Adoration May Race Well At Nelson Meeting Today

TROTTING

I Adoration. Rcsslyn Rowan. Dominion - i f Monarch and Solemnity are maiden : ■pacers with bright prospects of open- . 'mg their winning accounts in the . Novice Handicap and the Primary Handicap, both of which will be run ;in divisions on the first day of the !• Nelson Trotting Club's winter meet- * i Ing today. Adoration took no part in the con- | i test for the New - Zealand Futurity . ■ stakes at Ashburton last Saturday j i She swung round at the start. At her ; ■previous start she had finished on in < great style from well back in the field. » : for third to First Lady and Taipo in . a maiden race at Oamaru on May 12. The V. Scott—Admiration filly has " a useful turn of speed, and will be i i one of the favourites for - the first ’division of the Novice Handicap today. She is also engaged in the first ' division of the one miie and a quarter , Primary Handicap later in the day. : but the sprint distance may not suit' < her as. well as the mile and a half in cer earlier engagement. Most opposition to her in her first race may come from Solemnity, which was most impressive when he quail-! tied at Addington last month. Solemnity showed ability in his races as a 4 two-year-old. snd he has not raced ' this term. He has developed since his' i last race and. if he can handle the : soft track conditions expected at Nel- < son, he may make a bold showing. Erin’s Choice, which paced useful ' races at Hutt Park last week-end. will ' have her supporters. The half-sister I ■ to Loyal Peter has been consistent this season, and is overdue for a win. She may have a change of luck at < Nelson, where she will have four oo- s ’ portunities. • * ■ Gregory Grattan was fair fourth:' in his race at Ashburton last Sa tur- : day. and will not meet such a strong I . field today. He will have prospects of ' ’being placed, as will Chanter, sixth over two miles at Ashburton, and j Medalius. Promising Pacer Rossiyn Rowan, a three-year-old sis- f ter to Rowan Star, has been placed in ■ three of her four starts to date, and i she should go close to gaining her first : win. Recent racing should have im-. proved her. and it will be surprising■ if she fails to win on the trip. Dominion Monarch, which late last season was purchased at a substantial once by Mr and Mrs J. DarwelL who i : I have met with considerable success • with Denary. showed that he may not :■ Ibe long striking winning form when he beat all but Streamliner in the Belmont Handicap at Hutt Park last Monday. By U. Scott from Joan Coni quest, the dam also of Lady Rowan | and Con Scott. Dominion Monarch has ? a useful turn of speed, but he is not. ; too reliable. If he races up to his Hutt Park form, he should extend j Rosslyn Rowan. . First Voyage, a firm 2.2 favourite, ’ ; was disappointing over two miles at Ashburton last Monday. The shorter 1 distances of the races at Nelson should suit him admirably, and he may be much narder to beat today. ■■ Trojan was third over two miles; i at Ashburton, and the shorter distances should suit him. He can handle heavy ■ going and should pay his way. Half Back, a member of F. G. ■[ Lynch’s Greymouth team, may do best tof the others. If Rosslyn Rowan fails earlier in : the day. she will probably be favI ourite for the first division of the: !> Primary Handicap. Trojan and Erin's i Choice may offer most opposition to her. with support Likely for Chanter. :• Adoration and Solemnity. t Dominion Monarch will probably be i favourite for the second division, t which looks the weaker of the two-. i Most opposition to him may come from. , Gregory Grattan. First Voyage, and ■ ’ Sebastian, which finished fourth at his' ‘ only start to date. In the absence of Gold Moana and Racemaster. Showdown will be an even stronger favourite for the first leg of the double, the Winter Handicap. Signor, runner-up to Compo Jack at Ashburton last Monday. Crystal . Star, Quo Vadis and Lady Nelson will improbably have the best prospects ;; among the others. e? Nine of the acceptors for the second ■ leg. the Advance Handicap, are en- • i gaged earlier in the day in the Im- ■; provers’ Handicap. If produced again ‘ ■ Kyle Nurse will probably be favourite. ; i with Black Gem. a good’ third at Ash- ; i purton last Monday. likely to be the i hardest to beat. Manun’da. Promeitheus and By Pass may also show up A surprise could come from ■ j Auburn’s Best, which showed sneec 1 ; tor a time in his two starts at Ash- i 1 burton. Those were his first starts' • for the season, and he should be an i improved horse. By Dillon Hal! from = Auburn Sun, he should be at home on ■ soft tracks. | Selections are:— 5 11 a _J n - —lntroductory Handicap: Nir- ■ vana, Care, Van Ardee. j 11.40 a.m.—lmprovers' Handicap: Kyle ' ; Nurse.
