NOTES FROM THE NORTH

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Auckland Rep.)

For Waikato Trots on Saturday Gold Star and Peter Tracey are the best known for recommendation m the Introductory.

The showing of Free Advice m the G. N. Derby will bring her support for Frankton Handicap with Great Fyre, Andorei and Gold Dial among the others fancied.

Loch Moigh should take the Cup

if started, with Gold Jacket and Dick Dillon prominent. * * •

Great Change may have the better of Appeal, Florallne and Co. m the Hamilton.

Gold Dial, Explosion and Childe Audubon read likely for the Claudelands.

Daytime and Beatty read a likely pair for the Stewards.

If Loch Moigh is reserved for the President's he should be hard.

The saddle event is tricky with Beatty and Tranquil among the possibilities.

Corrigan's team were m the divs. every start last day of Otahuhu, and the party must have cleaned up some cash.

Great Change had to go better than handicapped to win the Innovation, but he still has a bit to spare.

Bright Night is still on the right mark to be nibbled at. • * •

Real Todd is not genuine enough to punt on.

Red Star ran true to form and cap tured the Epsom. Like wine, he is im proving with age.

Talpara will come again shortly. # # # Surveyor Is no great shakes. * # * Concertina should play a tune at some country fixture. * # # If Great Actress comes north this week the girls will have their traybits on. # * # Reatty lost too much ground rounding one turn m the Epsom. Don't discard this aged mare. « # * Dillon Huan has been twice m a place lately and may go one better next up. • • • Mamie is due any day at the smalls. *# # ' Bingen King is now m Shaw's charge. Punters are anxiously waiting the day he is thought fit. # # * Gold Dial was the best of good things beaten m the Papatoetoe Handicap. He did not move off right and one stage was giving the leaders 100 yards, then was less than 2Y 2 lengths away third. Look out. # # # It was probably the thought of cash he would reap for victory that bustled one driver at Otahuhu into defeat. • # • Wild Nut is a tough nag. • * • Golden Gratton is probably not so good as repute would have. Still, she is m the right hands. Remember. * * # Waikaha was at Epsom last week. He will be there at Xraas, too. * * * Anseline is always a possibility with the mug trotters. # # ♦ Cardinal Logan struck a snag when he met Jewel Pointer at his best. *• ■ • The only satisfaction George Phipps got by going so fast with Black Lila was by earning 400 soys. m seconds. Some of them have settled themselves and got less. That is the trouble with the light-harness game.' # # • Goldjacket lets them down mostly when they put their cash on. # * * s The luckiest people at Otahuhu were those connected with Florent, which did not have to go their handicap to catch the Franklin Stake of 245 soys. and reap a larger dividend than on opening day. # # # Uncle Bert certainly does not hit out with freedom when it is hard. • • • Dick Dillon is getting no better though he always shows up some stage. His mark seems to beat him. • # # Typist is liable at any moment '* • • J. T. Paul's team will do better from now on. # # # It will be some performance to win two Rowe Cups on end, but Aucklanders are prepared to say Waikaha will do it. # * . * Woodville covered more ground than was hoped for last week. # # # Sister Beatrice seems capable of even better yet and she caught a double at Otahuhu. • # ♦ Padlock was not asked to hack his time about m 'his two recent victories. He will go further to victory. # • • One start one win for L/och Moigh at Otahuhu. Several more to follow. • • • Mulwaree is ageing, but is not done with yet awhile. # • * Luvan is still troubling her trainer. #. # * Our Patch has been up handy, and a winning turn is not far off. #■. * * The new track at Claudelands is to be tested this. Saturday. The Waikato heads state it will meet requirements. * * # Black I/ila*s 4.28 4-5 m the Fergusson Handicap took too much out of her, and she was not at her best when she contested the saddle event late m the day. Still she got 50 soys. *. # • Anslem will get a middle dis- • tance event with the best missing. * # ■ * . . It was some going for Nelson Fame to register 2.9 3-5 m saddle at Otahuhu. The small field helped him to do it, also the pace set by Amaris. ♦ • • Though Jewel • Pointer is on a bad mark from now on, Shaw has Amaris | to improve on.
