TOPICAL COMMENT
AN IMPROVED PACER Gallant Maid's impressive effort to get third to Dundee Sandy and Navigate in the Canterbury Handicap on day of the Easter meeting at Addington should gain her solid support for the Churchill Handicap, to be run over two miles at Epsom on Saturday. At Addington she registered 4.23 3-5, after losing several lengths at the start. A SMART PERFORMER When she won at Trentham last month Hidden Note created a big impression, and she is certain to carry plenty of money in the Army Handicap at Epsom nn Sh6 is Oil 6 of the iCW trotters in commission these days thatcan be relied upon to do their work coirectly all the way, and seeing that she not opposed by a particularly good class on this occasion, she should have an excellent opportunity of extending her winning record. JUVENILE DISAPPOINTS At the Pahiatua meeting at Woodvilie, Dutch Mary and Specialist fought out the issue of the juvenile event, and that performance brought Dutch Mary for the Taonui Nursery on the first day at Feilding. However, the Christopher Robin filly never got to the front in this instance and fifth was the best she could do. ' MADE BOLD SHOWING Peter Robinson, a product of Sir Crusoe from Idolize, which carried Mr. N. Clouts colours in the Taonui Nursery on the first I day at Fielding, showed a fund of early speed. He forged to the front to be still prominent to the straight, where lack of racing condition told. It was quite a promising showing, and that he had benefited by the outing he showed by running third on the second day. OWNERS' REMINDERS Friday.—Whangarei nominations. Tuesday, April 17.—Entries, combined patriotic meeting (non-tote) of the Thames Jockey Club and Thames Trotting Club.
