IN OPEN MILE

Pair That WiU Have Big Support

As a New Zealand Cup trial the Wainui Handicap these days is a wash-out. TN the flays -of the fixed penalty the 1 mile at Trehtham could be won without an Increase m weight and owners took the of giving Cup candidates an outing. . / But it is different now— Hk« everything else. ■ Top weight Partaga had hi« laßt run at Wanganul In the open six where, with the same weight, he ran third. Two days previously he had won over seven, and he won In a manner that; said another furlong would not have troubled him. " ' Partaga is nearly as consistent as the sun and^he will give punters a great run. ; " . : . ■" Battle Colours is a Cup nominee, and this is the type of race that should . suit him at thia stage of his preparation. He. goes a really good mile. The iron horse, Royal Game, must be respected, but strangely, of late, he has been doing better over ten furlongs. Cashier, a three-year-old, is set a difficult task and he may be too close to the top division. The distance should trouble Chelone, though he is sure to be m it for a good part. King Midas 5 Is a, peculiar brute, but under this poundage Starboard Light does best. . . . The course is no stranger to Solrose and she would go very well with fthe sting out. ' • ' /' There is only fifteen pounds between the top weight and the ;bunch on the minimum, the best of which may be Kilmiss and Pangolin. , '■:■ The more the list" is looked over, the more it points, to PARTAGA and BATTLE COLOURS. itt i iitnnm mi ntti imi iitti nil m ntn tnnmi n 11 nin ih nntittHi tm nti im twin ittti tui nttiiiwnwititi itm
