Paries d’Amour, better than any of Ma rivals in" the Ta Timl Kara Handicap, first leg of the Otaki Maori Baeing Club's T.A.B. double today. The trainer, M. B. Andrew*, ie satisfied with the way Parlez d Amour has come along since Ns Snal work on Thursday. With W. D. Skelton up. the High Bank gelding might be at fairly cramped odds.

Though, be remains a leading prospect ho may tend to pull a bit hard and this would not bslp him in ths small

There are quite a few form prospect* engaged in the second log. the Talpuna Handicap. With the ground drying Able Mariner may find it difficult to beat Ana Kildare at a difference of only 41b.
