THOSE BABIES

Placed Performances May Count

So early m the season it is a little difficult to get a line m handicap two-year-old races. THE Taita Handicap at . Trentham on Saturday has many pitfalls, but one or two of the acceptors have been seen out, and m favorable too. Just how hard it is can be taken : from the handicap— Bert Coyle has not placed any great difference between the field. If form is of any use the favorite should be -f Head,' Serang, which ran Royal. Fly£r, Saturday's winner at Masterton? to a narrow* margin at Hastings at the end of last month. Head S.erang met with some interference that day and then, came on again. ,' ' ' . -- - Gay Ballerina was m the limelight at Randwick and that may carry some .weight— rand money.' : '.' : Sapient went a .fair' race at Masterton", but one that .■■.went a better race wap Bquitant. • s :■..'■. , . • She showed,pace m the two-year-old trial at Martpn at the beginning of September and lived up to it last week. Valpre is one of Oney Cox's and she, very green, was by no means the worst of the crowd seen m the parade at Wanganiij. SUhward would improve by the race at lilasterton and there was an effort to get Green on him— it failed. . In such a type of race the only thing to be guided by is youngsters that have shown some ability. A pair to stand out are: EQUITANT and HEAD SERANG. v ■ ■ • ■ ' ' ~
