Otahuhu Trotting Fixture MORE STIRRING CONTESTS PROMISED THE Otahuhu Trotting Club’s summer carnival will reach finality at Alexandra Park to-morrow, when another j card of interesting items will be presented. With one exception, the fields are good and high-class racing with thrillingfinishes are promised the large number of enthusiasts who will again be present. A review of the card by “Abaydos” is appended. 1 I it: SUBURBAN HANDICAP Of £300; 2 miles; 5.0 limit Great Way . . Lt After their showing on Saturday those of the front Black Magic . Lt lot that started in the Trial Handicap cannot be taken Ben Bingen . . Lt seriously, while the newcomer Elego will require a race, t iphad’e "it so Don Zolock looks the pick of the limit brigade. Don Zolock . . Lt Tamahine will have friends and should make a bold yds.bhd. showing. Lord Roberts may be improved by his race, Tamahine ... 12 and Dipnoi is a good stayer, and will be finishing on Lord Roberts . 36 over the last bit. Roez is one of the unreliable kind. **? ez 4S but Koro Peter will have a better chance over the extra Koro°Peter ’ 96 ground. Billy Carbine was never better, and if he can Riiiv cnrhinp ms get to the end °f the distance will be one of the toughest. Anseline . . . 132 Anseline is a real two-mile trotter and will be putting Etta Cole . . . 144 them in at the right end, while Etta Cole is such a .brilliant, solid mare that she must be kept on side. If ETTA COLE is a bsent the favourites will be: DIPNOI and BILLY CARBINE 1 ? QA NEWMARKET HANDICAP Of £300; 1; miles; 3.30 limit Rose Marie . . Lt The majority are off the front so Maid of the Rolfe that again the draw will have its Mountain . . Lt j Audubon ... Lt effect, while good beginners will be Trustworthy. Lt Red Star ... Lt looked for. Rolfe Audubon did not Dad’s Hope 3 * Lt Lady start on Saturday, but if stripped for c yds. bhd. Barrington . . Lt the fray to-morrow will have friends. Tony Victor . 12 Koniniwood . . Lt Bose Marie went well enough on Concertina ... 12 Nelson Dillon . Lt the opening day to have a chance, Nelson and Nelson Dillon may make McCormack . 60 amends for past failures. Trustworthy will be one of the public fancies, while Admiral Lock should go well. Dad’s Hope, if in th§ humour, is a possibility. Tory Victor will have every chance in this class and Concertina, if in tune, will keep all hands busy, while Nelson McCormack will probably find the distance too far. The public may support: ROLFE AUDUBON and ROSE MARIE 117 SYLVIA PARK HANDICAP (Saddle) Of £350; 1 mile; 2.16 limit Jtockaway . . . T.t Rockaway anti Dick Dillon should yds. bhcl Master Huia . Lt be held safe by Master lluia, who is Laplander ... 12 Halgana .... Lt more than useful with the weight Stanmoor ... 12 Warplane ... Lt on top. The Shaw bracket Hal- Anselm 12 Dick Dillon . . Lt Slana and Warplane will be in strong i°?- Blra •• • • Uncle Bert . . Lt demand, and the latter should go a Lady Dunmore 36 merry mile. Uncle Bert has no for complaint, and he is at home in saddle, and will be a tough nut to , Laplander would only require to put his best effort forward to beat the band, while Stanmoor can also go fast if in the right mood. Anselm will beat more than beat him and then there is Joy Bird, whose showing on Saturday was not up to her usual good form, Goldman does not appear to be at -ns best, but Lady Dunmore is one that no risks can be taken with The public may go for: SHAW’S BRACKET and UNCLE BERT 212 DOMINION HANDICAP Of £1,000; 2 miles; 4.32 limit Harvest Child Lt With the handy held of ten, the big race will be a good Jean McElwyu 12 one ,rom a speculative and spectacular point of view. Dundas Boy . . 12 Harvest Child has the front to himself and he will give Glideaway . . 36 those behind him something to do before the box is The Abbey . . 36 reached. R. Berry’s bracket, Jean McElwyn and Dundas Mnti P • yds bl ) d Boy wUI be ln keen demand and both will run solidly. Loch Moigh 1 36 hideaway won nicely on Saturday and off her present . The Shrew .* * sc mark has still a royal show, and should beat the rest Machine Gun ! IS on tlle 4.29 Peg. The Abbey is not dependable at the Quality .... 60 start, and Native Prince and The Shrew have hard tasks. Loch Moigh’s finish in the Myers Handicap will entitle him to respect, but he would probably do better in the shorter race. Machine Gun did not get a go on Saturday, but he is in fine form, and sure to make a bold bid, while Quality is a genuine two-miler. Favourites will be; BERRY’S BRACKET and GLIDEAWAY 9 SS ALEXANDRA HANDICAP Of £450; 2 miles; 4.40 limit Mutu ..... Lt Gold Sovereign is a newcomer on Raima 12 G ° ld . the front and he will probably beat H ' Sovereign .. . Lt ~ , , , Happy Rosa . . 36 The Tartar . . Lt Mutu and Tradesman, but if in the Rose Bingen . 48 Tradesman . . Lt mood The Tartar will be hard to Betty Moko . . 48 yds bhd dispose of. Tonic on his first day’s Napland .... 60 Tonic 12 showing will take a power of beat- v.vtrSai,,; " ' ll . . . „ i'iS and with Happy Rosa brack- halve ... 73 Ule Tomk i" son stable will have a good run for their money. Raima did not «et going m the early stages on the first day, hut was finishing r-? Yl e end and lf h ® kicks off on the right foot will be a nuisance. Great nt ?° WeU Y hen he won the President’s Handicap, he must again hold F? od prospects, particularly if he hops away correctly. Of those further ba.ck llefty Moko will be a fresh one, but Napland’s form is consistent and he will go for-— ° St difflcult for those at the front to beat. However, the public TOMKINSON’S BRACKET and RAIMA 3 40 RICHMOND HANDICAP Of £350; 2 miles; 4.36 limit irncisY,',.; ' ‘ B Tllis is t!le smallest field of the day, and if Medusa Glandofe ' ' Lt L®, asrain withdrawn there will only be one dividend. yds’ bhcl Should she go to the post, however, the Epsom mare will Tiger Salve . . 12 have plenty of friends. Uncle Bert will go a good race, Gold Dial ... 12 hut Tiger Salve is such a solid trotter he will be the Laplander ... 36 hardest to dispose of. Gold Dial has to go away to make . , _ it a snappy race, while Laplander does not look to be in form. Elect of backers will probably be: MEDUSA and TIGER SALVE 4 COATES HANDICAP Of £500; U miles; limit Lt This will be a great test among the speed kings, and Lady Dunmore Lt the race is full of possibilities. Harvest Child reads best Dillon Huon dS b *io ° f the front lot ’ but three with fine prospects just behind Nelson Tasker 12 the front line are Dillon Huon, Nelson Tasker and Loch The Shrew ... 12 Moigh. The finish of the latter on Saturday was brilMachine Gun . 12 , , .. All Bell .... 12 bant and if reserved for this go he would be very tough. Loch Moigh . . 12 Nelson Tasker is sure to run well at the distance, and The Abbey ... 24 Dillon Huon if he goes right is a speedy customer. Glideaway ... 24 Berry’s bracket, Dundas Boy and Jean McElwyn will be Dundas well fancied and so will Tomkinson’s pair, Glideaway and Sve Prince 1 48 Logan Park. The big race may throw some light on Logan Park . . 60 this contest, but if reserved LOCH MOIGH will be dangerous. The final showing may favour: TOMKINSON’S BRACKET and NELSON TASKER C 1 7 FAREWELL HANDICAP Of £300; IX miles; 2.514 limit Tony Victor . . Lt Another nice field will contest this Dick Dillon . . 12 Happy Rosa .. Lt heat and on the front is Tony Vic- Warplane *9 Rose Marie . . Lt tor, Rose Marie and Curfew Boy, Stanmoor ... 24 Curfew Boy . . Lt all of whom can go quick over the Anselm .... 24 w . . yds khd distance. Wrackler is a real good Chimes . . 36 Fiorent .Ii il2 ?**!*£? e fl should l ac J. ount for «f_ e McCormack .36 Halgana .... 12 front lot and several others as well. Daytime 36 The Warplane-Halgana bracket will not be friendless, and Rockburn will have admirers after his display on Saturday. Van Rich is in splendid buckle and his consistency is worth a iO'. Stanmoor and Anselm are a likely pair, while Hal Chimes is speedy when on the journey. Nelson McCormack and Daytime will be handy when it comes to the end, but favourites will be: WRACKLER and VAN RICH.
