Parawai Pointers

Eleawah is a promising young Peterwah. and she should be equal to making a. good display in the novice heat. Prince Pedro is a youngster that .T. J. Ivennerley brought from the South when he settled at To Awamutu. It is worth something to know that J.J.K. held a good opinion of the pacer. Oliver Thorpe has yet to earn a winning certificate. He is on the improve and should soon break the ice. Rosie Thorpe has never won a race, but she has several placed performances to her credit. Surely she will take out soon. First, second and two thirds in his last four starts is the record of Inverness. If there is anything better in the novice heat it will to find. Dealer is the real stayer of the slow two-mile field, and that should be good enough for Hie small punters. Marionette is a long time getting the thick end of a purse. She is a Gold

Bell and may bo capable of. going a journey, although her best efforts have been over shorter routes.

Some Dillon has any amount of speed, and if he can get the extra half mile, will make the Kerepeehi handicap full of interest.

There will be no doubt about. Paradigm going two miles, and if he can go with the pacers in the early stages they will find him a pest at the- finish.

Haro to should be able to stay a journey, but he lias had an interrupted preparation for several months past.

Gold Sound must know every inch of the Thames track by now. Last year the old grey gave a lot of cheek at the finish of a race and may repeat it again.

Black Magic made such a good showing at To Arolia after losing a whole heap of ground, that there will be a rush to be with him at Thames tomorrow.

Kopu Boy was in the Te Aroha picture for quite a long way, hut the frame gave way before the finish. It will be of stronger material next time though.

A good sort of trotter is Joy Ride, j and if any improvement has been ef- j fectod since his January outing, lus : driver should have a cosy drive.

Nebraska has been on the improve this season and he will have a good chance of repaying his connections for ! their trouble tomorrow.

Gaza has run so prominently for a mile in his various starts that his turn looks to be at hand in the mile saddle at Thames.

A great beginner is Nathaniel and with W. Willetts on deck tho Our Thorpe gelding will be cheeky in the Puriri Handicap.

Delavan Bill has never carried so much condition in his life and he will have every assistance from Sid August in the saddle race. If he wins he should pay a thumper.

Realty is a consistent performer with the weight on top. If he was a sound horse he would be out of the present company long ago. T. Grimmoncl’s pacer may be good enough to beat the opposition in any case.

Zealous ran a good race over a mi nd a-half at Hastings to be beaten t

Little Guy, a real good one. This form ; ( should stand to Thames. Mv Thorp® no champion, but with the assistance of J. T. Paul, he should i go very close to paying a dividend to- j morrow. m * Gold Treasure is a peculiar pacer but he is full of possibilities. under A. J Julian’s care lie should do well, and he threatens to be a cheeky proposition. # * Parrish Belle’s performances to date speak volumes. The three-year-old. however, will tomorrow meet better society and she should be severely tested' in the two-mile trot. t o rd Haldane disgraced himself by refusing to trot at the Otahuhu meeting Give him a proper get-away and i C G. Lee's horse will show what hot- j ! ting really is. „ . Trustworthy ran a great race when < She led into the straight on the final > ! dav of the Otahuhu meeting. fane j | tired at end of 10 furlongs, but will do j j better tomorrow. „ j Benefice is an improved mare, and j; I she appears to go solid for J. T. Paul, j

! in the Kopu Handicap Rev dc Oro’s - I Richore is a speedy customer, but ; does not always reproduce his best ' lio claims two engagements at Thames ; and if escaping a penalty in the Cup ] will be a nuisance to the opposition in the 10-furlong heat. Peter Pirate is a real game horse, as was shown at Te Aroha. He should have a royal show in the Thames Cup Umosa is better than many think and if she is stripped in good orde tomorrow will be worthy of attention. Te "Wahia is looked upon as a sprinter, but he was over two miles a t Hawera last year. He hails from a solid stable, where many surprise winners have been produced. Tlal Chimes is always threatening to : win a race and his finishing effort in the Aroha < !up suggests he will l- - I one of the dangerous lot .tomorrow. i Tony Victor ran second to Rockburn jin last year’s big race, and went one better in "the 10-furlong heat. Ton> ; recently showed good form and he will play a prominent part again. "Warplane claims an engagement in the Thames Cup and he is working m \ a manner that indicates he will be j handy at the business end. If anything beats the more-fancied division it may | be J. Shaw's pacer. CAMBRIDGE TROTTING CLUB CARD FOR MAY 3 j The Cambridge Trotting Club is j again to the fore with a most attractive card for its annual fixture on May 15. with increased. stakes valued at ! £1,305. 1 The chief event is the Cambridge i Cup, of £4OO, 4.40 limit, while lor I horses of this calibre there is the Farej well Handicap, of £155, 2.54 limit, i The distance of the saddle race has been reduced to one mile, with the useful limit of 2.20, and novice and improving pacers are given a good chance in three heats.
