TE RAPA GALLOPS

TOSH HITS OUT FIVE FURLONGS IN 1.1 1-5 RACECAMP’S GOOD ROUND (By ((Martian”) The going was in excellent order 60ft. out from the rails on the course proper at Te Rapa this morning while that on the No. 1 grass, which was open for horses engaged on the Taranaki circuit, was also in good condition and conducive to fast work. The best efforts of the morning were those of Ngawiri and Orwere over five furlongs and Racecamp over a round while on the inner grass Tosh drew attention to his holiday prospects by running five furlongs in 1.1 1-5. A thick fog delayed operations but when it cleared conditions generally were pleasant. On the course proper, Poland (Ramsay) and Mio Fratollo (Ensor) were associated over a round, running their first half-mile in 54s and the full distance in 2.5. Both were travelling well within themselves throughout and were sticking on in solid style over the concluding stages. The two-year-old Marshall Hall (McKenzie) brushed over three furlongs along the back in 365. He is coming to hand well. A Useful Effort Beau Repaire (Hall), assisted over the first seven furlongs by Foxsen and Meadow (Gilmer) in 1.32, and joined by Olympus (McKenzie) at the three furlong peg, ran once round in 2.4, the last seven furlongs occupying 1.27. Foxsen is bearing a healthy appearance while both Beau Repaire and Olympus are in forward condition for holiday engagements. Wyndora (Ensor) and Starbright (Gollop) were associated over six furlongs in 1.19, a useful effort for horses of their class. Wyndora appears to have benefited from racing at Te Awamutu and may soon make amends for recent disappointments. Sunny Downs and Mio Generale ran six furlongs in 1.21. A solid effort over a round was credited to Racecamp (Gollop), who finished clear of Mio Lume (Winder) at the completion of a round in 2.3. Racecamp, who wil be racing at New Plymouth next week, is in great order for engagements ahead and may soon make amends for his narrow defea: at the recent Waipa meeting. The best effort of the morning on the course proper was that of the improving Ngawiri (Ensor), who was shading Orwere (McKenzie) at the completion of five furlongs in 1.4 3-5, the first half-mile in 51 l-ss. Ngawiri and Orwere are both in good fettle for holiday engagements and the former should not be long in reopening her winning account. Raceline (Meynell) ran three furlongs, from the three to the six in 38s Tosh’s Fast Five On teh No. 1 grass Tosh (Thomson) hit out brilliantly over six furlongs in 1.1 1-5. He is in forward condition for racing at New Plymouth where on the first day he is to contest the Flying Handicap. Bronze Step (Thomson), assisted over the last half-mile by Herbage (O. Mclnally), traversed seven furlongs in 1.30. Bronze Step has made good progress of late and it will not be on the score of condition if she fails to show to advantage on the Taranaki circuit. Aintree (Muir) gave a dashing display over four hurdles while Flashing Spear (Amunsden) in a similar essay shaped well for a novice at the game. W. M. Thomson has been engaged to ride Beverley, Gay Miss and Paint at Ellerslie.

Without doing their best at any part or It, Catalogue and Beaupartlr were time! to run a mile in 1.47. The last six rurlongs took 1.19 3-5 and the final hairmlle 53 3-ss. They finished together and had something in reserve. Catalogue, in particular, did his work in fine style. The best half-mile of the morning was that or (jueen City and Te Kawitl, w'ho finished in Tront or Jack Tar In 49 3-ss.
