“The Press” Special Service INVERCARGILL. T.A.B. Code: G.R. Coorabin, assured of a place In the Benson and Hedges Inter-island Handicap field at Riccarton on Friday, has been withdrawn from the Phoenix Aviation Handicap, the first leg of the T.A.B. double at the opening of the Gore Racing Club's autumn meeting today. Lomax now promises to be a firm first choice with Highland’s Pride and the Dunedin Gold Cup winner, Redlo. the most likely to match him. The three-year-old Trial Run, in spite of an outside barrier draw, may be the one to beat in the second leg, the Ferndale

Handicap. In five starts this season. he has won twice and been placed twice. He was back in fifth place at his other start, in the Southland Guineas, but the class today is a good deal different. Trial Run is an able young galloper, and this could be a chance for him. Ibo reappeared on a winning note at the Southland meeting last month, and would not be condemned for his last start failure on a slippery track at Wyndham. Panagor stopped to last in tile Southland Guineas at his latest start, but is a good deal better than that. At his previous start, he was runnerup to In The Dark at the Dunedin meeting. Over 1400 metres. Red Ruby will be one of the stronger chances She won at Invercargill In November, and favourably drawn today she could take some beating. Selections:—
