ANNA KILDARE SPRINT PICK

"The Press" Special Sereice ; PALMERSTON NTH. J Jen Hai and Ana ' Kildare remain in favour for the T.A.B. j concession double at i the Pahiatua Racing ! Club’s meeting today, ; Jen Hal served notice that 1 he was on the verge of top i form again when he won a i welter event at Awapuni, ; coming from an apparently hopeless position to win going away. Then he disappointed at Tqiherenikau with an apprentice rider up. That might have been a temporary lapse, judging by the dash Jen Hai put into his final gallop. Although he is now a veteran, he seems as good as ever. Jen Hai is at best on good ground. Overnight rain and

softer footing would bring the South Island horses, Jay Ribbon and Royal Blue, to i the forefront of calculations. SECOND LOG The Ballance Handicap should , be run at a fast pace, with Ana . Kildare likely to be ths early leader. However, J. F. Harris may ■ rate her better than his I younger brother with the result that Ana Kildare may be travelling with a bit more In reserve this time than usual. . . . The mare’s recent training has been exceptional and, but for an oversight, she would have been at Ellerslie last week for the Railway Handicap. The ones to test Ana Kildare might be Yoshlko, Phar Lace and Chapel Belle. The weather is showery and the track will bo easy.
