TROTTING

(CONTINUED.)

FORBURY PARK CARD REMAINING EVENTS good chances for pacers plums for square-gaiters The remaining items on the Forbury card, which include three events for square-gaiters, have filled remarkably well and, judging by the class engaged, should ensure interesting sport and produce some thrilling finishes. The handicapper has again set followers of the pastime some stupendous problems. rpHE improving class of pacers, of A which there is no scarcity nowadays, will have an opportunity of showing their ability in the DOMAIN HANDICAP Of £220; 1 mile 5 fur.

Rose M&rie stayed out 12 furlongs all right at Hutt Park, and will be one of the toughest nuts to crax:k. Guide Rangi 15 showing improvement, and Author and John Appeal are possibilities. Sunfish will find plenty of sup-

port, and Drake is overdue. Dick Logan has threatened to win in this qlass. and Petronius is one that promises to reach higher society. Florrie Pointer has been consistent lately, and Great Triumph, although penalised, should make things interesting. The public may want ROSE MAR!E, FLORRIE POINTER, PETRONIUS. Those who prefer to carry the weight on top will have their turn in the BEACH HANDICAP Of £250; 1 mile. Marinca .... Lt Lucky Dillon . . 12 La Sonnette . .

Liberal is another from “down yonder” that is expected to do big things, while Lenamhor may bob up at any time. Sungleam is nice and handy and due to break the ice, while Logan King is now returning to his best form. Caprice is speedy and Lochree delights in saddle work. Queen’s General, Kate Thorpe and Panto are a solid trio, while Mountain Chimes, if dressed in his best, would keep them all busy. SUNGLEAM, KATE THORPE, MARINCA may find most favour. Thej*e will be another big field face the starter in the RENOWN HANDICAP Of £260; 1 mile 5 fur. gluinp .... Lt Wild Flight . . 24 Denver’s Doll .

Exclusive, Sunstorm, John Dee and Denver's Doll are off the front, and the latter may hold the rest safe, and the filly will give those behind her something to do. Royal Authoress, Logan King and White Sun are , a useful trio, and any of them may get a share of the prize money. Kreisler only wants to go off right to be a nuisance, while nelson McElwyn appears to be “coming back,” and must be in the picture. Neerson won the Nelson Cup in good style, and Wenlo will find the distance to his liking. Revolt and Shadowland have form to recommend them,

while the back-marker. Jolly Pet, will JOLLY DENVER'S DOLL and jully PET may dispute favouritism. AMONG THE TROTTERS - first of the three heats set aside :8 r . the Phre-gaited fraternity is one that encourages the novices and improvers to take part, and it lias drawn a large field. This is the BAYFIELD HANDICAP Of £200; 1 mile 5 fur. Zt HawkeW 36 * Dummy Pride ..... 2i „ • Lt Kitty Patch 36 5-?* Bingen • - L<t V r ee Patch . * 48 Ette Bells . . Lt Jade 4§ Tot Logan . .

Jock Bingen may do better than a lot of other front-rankers, but the Stakes candidate, Ette Bells, will probably

settle most of those on this mark. Wattle Patch is due for a turn up, and Hawkesbury Pride should be at home in this field, Kitty Patch seldom missed a place on the West Coast, and if she reproduces this form will be on hand. Jade has a royal show, and so has Commander Bingen, if she is back to her best. Of the others, Toheroa will go a solid race, and backers may prefer to select TOHEROA, KITTY PATCH, ETTE BELLS. Square-gaiters in the second degree are afforded an opportunity to distinguish themselves in the INNOVATION HANDICAP Of £250; 2 miles. Jade ...... Lt Burnie .... 48 Secret Link . . Lt Katute .... 60 Peter Boy . . Lt Merry Bingen . 72 - Queen . . 72 Bon Wood ... 12 Swiftbine ... 96 Avalanche ... 24 Len AVood . . . 120 Kerwood Bell . 24 On the front is Secret Link, who has a couple of victories in Southland to her credit this year, while Peter Boy is one that may roll home any day. Jade is also an awkward customer and Avalanche and Kerwood Bell are entitled to more than passing notice. If Burnie strikes form the others will know they are at the races, and then there is Sea Queen and Swiftbine, both of whom have been in the money re-

cently, and Len Wood with winning form to recommend him. Of the lot the public may select SEA QUEEN, AVALANCHE, PETER BOY. The third heat for those who are partial to the untrammelled and unhoppled business is for those of higher standard and pretensions to class, and they will meet in the ST. CLAIR HANDICAP Of £320; 2 miles. Swiftbine . . . Lt Bpnny Spec . . 60 Proud Ata ... Lt Cannonball . . 72 yds bhd Engagement . . 84 Audobell .... 12 Elzear 108 Real the Great 12 Moneyspider . . 120 Petroleuse . . 24 Trampfast . . 132 Blue Thorpe . . 36 Swiftbine and Proud Ata are on the end, but may find Audobell and Real the Great troublesome, while Petroleuse, if the going is to her fancy, should account for all those ahead of her, and a good few of those behind. Blue

Thorpe is partial to Forbury, and will be a nuisance to the opposition, while Cannonball is always one to keep in with. Engagement has put up some splendid performances at Dunedin and Elzear showed a return to her best when she chased Native Star home recently at Addington. Then Money Spider and Trampfast are high-class trotters and sure to be in the picture if started. Backers will have a good range, but may prefer PETROLEUSE, ELZEAR and ENGAGEMENT.
