TURAKI WELL WORTH WATCHING

(B;

"The Cynic.”)

Turaki, who showed greatly improved form when he finished second to Half and Half at the Southland meeting last month, has gone on the right way at Riverton, and his form at Wingatui will be followed with more than ordinary interest. The first day he is engaged in the Trial Handicap and the second day over 10| furlongs, a distance likely to suit him. As a three-year-old last season, the Balboa gelding was taken along quietly, and he appears all the better for this treatment. His dam, Divinial, was by Saxby from Divinia, by Sylvia Park from Mongonui, by Carbine.

High-priced Filly. A filly which has attracted much attention since she began racing this term is Millament, who ran third to Submission and Lutanist at Woodville on Saturday. She was the highestpriced youngster at the last national sales, being bought by Mr T. H. Lowry for £ll5O. She is trained by Mrs A. W. McDonald at Awapuni. She is a brown daughter of Beau Pere and the Thespian—Drax mare Drama, a half-sister to Spiral, and is related to Lynch Law, Severe and Mandamus.
