REAL GIANTS

Horses Went On (From ''N.Z. Truth's" Auckland Rep.), It 1 is interesting toArecall that; 'such first-class handicap horses as ANpnette, Wairiki, Merry 'Roe, Vagabond, Rapine, and .Laughing Prince have been winners' of the Avondale Guineas m past years. COR that reason the mile : classic, to r ! be vdecided this month, claims strict -attention,' but "a glance through those remaining in' does not foster the hope that anything engaged will reach the sarrie pinnacle as ', The ,' racing . game. is, A however, fjiill of surprises,' and naturally the , connections of. some of, the coming « Ayondale Guineas field do hbt hold pessimistic views. A deep study of the seventeen remaining m reveals that ... they are mostly. \6f such a quality as to expect !i fairly even battle for supremacy, while the majority will also have been afforded racing before the day. Three— in Flying Prince, Refresher, md Tahpma — already have winning form of late weeks .to claim attention, while Marton and Wanganui racing will possibly throw some further light Dn the prospects of Eaglet, Clopton a.nd others. • • , Berinie, Catoma and Motere are northerners which had the benefit of a race at Pakuranga, while further opportunity'will be afforded on opening flay at Avondale, * Imperial- Prince, which gave great promise as a two-year-old last season Df on, still remains m, but it would seem he will bey faking on the Avondale class without a race^ for he 3oes not appear among entries for jperiing day. y . y. Present indications are that -Frank Coomb, who led m Prpdice as victress last, year, has good prospects; ot reDeating the performarice with Flying Prince, while -J: "T. " Ja;mies6ri holds a strong hand' with three Aengalged— . Saglet, Refresher .and^iClppton. Their '6rm at Marton arid .Wanganui should 3erve asAa guide. - y It is understood that, good things are sxpected of Ciopton, arid it .should be nterestirigyto note his eaxly three-rear-old form.
