SEVERAL WITH GOOD FORM “The Press” Special Service DUNEDIN, June 24. Wingatui stables will be well represented at Trentham next month. Most of the horses will leave for the North Island after competing at Washdyke on Saturday.

Brutus looks improved since racing at Wingatui, where he had a second and a third placing, and he is well forward for his engagement in the Parliamentary Handicap. He will be accompanied north by his stablemate, Red Tinge, which finished second to Fortnight in the Trial Handicap and to Suphero in |he Electric Maiden Stakes at Wingatui. J. A. Wilson’s team will consist of Diablo (Whyte Handicap), Sure Swift (Woburn Handicap), and Johnny Peep (Stewards’ Handicap). Diablo finished third to Argument and Brutus on the last day at Wingatui. Sure Swift had an easy win in the Tainui Handicap on the same day, and Johnny Peep was successful in the Empire Handicap after leading most of the way. H. A. Anderton has not yet decided on taking Irish Glance and Desert Trek; and Robin Redbreast, an easy winner of the Wingatui Steeplechase, may be his sole representative. Robin Redbreast will be ridden in the Wellington Steeplechase by B. R. Thomson.
