The Second Leg

Strong Field Carded Kopu Handicap HANDICAPPER’S PROBLEM Son smart performers art listed in the Kopu Handicap which claims to be “the other leg,” and is run over a 10-furlonj course. Good two-milere right at home over this journey, while there are several engaged who prefer this distance to the longer one. THIRTY-FOUR horses have bee handicapped for this interesa* heat, with 12 off the front. Ob recent form Hohoro should hold theber prospects of this lot, but it.must »e be forgotten that Red Star is a soar beginner and that is a good asset c such a contest. Rua Pere is anofce that can scamper over this jourae* and may give a lot of bother to the* behind him. Admiral Lock is shoving a return to form, and with Rmmai on the 12 yards should add iat«rest to the event. Bingen King (SfjJ will have a lot of friends, and so ri j Mars on the same peg. Th® latte g will only require to be right to hm| a fine chance of scuttling the < _ tion. Of the 36yds brigade, Tffir| Victor and Tamerlane will find favour, and both are capable of ft Hi effort over this course. The cocsh-1 tent Mulwaree figures on this should be in the picture. Tail**! Lady Joan, Gold Jacket and Van®*?’ are on 48, and a nice quartet tiff 4 are. If Lady Joan was OK it writ;be good-night, but there !■ still » doubt about it. Gold Jacket hsadu speed, but requires everything in &

ivour. Taipare won laudelands, and Van Rich srta . ut a clinking 10 furlong*- *** ’epc-an (60) is a solid custom** ative Prince would be th® P K * lose on the 72yds mark. There is certain to be a i nee, and back-markers will n* n easy row to hoe. Half a dO*®P' ossibilities are Mars, Tony . amerlane, Bingen King, Van - nd the Sim kin bracket.
