LEN WOOD

His Chaiice At Forbury ON DRY TRACK

(By "The Toff.")

The first time that Len Wood, strikes, a dry track he will go oJdse to annexing first prize and paying a big dividend. LIE is on the limit of the Otago. Handicap at -For bury, so are Lazarus and Corhmunder Bingen. ' At Qreymouth, Wild Hebe trotted a good race on the fli-st day, but if Engagement ajul Leo Todd are, well, they may beat all but Len Wood: ; Following" on his Southland form Logun Hanlbn is. certain to go m the King George Handicap, but whether -he can down Curlew Boy is open to question. Cm-few Boy finished second to Golden Author, at Ashburton over a two-mile journey, and on that form he only has to stick to his work all the way to win on this occasion. Athalone; on 12 yds., reads best of the others, "but Curfew Boy and Golden Author, look the pick. f If'Diok Logan is reserved for the Flying Handicap he will keep Wraokler and Sahib very busy. Dick Logan and Wrackler are engaged m the mile saddle race earlier m the day. , Sahib has been prominently over short distances m harness. As he has a winning record of better than 2.15 over a mile at Addlngton oh a good track he should be at home at Forbury if the conditions are favorable. ■ Should either Dick Logan or Wrack'ler be penalized for a victory earlier .m the day Sahib and Orphan are likely to do best.
