AMIGO A PROSPECT.

HORSES FOR TRENTHAM

PEKOE IS ON IMPROVE.

(Special to "Star."),

. WANGANUI, this day. Amigo has been kept in steadv work since racing at Wanganui, and should be ITn S fi°! " r, r tlle .Wellinßton meeting, lie li o uies ill the principal handicap dist.imc events as well as sprints. A race which should suit the Beau Pore "eldin" is the Whyte Handicap on the first daj° lhc curtailment of racing in Australia will probably upset the plans made bv Mr. , la !" fo1 ; another visit to Melbourne with Amigo, although nothing definite will be decided until the extent of the curtailment is known. Mr. G. M. Cnrrie has bestowed the name ?u S\\ ,r "? ,y T? n j b . a Spiral—Veil colt, and the n|'r by 1 usterity—lmpetuous has been named Premsmre. Roth these youngsters Jjavcton entered for the Wanganui Guineas

IX T. Marks intends taking lied Cat, Kuattti and Tuatara to Trenthrim The Hrst-named did not race at Wanganui. but rh«»re was nothing amiss with her. and she lias .cone on the right way since. Although she is not now so speedy off the mark as formerly, the Iliad mare is staving on netter ai.'l In races over seven furlongs or a mile she should do well. Ruatiti was soro on n |,ls ' n the Connolly Handicap and ran his race in patches, but never looked a winner. The long-striding son of Limoml should be seen to better advantage on the Trentham track, and will not wa-nt for r .-lends hi the Whyte Handicap. Tuatara Ins done well since winning at Wan.~j.nus. and the Lord Quex gelding should be worth watching in the hack sprint events.

Prior to going to Otakl. Pekoe schooled well over the hurdles, and Wanganui track watchers were not surprised at him running a creditable second. The Kiosk gelding Is ! engaged in the minor hurdle events at Trcntham. and lie is likelv to give a good account of himself, as he will be all the better for his rat«e last Saturday. Lady Callaslian was given a let-up'after racing at Wanganui. but sbe is back on the traci* again and Is looking fresli and well. This reliable fencer, should add to her w"»aning record before the jumping reason ends. Although Tidewalter was beaten Into third plae-i at Otaki, he Is likely to show to better advantage in the Southern Queen Handicap if taken to Te Rapa on Saturday. Smoke Screen- showed much improvement In his jumping at Otakl compared to WanjL'MMii. nnd he promises to make good as a hurdler. The Limond—Curtain gelding is to he seen out at Trentham, and if F. jsleltuglj can Peep him going Smoke Screen Is likely ro p.-.y his way on the trip. The rising three-year-old Uvedale is in work again after an enforced spell since September. The Lelghon lllly lias made a complete recovery from the trouble which put her out of actit»n, nnd she Is in great order for another preparation. Uvedale has buili up nicely, and has a much more sol ill app c&.ru nee than formerly. Mr. I*. EriMo? has just put Into work a rising three-year-old filly by Beau Pere out of a Grand Knight mare. This youngster is solidly built, black in colour, and from appearances should develop into a good sort. Mr. Bristol will also have other well-bred youngsters to carry his colours next season, including a yearling colt by Phaleron Bay—Wliaea Pal nnd a colt by Captain Bunsby—The linage. This pair figure among the entries for the Wanganui Guineas of 1941. Two other youngsters who will shortly be taken in hand include one by Bulandshar nnd another by Rulnnut.
