Visitors Likely At Rotorua

"The Press" Special Service Eiffel Tower, Arleigh and Mosque, from Riverton, and Big Boy and Bill, from Wanganui, are foremost in a team of visiting jumpers which is bringing widespread attention to the Rotorua Racing Club’s meeting today. AU should run weU' and the form of Eiffel Tower, an entry for both Great Northerns wiU be specially interesting.

tt vffl say little for Biffel Tower’s chance in the Great Northern Steeplechase If he does not win or go cloee this time. In the Lakelands Steeplechase, among a held of moderate performance, he has lost Sib. Ho has been given Ost 41b in the Great Northern Steeplechase and lost 31b in the Great Northern Hurdles.

A win today would make him eligible for rehandlcap in the Great Northern Steeplechase although the penalty could hardly be heavy. Eiffel Tower has had one race on his present trip north, for a third behind Kumai and Ging’s Credit over two miles and a half at Te Rapa on May 13. He has trained on well at Te Rapa where W. J. Hillis is preparing his team.

Only Big Boy, in the Lakelands Steeplechase, seems capable of going with Eiffel Tower and according to Wanganui reports he is more likely to start in the KaWerau Hurdles.

In that cue. Big Boy would • be in a strong bracket with 1 Bill, another good lumper < trained by A. D. Whiteman at I Wanganui for Mr A. H. J. Gudsell. Arleigh is also in the > Kawerau Hurdles and If he im- ' firoves only slightly on his orm at the Waikato winter 1 meeting he will be hard to beat. < Arleigh raced once at Te < Rapa for a third, dose up behind Ettrick In the Winter Hurdles on the second day. His form In his home districts is - excellent and he might do very ■ well as he continues his north- < "Blf“Boy Bill, each has < they will stay sufficiently well < to keep out Arleigh, tt seems i unlikely, especially as they I haVe to give Arleigh weight. Mosque, which has an excellent lumping record, will be in ' the Taupo Jumpers' Flat, over 10 furlongs and 180 yards. A five-year-old, Mosque bad two wins and a second tn hack hurdles events .at the Grand National meeting last August.
