BRILLIANCY IS EVERYTHING

Getting Out Smartly In Railway Will Mean That Half The Battle Has Been Won PAGANELLI AND SILVERMINE HAVE SPEED | Speed out of the barrier is a ver^ big consideration when looking for the winner J | of the Railway Handicap, and a good get-away generally means that the battle has j 1 been half won. This year should be no exception. |

IT Is seldom Indeed that one of the rag-tag division wins the big sprint at Ellerslle, and a look through the list of previous winners bears out this statement. Aussie takes number one position with 9.9, ten pounds more than he failed with last year, when his stablemate, Awafere, saved the day. Good ..horse as Aussie undoubtedly is, he has been set a "main" that will be difficult to reach. No chance has been taken with Paganelli m awarding him 9.3, three pounds over weight for age. Last week at Feildlng Paganelli made the field m the Stakes look so- many goats, and it was then given out that he would run m the Railway. It Is to be hoped that this intention ts carried out, for he Is sure to^be one of the first fancies m double betting.' Not that such wagering should influenoe an owner, but still Intentions can be made publio earlier than has been the case In some recent weeks, Cimabue went badly at Feilding— too badly to be true. He Is either off color or needs a spell. Carrying big loads, Awarere has been keeping m the eye of late, and the track will suit him. He won last year with the minimum, but now with nearly two stone more he has the hardest part to do. After Trlnningr tk© Stewards', Silvermine, was sent home to await the Railway. nniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitniitiinittiiiiniiiiiiimiiimiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiitiiiiniuiiiiiiinnniiiinini

He has 8.12, eight pounds more than at Riccarton. The turning track up north will suit him, for he has great Initial speed to call on. Getting out will enable him to obtain a position, and then he can fight on when called on. Crown Area may be troubled by the course, and a little more time to get on his feet- would be better. Joy King has not been out, much this season, and it may be later on- for him. , Lysander Is sure to win one before long, but this may not be the right one. The Hawk has a fair chance, but Bright Glow cannot be left out altogether. She will not need to give them any start at the jump away, however. Tea Time can get over the ground and should account for both Booster and Kingficld. Neither Episode nor Money Order will be there, but White Fang should be on hand, and be m it for a part at least. The form of Goblin Market In the mile Jockey Club at Riccarton was very encouraging. He began well and only went down m the last stride to Crown Area. At 7.8 the Greenwood three- year-old is given a great show. Nancy Lee and Paperchase may not gret to the class, but the more than useful Red HecKle won the Members' at . Riecarton, and has gone on iml proving. iiiiiiiMiiianiwimiiiimtiimmiiMiimnimiiiniitmiitmimimiiiiiiiiimiminiiiiii

Consent haa failed since his Trentham success, while Oration goes m nts and starts. He Is altogether too moody. White Wings was m the dividendpaying list at Takapuna on two occasions, but this is something different. Moa Bird has been out, recovering from a mishap. That should be enough to put her out of consideration. If Banket gets away on terms she will be the early leader, but when the strain is being felt she will most likely disappear. The seven stone division comprises practically one half of the , handicap; and nobody would grieve a great deal if they were all to fall out. Gold Money looks the most likely of the bunch to be worthy of nomination. Fancy things like Nurjahan, Mon Star, Lucky Light and Hone Heke being thought worthy of entry for a Railway! Why stop at a mere Railway when the Newmarket and the Oakleigh Plate have yet to be decided this season? There should be a very decided thinning down of the field when the first payment is made, but even without that there is no trouble m sorting out the likely ones. Three "that loom large m the eye are PAGANELLI, ! SILVERMINE, I GOBLIN MARKET. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiini
