TERRATON CUP PICK

e, The Press” Special Service AUCKLAND. North and South rivalry in the Oaks and the Bellini Champagne Stakes, and the presence of Terraton and Great Adios in the Thames Trotting Cup should provide interesting racing at Alexandra Park tonight. Terraton and Great Adios are on tough marks, 48 and 96 yards respectively, but their records will ensure they are well backed. . Terraton, especially, may be tough to beat. She broke the Claudelands track record for 12i furlongs at her last appearance and she has since done well in training. Charlie’s Task, the winner of six of his eight starts, shaped well for fourth at Alexandra Park recently when having his first race of the season. He should be harder to beat this time. „ ... The Thames Trotting Cup will be the first leg of the T.A.B. concession double. The second leg of this double will be the Brownlee Memorial, for which Petite Polly may be the popular fancy. I The track is firm, but scattered showers are forecast. | | Selections: 6.5 p.m.—Kopu Handicap: Lord Capricorn, Cavalcade, Bonnie Creed. 6.35 p.m.—Karaka Handicap: Warrior Bold. Inflamable.
