TWO-MILERS ARE OPEN

May Be Dan Direct In Ellerslie (From "N.Z. Truth's" Auckland Rep.) THE Onehunga and Ellerslie Handicaps at Alexandra Park on Saturday are each of two miles, one for trotters, the other pacers, j Square gaiters will step out ,m the Onehung-a heat, and from the limit Kolmar and Paradigm should do it high, wide and handsome. A neck separated them when they met m June with the honors going 1 to Kolmar. ' -> ' . Paradigm meets the Te Awainutu gelding on twelve yards better- terms this time, so he.has a chance of turning the tables. ~ ' - -. Surprise Journey is a stranger to the north, but will be wanted if the locals get the "office" before the day. . Floralihe is the sort to upset any apparent "sitter." and Gold Sovereign has been trotting like an automaton at Mangere. Despite this, Kolmar and Paradigm must take the eye. So far as the Ellerslie Handicap is concerned, Nelsonian, on account of tripping from the South Island, will appeal, but the gelding, like 'Pat and the barrow, has his work m front of him. ' : Though 60 yards behind, Trustworthy will take all manner of'keeping out of the money, for she is as fit as ever and has been cleaning up all and sundry on the track. The roan, Dan Direct, should see out two miles,, and Dealer is also capable over the distance..' , The race is open,-, but that won't stop them going m, and Little Guy will receive his share of the cash. Nelsonian and ' Trustworthy will be best backed of the remainder, but victory for Dan Direct must be v drawing nearer each meeting.
