A FORLORN HOPE
the scratching of Enawah has robbed the Derby of its inter-Island interest, the classic will still provide an exciting and interesting contest. North Island enthusiasts were prepared to see the bonny Gisborne filly head off the strong Southern contingent, and she was looked upon as the North Island hope. With her withdrawal, it looks as if the Auckland-owned, Can-terbury-trained filly, Nella Dillon will be the big "smoke" for Northerners. Of the Aucklandtrained representation, Free Advice has shown the most promise, but few, if any, would be prepared to see her beat such seasoned and experienced youngsters as Daphne de Ora. Harvest Child, Donard, Vestas or Don Derby. It appears a forlorn hope.
