THEIR CHANCE

To Live Up To Form Of Saturday

In company that was a little better than they will meet on Tuesday two horses showed out at Riccarton on Saturday last. DRIGADIER BJLL and Peneus would D ' be much m demand m a hack hurdles and seeing Nine of Spades ran more than a respectable third to this pair he should carry, money m the Trial Hurdles on Tuesday. He is little more than a novice " at the game, yet he has won one. Last Saturday he made one mistake that cost him a lot of ground, but, once he got, going again, he was making up the leeway, and was incidentally finishing on.Scion, m the same race, was hot altogether disgraced and if lie is to have a show m the National he will. need' to do something m this event. Loughrea and Quincoma are on the. same mark. .On , flat performances there is only one m it— Loughrea-Hbut Quincoma has .won over^ fences. That was at Trentham. He scored easily, but then m his next outing on the same course went badly. . v It may be a case of first up with him. ' r - ...■..- , * Nucleus, Polyphemus, Panorama and Lady Passenger have all been seen m. a 'favorable ljght, while Standard has a big private reputation. He has done everything, asked of him m his work at Trentham. Still, last Saturday may Ijave given the best guide with: NINE OF SPADES and SCION. (
