On the Upgrade Lady Vixen has indicated by the recent quality of her work tlial she i = steadilv on the upgrade and will lack little on the score or condition when called upon to race. At Ellersdie the other morning she ran live furlongs in 1.2 3-5. Landvcyor Landveyor shaped well when he boa I all but Night Pilot over nine furlongs at Pukekohe and he would need only to showslight improvement to take a lot of beating in tiie six-furlong Koinata Hack at Paeroa, in which he is not over-burdened with B.T. Bronze Bird Bronze Bird, who won on either day oi the Rotorua meeting but later failed to make much impression at tlie Pukekohe meeting, has been hitting out solidly in her tasks at Te Rapa and she promises to strip lit and well for racing at Paeroa over the week-end. Her six furlongs In 1.18 the other morning was a creditable effort. A Game Mare Foxsen is not a big mare but what there Is of her Is ail quality and her recent form suggests good prospects lor her in the big race at Paeroa on Saturday. She will have to give or her best with 8.1-2, or course, but she is a genuine mare who will be battling on when a number of others are commencing to leel the pinch. Loch Acre J.ocJi Acre has been moving along freely in his preparation and he will lack little on the scare or condition Tor racing a.t the Paeroa fixture tills week-end. After winning well over ■six rurlongs on the llrst day at Te Aroha he was finishing on over seven the following day and has since Indicated by the quality or Ills track work that he has taken no harm from those exertions. Brazen Bold When Brazen Bold won the open -sprint at Pukekohe he vva-s having his flr.-t up for a considerable spell and. allowing for the improvement that race must have effected In him, he appeals as being hard to beat among the sprinters at Paeroa, where on the llrst day he ha- been elevated to 8.0, an Impost that should not prove a bar to rurther achievement. May Improve Mayfair, who Is now trained by A. Tinker. at Pukekohe, for Messrs L. i. and M. IT. Otway, was in need or racing when she contested the Buckland Hack at tiie Pukekohe meeting on the llrst of the month and as she should have benelited from the outing she may be seen to better advantage soon. On Saturday she is down to contest the Koinata Hack at Paeroa. Prospects of Cappy I Cappy, who now races In the interests o-r Mrs M. Williams at Te Rapa, won the Tarata Hurdles at New- Plymouth during the holiday racing and at lii-s last appearance put up an encouraging performance to beat all but Master Appellant and Lapidanan in the Puni Hurdles at Pukekohe. the other week. lie may he seen to advantage among the hurdlers at Paeroa this week-end. Hunto’s Prospects Hunto showed marked improvement when he won the concluding event or seven furlongs on the latter day at Te ! Aroha and a repetition of thaf form would I give him good prospects in the N'etherton Hack (nine furlongs) at Paeroa on Saturday. Sihce Te Arolia he has gone on the j rignt way in his preparation and on Tuesj day morning, in association with Foxsen, traversed a round of the course proper at Te Ilapa In 2x2. Peter Douglas When Peter Douglas won the Midsummer H'andJcap on New Year’s Day at Ellerslie he prevailed very -stylishly from a ! large field or two-year-olds and the per- | formartce draw attention to his future ; iinnn-rt', A line upsianding coll by tne : imported Ilazrat from \tapai he give* the j impression that he will carry weight ana i the bandJcapper’s estimate of 8.8 should ! not prove beyond Ills eapibiliiio**. May Make Amends i Chain Acre was unlucky to go under to Justina In the Waiuku Hack, of seven furlongs, at the recent Pukekohe meeting, and he will have an opportunity to make I amends in the N'etherton Hack (nine lurlongs) on opening day of tne Olitnemuri j meeting this week. On that occasion at I Pukekohe he was allowed to loaf at d ! vital stage and when the challenge oi Justina loomed he was kicked up again ; but too late to hold oir Justina, who yoi the decision by a head.
