South Auckland Scratches

I (From "N.Z. Truth's" South Auckland Rep.) WAIKATO proved the goods. A double header, Wiltshlre-Mah- ' gani, that set all- turf tongues wagging. w * * Roy Syme, rider-trainer of Wiltshire, and Ces. Lowe, trainer of Mangani, didn't bottle up their belief that theywould give the Nationals a shake. Good luck to them! • * * If Lunette runs up to her best form of last season she will collect early. . ' * ■ * . ■ ■ « Queen Arch is a possibility m the Jellicoe because she can stay ten furlongs out to the. end. ; ' # ■ * i> Leasehold, an Acre two-year-old Jim Thorpe owns at Te Rapa, is a good-looker. ** . * Pompeius will be Phil. Brady's representative at the Pakuranga meeting. The Lucullus gelding should do the stable credit m whatever he is saddled up. ■ ' ■• . i * * » • Value had her last run at Avondale m the autumn. The Paper Money mare has done enough work at Te Awamutu to give her a chance m her engagement on Saturday. • # * Love Call, a three-year-old Romeo gelding, m Jack Wallace's team at Te Aroha, "went west", last week' with an internal complaint. mj # * Good judges will have a flutter on Taneriri m the Jellicoe. . # * ' * Parfait Amour has the speed, and with the "stick-on" habit would' land a stake. .■'•.•■ '■*..*. .* ; Master Arch will plod along m the Hunt Cup at Pakuranga to get some money for his Paeroa owners. • , # m ■ Master Roley is going to endeavor to open the account of the Tutchen stable on Saturday. # # * Paddon has not done much serious work since he won at Trentham last month, but he has the condition as [the result of being racing since the autumn. ■ ».' ' - • * * Archangel won the Hurdles at Cambridge on Labor Day. That should be sufficient for the Archiestown mare to curry favor at Ellerslie m this division next Saturday. * * * If Kaha gallops anywhere near his best the crowd m the Auckland Handicap won't be too tough for - the Limond chestnut. * * * Bert Hinkler has been working long enough on the tracks -at Te Aroha to go well at his' first appearance. ** . * If Cybele is m the Auckland Handicap on Saturday do not forget she has pace and has 'kept m good nick some hurdle racing m the winter. * * * Temperature is no crack, but. they are not a good lot m the Hunters' Steeplechase for the Waikato prad to beat. -.._..
