NEW SEASON OPENS

FINE FIELDS ENGAGED PROSPECTS UNDER REVIEW (By “Padlock”) Fine fields are carded for the Auckland Trotting Club’s August meeting at Alexandra Park, Epsom, tomorrow, the meeting marking the opening of the 1940-41 season in the Auckland Province. The big race, the August Handicap, has attracted fourteen starters and the sprint, the Massey Memorial, thirteen. Following are the fields with a review of the prospects:— 11.30

The field bears a very open aspect, the large number of novice trotters on the limit confusing the issue to a large extent. Golden Journey shaped well at Claudelands last season and Silver Countess * has also displayed a useful turn of speed in public. Port Chalmers is a likely improver with a chance, and Rara Avis, Tenacity and Car Bi'ngen should add interest to the issue. Peter Harvester and Axworthy Star both won at Wanganui in January and they should account for more than beat them. The consistent Gold Kip, too, cannot be lightly discarded in a race' in which the elect of investors may be— AXWORTHY STAR PETER HARVESTER GOLD KIP 12.15 MOUNT EDEN HANDICAP or £210; limit 3.5; li miles

Village Maid, Escobar and Mitaya have all earned place money and the latest track essays of Blushworthy indicate that she is on the upgrade. Northern Smile is handily placed on 12yds and should give a forward account of himself, while Davey Day, who did not race last season, will have to be taken on trust. Katoomba is a likely type who has been shaping well on the tracks and indications are favouritism may be divided among NORTHERN SMILE VILLAGE MAID KATOOMBA 1.0 SECOND DIVISION

FLY ACROSS—CLOVERDALE—RAMA DIRECT bracket WHANAKO NEUTRALITY

Fortex, Kewpie’s Triumph and Nawton Parrish, off the front, are all capable of running out a solid two miles when attuned but indications are Bold Venture and Hillcrest will be preferred on the form they showed in May. Hillcrest’s form was outstanding and as he has been working attractively he is assured of a firm following tomorrow. Mollie Direct, too, has good credentials, and is one of the early ruling favourites for the event. Equipoise is fit and well and Nawton Parrish appears to be regaining form. Our McKinney worked well yesterday and in the event of the going being heavy his prospects will be enhanced. Parauri and Three Bells will add to the interest of a race in which the public may place most reliance on the credentials of— HILLCREST MOLLIE DIRECT BOLD VENTURE 2.30

Auto Lad. Whanako and Sta*’ Guide are likely improvers who should be dangerous off the front. Kinawley, too, is speedy and will only have to go away correctly to make his presence felt. Bingen’s Best and Northern Smile have been working well as also has Alcazar, who is not without prospects of springing a surprise. Taimaiti is well and Sweet Aloes and Royal Palm appeal most of the others. There should be solid support forthcoming for— WHANAKO STAR GUIDE TAIMAITI

Margin ... 48 Modem Lady Lt. Vain Lad ... 48 Air Pilot has been racing consistently and is a solid trotter assured of support. Audrey’s Last won well at Palmerston North and Dick Redmond may improve. Glen Bingen is a fit horse and has been working well, and Modern Lady is entitled to respect. If successful earlier, Peter Harvest will command a following, while Bon Haven, Margin and Vain Lad will all have their measure of support. The figures may favour— AUDREY’S LAST AIR PILOT DICK REDMOND 4.0 ORAKEI HANDICAP

There are a number here that have performed well at the distance. Katene has good credentials and shaped well at Claudelands yesterday morning. Bonnidene was a good filly last season and should stay the distance, while on the way she worked at Claudelands yesterday, Derby Lu, should make her presence felt. Petite Jewel and Clay Pot have prospects and Young Pointer is a likely improver who should go a solid two miles. Stargum was twice placed in May and Tangaroa is also worthy of consideration in a race in which the prime fancies may be— DERBY LU CLAY POT STARGUM 4.50 MASSEY MEMORIAL HANDICAP

Belfast Jack worked well yesterday and provided he leaves the mark he may be hard to beat. However, he has proved unreliable in recent essays. Kewpie’s Queen and Narbada are useful and Kitty’s Choice and Princess Linnett are a speedy pair on the upgrade. Tinker raced consistently but unluckily last season and Ace High if back to his best, will take a hand in the finish. Munga Tangi has been working stylishly and the consistent Bronze Queen will be assured of a strong following in a good betting pool in which the elect of investors may be— BRONZE QUEEN BELFAST JACK TINKER
