Tamerlane or Nourmahal At Addington on June 3 Tam.ri finished in front of Xourmahal i„ mile and a-half trot, both bei... ’ 48 yards. When the pair met on IJ* terms at Alexandra Park overall 5 ' miles, the gelding again had th. N vantage at the wire. Both are on 1 nd ot the twelve-furlong trot on 4T urday, and recent form would lead " the supposition that Tamerlane win £ in front of the Great Audubon nZ again. A Good Chance The Nelson Bingen trolling fUlv v tute, is a speedy customer and shon’l be quite at home in a mile and journey. The roan showed good form U*t «#, son and was second on seevral occa! sions in two mile heats, the flu' Pinch finding her out. Brvce’s is well placed in the Introductory Ha? | dicup on Saturdav. Bridget Quite Well i Bridget Galindo will be all the race on Saturday in the mile and t-bai trot. The aged daughter of Mavourneen is very forward, and as I she is endowed with a fine turn of speed must be given a royal chance of giving driver Tqmkinson an early on the list of winning horsemen. Getting Cheeky Again The Petereta gelding, Count D* winner of the Yaldhurst Handicap at Addington on the King’s working in approved style at hetc. quarters. When wound up this tn». ter is more than useful, and although he is not engaged on the opening dr of the national fixture, will keep tfc others busy if started on the niipi or concluding day. Still Going Strong Those who considered the old Charlie McKinney trotter, Nighborn, a btek number found at Canterbury Park in June that the chestnut was stilt awake, and the genuine manner in which he silenced the opposition in th: two-mile trot gave the irnpresskr there is more money awaiting the exWest Coaster. He will take his place among the heads in the Stewards’Handicap to-morrow. Promising Pacers Ariki. a son of Cathedral Chimes.» M. B. Edwards’s stable, showed gooc form when he won the Peninsula Handicap at Addington in June. He is a promising pacer, and claims an engagement in the Trial Handicap tomorrow. Ariki is one that will see eat a solid two-mile journey. A Tough Customer Huon Denver won the two-mile Lyttelton Plate at the Canterbury Park winter fixture in hollow fashion, revelling in the heavy going. If the grey son of Denver Huon is in the same frame of mind to-morrow he will gnGreat Earl. Logan Park and Co. a kof trouble in the Trial Handicap. High Class Pacer Great Earl created a very favouribk impression when he strolled heme at the head of a big field at Addingtoc in June. That it was no fluke, the Gre-2 Audubon gelding proved two we?k= later at Alexandra Park, where he won the Hobson Handicap with comparative ease. He failed in the Adams Memory Cup, but the conditions were bad. Th chestnut will be a starter in the Trial Handicap to-morrow. Will She Repeat It?
