CONFOUND HIS CRITICS

Paganelli After Stake\

The classic Taranaki Stakes of Saturday should settle a deal of argument regarding paganelli — , whether he was at his best when he suffered defeat m the Feilding and . Awapuni classics. ' TF he is on the spotlit can be taken for certain that Trainer Mick Carroll expects to get #Yens on Cimabue over the Feilding defeat. . At iboth Feilding and Manawatu .tho tracks were slightly against Paganelii, and a firm track at New Plymouth is hoped for to settle all differences of opinion regarding the pair mentioned. Eaglet, Lady ' Quex, Ridgemount, Toxeuma, The Raider and Chrysolog3 r are the most prominent of the others engaged. Of this lot, Lady, Quex, Eaglet, Toxeuma and Ridgemount will all hav6 their admirers.

The weight-for-age scale governing the classic reads m favor of the pair specially mentioned above, unlesi Chrysology, the two-year-old, with his paper weight of 6.9,, happened to race up to his great private reputation as a speed merchant. •

Back to his early spring form and on a firm track, the tide may turn m Paganelli's favor over Cimabue.

If all go to the post for to-day's Flying, some further light may be thrown on Saturday's Taranaki Stakes.
