Good Meeting At

Manawatu

(By "The Toff.") Flags will be flying at Palmerston North next Wednesday when the Manawatu Trotting meeting takes place. AMBLESIDE should run well. After ■ losing several lengths at Wellington, he was disputing the lead m the straight. v Brian Bingen has acted well m his races, and should be capable of conceding his opponents 72 yards. ' .. .Alton Brook ran second at Marlborough. He should make amends at Palmerston North. It is just a question of Bonriiewah staying on to win the Stew- . ards' Handicap .at Manawatu. Harold Lee may be the hardest she has to beat. -.'/;.. y Enawah only has to be right to be prominent m. the Manawatu Cup.' Tumatakura, Royal Comrade and Hostess are capable of making her improve on her time to beat them. ' Zella ! won so. easily at Wellington that a ; dividend ought, to be, waiting, for her at Manawatu. j Remember Carmel. He is a pretty good sort. Schoolmate is creeping on to a mark from which he only 'has to be right to get some easy money. Audp Spray and •.Tamahine should outclass the opposition m the . Palmerston North Handicap,, •Queen Elizabeth won two races over a mile and a-quarter at Nelson' and is off the limit of a 2.56 class oyer a similar journey at the Manawatu fixture. , , ; _ THERE' is bright; future for ..Country King which added to his. list toy capturing the Thompson Handicap at invercargill. He is a 'halfbrother to . that 'good mare Queen's Own, and next season he ■ might be as good as his aristocratic relation. ■■ # .y- ...# : :•»■•'• ,-'....- * ■■ * v WHEN offered f or< sale for £ 600 - early : m -the • seasbn, Warplane would, have been a. bargain. Since then, he lias woii twice that sum, and will keep- on doing it.
