AT WHANGAREI

Mystery Gelding In Gup Race

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Auckland Rep.) The first of the country trots will be staged at Whangarei next Monday, when the Northland club's annual meeting comes up for de- • cision. "THEY are not a good lot m the Dar- * gaville Handicap, Moko Fly, Gold Treasure and Jasper appearing to have the best prospects, though Chry T star and Gold Rein may liven matters UP It ' looks like Koro Peter "and Etta Cole giving it a stir-up m the Whangarei mile and a-half, but Mokanna is likely to stretch them some. If The Abbey gives it a, go m the Northlands Cup the others engaged will know it. The chestnut looks m the right order. . Joy Bird should develop into a stayer, and Great Peter must have a show off 4.40. , Sunfish, Rockburn, Gold Dial and Nelson Tasker have only to start tb come m for attention. At. this stage it looks like The Abbey, Joy Bird and Nelson Tasker being thereabouts at the death. For the Kawaka^a Handicap the inclination will no doubt be to favor the chances Of Warplane, Royal Arcade and Lord Haldane, but previous running may suggest something else to give it a shake. Medusa's chances appear favorable m the Waipu Handicap, m which event Abrudbanya and Golden Hope are also entitled to respect. _ For the two-milo trot Gold Star stands out, with Amberite and Sebisca as his toughest opponents.- „,.,,. Warplane is m again m theliaikohe mile, and Lord Haldane, Golden Hope and Richoremay also carry silk. _ The final event may see Nelson Dillon m his element and ousting the majority of those which have competed earlier m the day.
