweights Front Rank . and Ark Royal will offer most resistance. '.■#.-.'# * > '■ Martarma also figures m the President's Handicap, but it is more than likely that he will take on the Maiden Plate. Gold Brick has improved and Lucy Locket is ■ overdue. Of the remainder Sir Roy reads best. v * * « If Arikiwai ever is going to win a race it should be the Spring Stakes, to be run over five furlongs. Amorist is his most dangerous opponent. * '#'■''#■ This takes us to the Kerrytown Handicap. All Comment has been working well at Oamaru and will have a good following. Bronstell should be m the also. • .'■* * *' . For the Flying! Handicap Money Order will have plenty of friends, but he will have to get a move on to finish m front of Stormy and Sagittarius. ■• # , # - ■ . Limoßa is a much improved filly and aome good races should come her way shortly.
