Cup Hopes On Trial
"The Press” Special Service AUCKLAND. Whether several Auckland Cup nominations have been worthwhile should be shown in the Hugh Dent Memorial, the first leg of the T.A.B. concession double at Paeroa tomorrow.
if they are to have any chance at Ellerslie, Punjabi, City Court, Native Diver, and Springlo should go well, and a win for
Shantung would be a fine Derby I and Oaks trial. Punjabi and City Court are in the cup with 8-10 and 7-10 —6lb less in each case than they will be carrying in the Hugh Dent Memorial. Springlo and Native Diver, with 7-7, have 51b less in the cup than in the Paeroa event. A win for any cup candidate would almost certainly bring a rehandicap for Ellerslie. Punjabi, a Takanlni seven-year-old, won sufficiently well last time, in the South Auckland Gold Cup. to come into consideration as an Auckland Cup contender. He is a free galloper, which as far as 11 furlongs at any rate, stays well. City Court and Native Diver have won middle-distance handi- , caps recently and Springlo, which showed such good autumn form up to a mile, has given promise in his latest training; of coming close to his best 1 again. SECOND LEG Miss Lynette, last seasons A.R.C. Railway Handicap winner, promises to be a hot favourite for the second leg, the Shaw Handicap. In her last race, her third after a spell, she showed all the pace that made her so good last season for a third and it is almost certain she has improved since. The hardest for her to beat will probably be Jackaboy, Lord Cheval and Nunui. Selections: 11 a.m.—Karangahake Handicap. First Division: Reyal Tip, Typify. Second Division: Pal.
