MATERIAL IS ON HAND

Form That Is Exposed May

Prove Reliable

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Christchurch Representative.) •! There is sufficient material m the Mosgiel Handicap, at Wingatui, to make an interesting 1 contest. pOUNT CaVoUR, on his Ashburton V/ running, does not look to have much chance, as he meets a better class on worse terms, and he does not look nearly ready. It will be Footfall's Initial appearance for the season, and that will tell against him. Set Sail looks leniently treated with 9.1, and is the pick of the handicap

Town Bank was sore at Geraldine, while Vaward and Overdrawn do not appeal. v '

In her first start of the season at Geraldine, she carried 9.4, and though the company to-day is stronger, her undoubted class will help her through.

Pink Note likes the course, and the race at Geraldine will sharpen him up, but Set Sail, at only two pounds wbrse : terms, should hold him safe. . Taboo Is one of the hardy variety, and is well seasoned.

He may be reserved for the October Mile later In the day, m which race his prospects seem better.

The dashing form of . Hoylake at

Ashburton, and the convincing manner m which ho has been handling his training tasks, will install him favorite, and with 7.10 he will take a power- of beating. - >

He is an improving horae, but will need to be at his best to head off Set Sail.

Lucy Locket failed m a weaker class at Orarl, and would be suited by -a shorter race later m the meeting. .

Prickles will be given a Guineas trial, but it Is a big order to expect her to run but a solid mile atod aq'uarter m this company*

At this time of the year form cannot be disregarded, and' a. summary of the field points to: •

SET SAIL,

HOYLAKE and ■) PINK NOTE.
