This is the chief final winter fixture of the Dominion, and when it concludes (next Wednesday) the will be drawn across.the trotting picture for the season follows A comprehenslve review of to-morrow’s programme MANGERE HANDICAP Of 300sovs; one and a-half miles; 3.30 limit Delavan This event is going to be a real puzzler for Dillon Huon '’ Lt backers as twenty-two figure on the end of the handiAsset Lt! cap - Tbe result of the ballot for places has already Lonlford horDe ££ been published. Among this contingent will be found Bingen king' Lb SOlUe V6l ' y useful Performers, including Asset, Richore Vesta’s 6 •••••" L,t " and Daytime (Christchurch), Loch Moigh (Palmerston Queen Audubon Lt! North), Master Cute (Hawera), Lottie Advance (NelSaster Hula !! tt S ° n) ’ Mars ’ Longford, Master Huia and Lola Recklaw, Concertina* 1 " " Lt ’ all of ffhom promise to make the heat exceedingly. Daytime l ? .’ !'. Lt. interesting. It is quite possible the winner will come Hohora Lt. from the front-rankers, and investors will probably go MartonStte nCe .' Lt tor some of those mentioned. Admiral Lock is on a Kingsclere . . . Lt handy mark and Julian’s charge is one that will require Lola Reklaw . . Lt. to be taken into consideration, while Uncle Bert and Admiral Lock" ! 12 Van Rich will keep those in front of them going. The Amaris is latter, if he goes away right, has plenty of speed and Qnc?e°Bert". ’. !1! is; bound to have a bi S following. Master Councillor Buz Buz . .’." 24 is well, and being a good beginner must be given a Van Rich ... 24 chance. However, it looks as if the popular selections Master Coun- ~, a eillor 36 wIU be. — Walhoon '.'.!! lo LOCH MOIGH, ASSET AND VAN RICH WINTER HANDICAP Of 300sovs; two miles; 4.56 limit Peter Boy’. Lt Eleven appear on the limit, and of these the Appeal . Lt! Otago trotter, Peter Boy, may do the best. Roma Escalator . . Lt. Bingen, however, if she does it right will be a nuisance Roez ~ OT‘ . Lt! to those on the same mark and behind her, but it is Roma Bingen . Lt. seldom she takes it on. Roez has been threatening rZ Z cS'«'' U to lift a stake this season, and is in fine form, while Colonel Thorpe Lt! Floraline, who won handsomely at Thames, will b.e Floraline .... Lt. looked upon with favour by a certain section of the Kempton ydS ' o! 3 ' speculative public. Kempton (Canterbury), Miss Leda Great Change ! 24 (Wellington) and the Corrigan pair, Great Change and M.iss Leda . . 36 Petroleuse, will be awkward squad, and if anything S A??elTne UbllaiS *4B can head this lot it deserves the stake. Sean Triubhais, Kolmar . '. '. ! 60 If well, must have a decent show, while Kolmar, on a Golden Gate . . 60 reproduction of his Cambridge form, would beat the pftrollSsT '' ' 72 majority of the opposition. Golden Gate and Tiger Bingen Starr" ! 72 Salve are solid customers and Bingen Starr, although Tamerlane ... |4 new to t i le trotting business, is sure to have many Nom-mahai ... 64 f r i e nds. The Canterbury pair, Tamerlane and NourmaSovereign . . 108 hal, are fine and improving trotters, and the latter has wna Nut .. . . 108 been showing consistent form in the South. Gold amp ’ Sovereign is a hardy annual, and Trampfast is a real horse that may be knocking at the finish. Those that may find most favour CORRIGAN’S BRACKET, MISS LEDA AND PETER BOY. CAMPBELL HANDICAP Of 1000sovs; two miles; 4.33 limit Dick Dillon ... Lt. Twenty classy customers promise to parade for Silk Thread . . Lt.. this interesting event, and Handicapper G. Paul has Doctor < Dill’on ! Lt! given backers something to do to select the two diviTerence Dillon Lt. deiid-payers. Two high-class trotters in Napland ana Goldman . . . • Lt. Peterwah are included in the field, and should give Harold®Thorp'e Lt. some of the speedy pacers an anxious time. Peteryds. bhd. wall in particular will be a nuisance to the opposition Western King . 12 an( j n w m not occasion surprise to see the Gisborne Billy *Sea *. *. 24 horse prove the superiority of trotters over pacers. Machine Gun . 24 Qf Auckland-trained continent on the front, Sl P FLme r '24 little favourable can be said, as they appear overb y the Southerners, Terrace Dillon, Sijk Holly Boy .... 24 Thread and Harold Thorpe, and a lively trio they will Countryman .. 26 prove Harold defeated Terence at Oamaru but it Logan 48 looks as if the odds are very much,in favour of the Peter Bingen . 60 Author Dillon representative. Silk Thread is an imImprlnt .... 72 ing pacer and muat be well to the fore in this big struggle Western King cannot be ready and his stable-mate, Jewel Pointer, requires’ a race ™ Two Anselm will put up a hard fight and Billy Sea showed at Addington that he is coming right and threatens to get a slice of the money. Machine Gun likes the Epsom track and can be depended on to make a bold bid for victory, and Holly Boy is always a posslb ' li3y ■ '' , , Fame will probably find the journey too far. Countryman could if he wo aid but while he is speedy he is unreliable and in, any case he appears to be held safe by Cardinal Logan, a brilliant consistent pacer that is almost sure to lift some portion of the prize. Peter Bingen is a little beauty, but he maybe hampered by the going. If the pace is not too solid over the eaily stages then Peter should be handy at the finish. If Imprint has returned to his best form the public whould not lose much time in getting to the machine, but he has to be taken on trust. There are four prizes to be secured, and the favoured ones may be: TERENCE DILLON, MACHINE GUN AND PETERWAH HOBSON HANDICAP Of 400sovs; two miles; 4.42 limit Speed King . . . Lt. Great Earl, who figures among the limit brigade, Gold Dial . . . Lt. promises to start a good favourite in this event, his £ rea *_F„ arl • • • U form at Addington being fresh in the public mind. The /iSapS/e ;: : Lt! Great Audubon gelding won a twelve furlong event Amaris . . . . Lt. j n good style, but on tbis occasion lie bas an additional nnrfI a ßert lU ‘ " Lt! halt mile to traverse. Daytime is another delegate Gr .ttan from Canterbury that has good qualifications, but has Thorpe .... Lt. not been In the limelight for twelve months. Speed Henry Logan 3 * 12 King might do the best of the others, although Gold buz Buz .... 86 Dial’s references are good enough to get a monetary Direct Wood . . 48 position. Henry Logan is a likely sort, and Direct Avenge™. !60 Wood, who raced prominently at Epsom last winter, will Marshal Neil" ". 60 be well in the picture when it comes to the finish. Respect . . . . 60 Avenger is a game pacer that possesses a nice turn Rock Hinton ". 84 of speed and he is never far away when the business is brisk. Marshal Neil can tramp a solid sixteen furlongs, and if in his best fettle will be very handy. Respect and Gold Jacket are both well and will give the visitors a big tussle for supremacy. The public elect will probably be: GREAT EARL, RESPECT AND GOLD DIAL STEWARDS’ TROT HANDICAP Of 500sovs; two miles; 4.42 limit Ngatira . . . . Lt. Although the field Is smaller in this unhoppled item, ingle Bingen . . Lt. the placed division is by no means any the 'easier The Tartar ° 6 Lt! spotted, and some high-class exponents of the squareWimmera King Lt! gaited style of locomotion will be pitted against each Sebisca - • • • • Lt. other. ' Ingle Bingen is a big possibility, and so too ■Frisco Beau. 12 are Tbe Tartar and Sister Beatrice, whose performPeter ” ances this season have been of an attractive nature. McKinney . . 24 Frisco Beau is nicely placed. ePter McKinney has BettyMoko" *! 4s made splendid progress since coming North. That Eizear" ..." 1 60 dashy trotter, Trampfast. provided he decides to act favourably on the grass, will be the toughest nut to crack. Betty Moko Is a good honest mare that can be relied upon to do her best, and Eizear is also favoured. Most support will be on hand for: TRAMPFAST, PETER McKINNEY AND SISTER BEATRICE MARCONI HANDICAP Of 300sovs; one and a-quarter miles Uramie Lt. Fourteen useful pacers appear on the end of this Hohora ...... Lt. _. Ekoeranei . . . Lt. handicap, among whom is the crack two-year-old filly Mars’®. 1 " ! ; Lt. Enawah, with her Sapling Stake’s laurels fresh upon C Pronto S Lt hel '- The daughter of Peterwah will be up qgainst Vestas . ! Lt. some solid and experienced performers, but she can be L* depended upon to give the spectators a glimpse of her Enawah .."." ! Lt! ability. Lola Recklaw will have a lot to say in the Cora Tacks . . Lt. settling of this argument, and unless hampered at the Tuf lolock ' ' Lt' start - will be out in front early setting a merry pace. Kicnore ..'! '. Lt! Richore is good enough but not dependable, while Ixila Reklaw . Lu Lottie Advance, if back to her previous best, will take Bronze p a» a poW er of heading off. Uramic ca nscamper to some Lady ' ' tune, while Roamer is working in great style, which Rothschild . . 12 suggests that Roe’s charge will get some of the good Rua r pene an ' ' il things offering. Mars must be held in high esteem, Rockaway".'.' ! 24 and if he can reproduce his Cambridge form, will be a Muhvaree .... 24 hard problem. Logan Rothschild has made friends Henry Logan' !11 lately by the manner he has been working, while Luvan 86 Rockaway is in great buckle. Mulwaree is always Respect .... 36 worthy of careful consideration, and Van Rich should D Morning 38 be at bome in tbis company. Luvan is brilliant and Master Co’un- may account for those in front of her, while there is Wo'odvaie' ’ ’ ’ nothing behind her, except perhaps The Shrew, that The Shrew "' ' 48 can make her hurry. The popular elect mav be: Lord Nepean' 1 60 LUVAN, MULWAREE AND ROAMER

CORNWALL HANDICAP Of 500sovs; one mile; 2.14 limit Pimii Me- Here is a field of eighteen high-grade sprinters, Kelson 6 TasVer Lt." half of whom are favoured on the end of the handicap. BmSna' '. Lt. ° aCe a “ ain U would seem sound policy to look for a Jean Darling ! Lt! smart beginner in this section, and Final McKinney Gland?re h .' "' Lt looks like fllling the biu in this respect. She is a Lady Dunmore Lt. great filly, and whatever beats ,1. McLennan will get Key Logan .. . Lt. the purse. Nantwich and Key Logan, also from the All Bell yds ; b i2 South are a speedy brace of sprinters and will have Jewel Pointer . 12 be seriously considered. Auckland is well repreHolly Boy ... 12 sented by Nelson Tasker, Dick Dilion, Glandore and Harofd 0 Kms ' l2 Jean Darling - and the latter will give the most cheek to Thorpe .... 24 ‘hr visitors. All Bell will run an honest race, and Beil Harold . . 24 Jewel Pointer must have a good show at this distance. Nelson Fame" ! 4s Harold Thorpe has been a consistent winner during the Peter Bingen 4S last few months and cannot be overlooked, while Bell Harold is a top-*otcher over this journey. Imprint is in a handy position and Peter Bingen will be knocking at the fiinish. Nelson Fame is such a brilliant customer he is apt to go anything on the day, and if his two-mile essay does ljot effect his sprinting qualities. August’s charge will give those in front of him the shock of their lives. Final totalisator figures may be in favour of: FINAL- McKINNEY, JEAN DARLING and BELL HAROLD
