WITH THE GALLOPERS

NAPIER MEETING BRAMBLETORN'S CHANCES IN CARNIYAL HANDICAP. (Notes by "Canard.") Celebrating its carnival with a race ineeting, Napier has provided some fare for its habitants and visitors. Though stake money is not large the fields are pretty average. Naturally, the win and place tote is being used, the club being up-to-date. * * * The Greenmeadows Sprint of five furlongs starts the ball rolling and 11 are engaged. Good Hunting has a big weight with 10.10, but it is only five furlongs and he is not bad, whilst none of the others are world-beaters. Princess Bell, however, can go a fast five and so can Foreign King. Pukehou reads best of the lower division. The tote may read: — Princess Bell Good Hunting Foreign King from — GREENMEADOWS HANDICAP Of £75; 5 furs. Good Hunting, 10.10; Princess BeK 8.11; Asterisca 7.11, Admatha, 7.7, McHeath, Foreign King, 7.3, Auraline, Lavin'ia, April Fool, Haine, Pukehou, 7.0. * * ♦ There are a dozen-in the Trial and not a decent cuddy among them. Perhaps the least bad are: — Marais High Grader Bradman from — TRIAL HANDICAP Of £60; 6 furs. High Grader, 9.0, Royal Dash 8.8, Hybiscus 8.7, Bradman 8.3, Joy Stick Marais, Tareha, Royal Court, Royal Highness, Dusky Crown, Gold Pebble, Speedaway, 8.3. ♦ * * Brambletorn heads the Carnival and has gone up four lb for his win in far better company. He should be home here. My Ownv has been such a disappointment that few will stick to her. Tahoma won the other day over a mile, whilst old White i'ang is indeed down in the days when he has 7.9 in a field like this. Shrewd is better than some of the others, but to have called the Thurnham — Bonne Bouche gelding Courageous was a pure misnomer, for he turns it up if tackled. Lady Spy, after her runaway victory at Ellerslie, reads by far the , best of the lightweights and the form horses are: — Brambletorn Lady Spy Tahoma from — CARNIVAL HANDICAP Of £115; 15 miles. Brambletorn 8.6, My Own 8.2, Tahoma 7.11, White Fang 7.9, Shrewd 7.9, Courageous, Lady Spy, 7.6, Grand Lahu, 7.4, Sylvan Dell, 7.0. * ^ * Just six are still left in the Wharerangi Hack, and the best of these may be: —

Courtyard Slippery Stitch from — WHARERANGI HACK HANDICAP Of £75; 6 furs. Courtyard, 8.8; Slippery, 8.3; Stitch, Cuddle, 8.2; Jazz King, 7.10; Golden Shadow, 7.6; Wine, Tray, 7.0. Goshawk heads the Highweight acceptances, followed by Royal Songster. Both have earned their weight in this company, but the ones to cause most trouble are such as Gold Ruler, Red Bank and Outward Bound. The distance is once round (whatever that may be) and the chosen may be: — Gold Ruler iRoyal Songster Red Bank from — TARADALE HIGHWEIGHT HANDICAP ' Of £75 ; once round. Goshawk, 11.12; Royal Songster, 11.4; Courageous 10.11; Sabatini, 10.3; Gold Ruler, 9.13; Miss Hastings 9.8; Mon Roi, 9.4; Red Bank, Outward Bound, Sum Up, Squeeze, 9.0. * * * * • Souchong is topweight in the Flying and has earned this 9.9 on Trentham running. Others which appeal are Royal Parade, Head Serang, False Scent and Toboggan and the finish may include. — Royal Parade Souchong Toboggan from — • FLYING HANDICAP Of £100; 6 furs. Souchong, 9.9; Royal Parade, 8.3; Good Hunting, 8.3; Cuticle, 7.8; Head Serang, 7.8; False Scent, 7.7; Rory Mor, 7.0; Toboggan, Bernera, 7.0. * * * * Earlier starts will give some indication as to the field in the New Napier Hack seven, but given a start there may be support for: — Court Lady Princess Bell High urader from — NEW NAPIER HACK HANDICAP Of £75; 7 furs.
