FOR BANKHEAD

But Orphan Has Big

Chance

(By "The Toff.")

Following on his second m the Sydney Thousand, Bankhead should down the* opposition m the Riccar-

ton Handicap at Addingto.n on Tuesday.

TT.is a 4.40 class, and he i's off the end. ■*• You can bet a dollar that Bankhead is pretty good, otherwise "Scotty" Bxyce; would not have sent him all the way to Sydney for the Thousand. And the running of that race,,, will suffice to show how very unlucky. Bankhead was to get beaten. . If The Abbey comes, south he will be m, the argument.. Chiiuer is a likely customer, so. is Invader, but it is douDtful if he will begin quickly enough to be m it at the- end. • .

Fii'elight must go a big race, and' Rdi Lor and Eugene de Oro are likely to be knocking at the door. '

In what appears to be a pretty hot combination the numbers of Firelight, Sunfish and The Abbey should be conspicuous. . . • '

According to . Oamaru form, King I Pointer and Orphan should finish first and second m the Victoria Handicap, » 4.35 class, two miles. . At Oaniaru they were on the front of a 4.32 class, King Pointer beating Orphan rather comfortably. At: /LeU clingtQi> Orphan is m receipt of 48 yards 1 lroin King. Pointer. But when the judge has had his say the nutnberti may read: ■• ■ ; ... MATE O' MINE. They had a fair innings at Northland last, week. Small fields made a decrease ' m the tote returns. § ■;"•■ Medusia' is on her way. to real races. She bcilted home twice, last week. ■
