ENGAGED AT OTAKI. Good reports are to hand from Awapuni concerning Trojan Jttelody, who is due to have his first outing this season at the Otaki meeting on October 7 and 8. The Hunting Song gelding only secored one win last season out of ten starts and his form was rather, .disappointing. Trojan Melody has plenty of speed, but lacks stamina, and will need to improve in order to pay his way during the current season.
