Krazikid, winner of his last four races, will contest the Shorts Handicap, six furlongs.

Time and Tide is trained by J. C. Tomkinson and comes from a stable with a strong record at Trentham. He is owned by the CJ.C. chairman. Mr D. W. J.

Stokes rode Time and Tide In an impressive solo mile trial at Riccarton yesterday. The newly-opened trial grass gave excellent footing, and Time and Tide completed his

: trial att“actively in Imin 45 3-ssec, the last half in 50 4-5 isec. KEEN RUN A few minutes earlier Krazikid (M. King) showed , marked keenness in a halfjmile gallop with Royal Master (B.
