Epsom Spring Finals

Another Interesting Card KEEN CONTESTS ANTICIPATED ANOTHER fine programme of light-harness events will be submitted at Alexandra Park to-morrow, when there promises to be a repetition of the excellent and exciting sport witnessed yesterday. Good fields and keen racing will be prominent features of the card. GREEN LANE TROT HANDICAP Of £3OO ; 3.42 limit; 11 miles Lonesome ... a Ten colour the card in the opening event, and Loneyds. Mid. some off the front, will command a lot of respect. Etta Golden Gate . . 24 Cole has gone back 36yds for her win yesterday, but she Etta Cole ... 36 should throw out danger signals again and Kolmar Gold star ... 4s cannot be overlooked, and Bright Light should be KnnTlli'ncen ' 4S improved by his race. Gold Sovereign put In such a Bright Light ." 60 good run yesterday that he will not lack support, and Gold Sovereign 72 Anseline and Sebisca will put up a good tight. LoneAnseline .... "2 some, Etta Cole, Bright Light and Gold Sovereign should Sebisca .... 72 be well supported with favouritism leaning toward: ETTA COLE and BRIGHT LIGHT NEWMARKET HANDICAP Of £300; 3.28 i limit; 1J miles Abrudbanva . . Lt Of those on the end Cora Tacks yds. bhd. Cora Tacks . . Lt will give a lot of cheek and should • • • • J; Cornelian ... Lt be a n the better for her outing yes- ' Hohora .... Lt terday. Cornelian may do better Last 12 - N ’ ; ' df the and Nelson Dillon will improve with Great Peter . ! 24 Nel°son DrnoV Lt the run on the first day. Lapland- Goldman .it Peter Grattan Lt .er s form yesterday was Rood **• ; 4 yds. blid. enough to suggest his turn is close hockouto ... 06 Cute Lad ... 12 at hand, and what beats him should win. Joy Bird is a nice pacer and if ready will keep the rest busy. Great Peter can go a merry mile and a-haH, but may require a run to sharpen him up. Van Rich and Goldman showed fair form yesterday, but the public will probably rely on:— LAPLANDER and JOY BIRD ALEXANDRA HANDICAP Of £I,OOO ; 4.31 limit; 2 mites Billon Huon . Lt Eleven is the field in the big race and among tl>e Lady Dunmore Lt front lot is the trotter Young Blake, who may make it The Shrew . . Lt warm for the pacing brigade. Dillon Huon and The Young Blake . Lt Shrew are useful ones over the distance and Lady Tor-uiD AnHßhnn 1? Dunmore can foot it well. Jackie Audubon appeared Talent . 12 to be unlucky yesterday, and although penalised 12 yards. Loch Moigh . ! 24 he will have somethhig to say in the finish. Loch Moigh Western King 24 only needs to repeat his Spring Handicap performance Gold Jacket . . 86 to be a nuisance to the opposition, and the Western KingMachine Gun . 4S Jewel Pointer bracket will come in for a lot of support. Jewel Pointer . 84 The former was rather disappointing on the first day, but may do better after his racing. Gold Jacket is always a possibility, but the fina) order may be: JACKIE AUDUBON and LOCH MOIGH JUNCTION HANDICAP Of £4OO ; 4.37 limit; 2 miles Gold Dial . . Lt Although only seven appear on the list for this Harvest Child Lt event, it will be a difficult one for speculators to sort yds. bhd. o ut. Gold Dial will make her first appearance at the Nelson Tasker 1L meeting and if she goes away right, will let the others Taipare 1 °” ! 36 know they are at the races. Harvest Child did not Pageant . . 60 fulfil expectations yesterday and on that form can hardly Fight Ever . . 66 be taken seriously. Nelson Tasker made a bold showing in the mile and a-quarter yesterday .and as he ran some good two-mile contests last season will claim attention. Dick Dillon may not be ready for the long journey, but Taipare’s form is distinctly good and he must have a royal show. Pageant is a fine pacer with a great finish, and is always dangerous, while Fight Ever may do better than yesterday. When sorted out the public may decide for: TAIPARE and NELSON TASKER HILLSBOROUGH TROT HANDICAP Of £500; 4.40 limit; 2 mites Tradesman . . Lt A small field, but nevertheless the quality is good Great Change and there should be a stirring contest among the trotters. Tiger Salve* 3 24 Tradesman would have a chance if he stepped square all Maxegin .. ! ! 36 the wa Y> and Great Change would have a better. He Sister Beatrice 102 began well yesterday and only for one fault would have Young Blake . 114 been closer at the finish. Tiger Salve was the solid horse of the field and that factor gained him the race. He is a reliable customer. Maxegin did not impress on Monday and Sister Beatrice does not appear to be right. Young Blake will have a rosy chance, but he may prefer to tackle the big event earlier, and in his absence the public will want: GREAT CHANGE and TIGER SALVE CAMPBELL HANDICAP Of £500; 2.464 limit; 1J miles Lady Dunmore Lt Some speedy customers are engaged here and off the Native Prince Lt front Talent, All Bell and Lady Dunmore will begin quick * ’ * and set the others a merry dance. Native Prince, howAll Bell . . ever, will be going strong when the others are stopping, Jackie Audubon 24 and being bracketed with Jewel Pointer will came in for Kohara .... 24 a lot of support. If Jackie Audubon escapes a penalty Jewel Pointer 60 earlier in the day, he will be the toughest in the race, while Kohara’s dash in the Spring Handicap yesterday will find him favour in this heat. With Jackie Audubon out of the way the favourites may be: NATIVE PRINCE-JEWEL POINTER BRACKET and KOHARA REMUERA HANDICAP Of £350; 4.43 limit; 2 miles Dad’s Hope . . Lt An interesting field will face the starter in this slow Hinkler r6 !I Lt class two-mile event, and of the limit brigade The Abbey Ngatira .... Lt will receive attention. He has been working well, but Nelson Dillon Lt has not had a race this season. On his fine finishing w l6 ‘im 515 . 6 ' * ’ effort in the Derby Wrackler must be given a chance, as \\ rackler . IA he looked like staying on. Hinkler also shaped well Sunfish . . . . 12 tlie classic and Dad’s Hope may create a surprise. Firpo . . ! ! ! 24 Sunfish did not deliver the goods on Monday, but it Reremai . ... 48 is said he prefers a longer journey, so will have a chance Daytime ... 48 to redeem himself in this go. Firpo is not shaping well, but if Reremai is in shape she will make things interesting. Daytime went a solid go yesterday and the run will no doubt prove beneficial. When the adjustment is finally made the order may be: WRACKLER and THE ABBEY INSULATION HANDICAP Of £350; 1 X miles; 2.50 limit Dundas Boy . Lt There will be a good field in the final event, and a Luvan a ? :.* ! Lt good pool should result. Dundas Boy put up a credit-* Mulwaree . . . Lt able showing on the first day and gained many friends, 10 . .. Lt while Luvan, despite her failure will again be accorded yds. bhd. solid support. Free Advice won so brilliantly vesterday. Free Advice . . 12 it would be difficult to select anything to beat her, but wiittam P Z ' ' William the Great will probably show a bold front. PagGreat 12 eant W ? U be merr >' if reserved for this heat, while Taipare Pageant .* . ! 24 and Fight Ever will keep those in front pretty busy. Taipare . •_ 36 making a final selection the public will vote for: Fight Ever . . 60 FREE ADVICE and PAGEANT
