SECOND LEG

Chance For Western

King

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Auckland Rep.) The October Handicap comprises the second- "leg" of the double at Alexandra Park on Saturday and eleven now figure on the card. ...-.,... nittON HUON and The Shrew j. should both account for Lady Dunmore off the limit and give others behind them a go for the money. Native Prince and Jackie Audubon are two solid gentlemen on the 12yds. mark, more particularly the firstnamed, which is now m the pink and as fit as a fiddle. His recent track work has been accomplished m a dashing manner and after his showing m August when he just waltzed home to the tune of 2.45 4/6— a mile gait of 2.12 — the contention Is that he will produce the goods off 2.18. Jackie Audubon Is slide; too, over this distance, and if reserved for. this event or failing to be m first berth In the Spring Handicap, he is likely to give it a shake as well. Talent should be suited by the eight! furlongs, Dalmeny and Gold Jacket also being partial to the distance. Western King will be bracketed with Native Prince and this Shaw combination must be tough. Both are brilliant and liable to smash any record on a fast track. It looks like the combination giving the others a headache if both line up, and the figures on the tote will prove that is ...the opinion of patrons. If this hot-pot combination goes under it may be at the hands of The Shrew, Dillon Huon.or Jackie Audubon.
