SECOND START

Met Trouble In His - v v First Up (From "N.Z. Truth's" Christchurch Rep.) Though he was only third m a moderate field m the Winchmore Handicap at Ashburton, there was an excuse for Court Jester's failure, HE got the worst, of all the trouble going on the narrow, turning track, and as a hot pace was on all the way he never had time to settle down. Thpse who failed to note his running consequently did not participate m the liberal price about him when he /was saddled up for his second start of the day. ' ■■■/.:.'■ . ■ He was never further back than . fourth and. was favored with good - handling by Doug. Cotton, who got him home a heck ahead of Troilus. Jack McCombe has got the Australian hor^e back to good racing trim end he should do well on the northern tour wfth Grown Area and Mooregag. Jack had an unlucky run with him for a long time, but now the Comedy King gelding looks like living up to the promise, be save aj? a two-year-old.
