Southerners For Dunedin

(By ."N.Z. Truth's" Canterbury Rep.) THERE is nothing wrong with the condition of Footfall, and though he is m at Dunedin he is a horse which needs racing to bring him to his best. •• • « Toawai ran one good race at Trentham, and has been going well since returning home. He ■ will be at home with the weaker hack company at Dunedin. #'# . # t The mishap which caused Rotor's withdrawal at Wellington has had no after-effects, and he is going along again. On this season's form he does not look a Dunedin Cup possibility. ## . # Bill Stone has got Tommy Dodd down to something like racing condition, but he will need a race or two to sharpen him up. # # * Paquito will make the hacks move at Wingatui. * # * Though Paperchase has not raced for a long time, she will be very well when she takes her place m the Publicans' Handicap field next week. * * # . ' A lower scale of weights adopted by the Dunedin handicapper gives Count Cavour a chance with the maximum of 9.0 were he at his best. He looks m good health at present, and cannot be counted out of the Dunedin Cup. * # * Troilus, a- proved performer, both on the flat and over the hurdles, will be cherry ripe by next week. * * * Nothing has been working better at headquarters than Silver Coot, and though the Publicans' Handicap field looks a. bit rich, he is not out of it with four pounds above the minimum. # # * The moody Full Feather ran just well enough at Wellington to encourage further support for him m engagements near at hand. * • *. -■ , * The Orbell Brothers got'- a cheap horse when they purchased Carinthia for 350 guineas, and with both he and Rangatahi the stable holds a strong hand m hurdling events m the South.
