TROTTING COURSE DOUBLE AT ADDINGTON

Four- Year-Olds May Dominate Four-year-olds appear to dominate the on-course double, which will be run on the Pacific Handicap and the Bowhill Stakes at the New Brighton Trotting Club's September meeting at Addington Raceway tomorrow.

There are three four-year-olds in the first leg, which will be run over two miles, and Atanui and Lustre Scott should prove worthy representatives of their age group.

Atanui has shown great potential as a stayer. She has had a win and a second from her two starts this season, her placing being a splendid one over a sprint distance which did not suit her on this course on August 27. Atanui will only need to receive a reasonable run to take beating.

Nocatchem has been in trouble in her three starts this season and in all of them better fortune, she could make amends in this race. Richard Hanover looked a shade unlucky whe- third behind Inky Boy on Tuesday she has shown great ability. She will have a chance to gain a long overdue win in the Bowhill Stakes. She will be bracketed with White Smoke, a speedy but rather unreliable pacer. Newport Maid, another frur-year-old. has lost hei chance by tardy beginnings from a standing start this season.
