UNHOPPLED TROTTERS

Repute and Rollo May Be Nonsuited At The Seaside

(By "The Toff"). . The principal contest for the unhoppled trotters at New Brighton on Saturday is the Autumn Handicap, a 4.50 class.

MOST people who saw Repute at Timaru will fancy him. He is on the limit. Dipnoi figures on -4.48, and Repute will have to keep busy to prevent the Rangiora gelding from outstaying him m the long straight. St. Petrox also will have to be considered. : . If Trampcrisp goes a level race, he, too, should take a hand m the finish. The law of averages points to Repute and Dipnoi. Springtime went a good race at Timaru, and for .that reason he wilt have plenty of followers m the Wainoni Handicap.. I

It is a mile and a- quarter race. ! Apex, which ran second m a twomile race at Timaru, also begins off the limit. On recent form Apex appears to be the better prospect of the pair. Also engaged are Heroic, Loiterer and Roger Lyon, but Apex, . Springtime and perhaps Nonsuit may fight out a spirited .finish. The day's pleasure will;cohclude with the 'Electric Handicap,, to be run over one mile m saddle. If reserved for it, Rollo would be a tough customer, and Mercury would keep the remainder very busy. j
