TROTTING Martial Salute picked for Blenheim first leg

"The Press” Special Service ■’ BLENHEIM. , Martial Salute, which : ran fourth in the Marlborough Cup after being hampered by lack of j racing room, is expec- 1 ted to be rewarded in ' the Schenley Gin Handi-ij cap. first leg of the < T.A.B. concession double j at Blenheim today. True Fortune, an impres-l give winner of the Ranfurly ; Shield Handicap, is capable of further improvement, and ■ it should be the hardest to beat. Bonheur did not receive the best of runs in the Marlborough Cup after being slow away. With a smart beginning from the ace position he could be hard to peg back. Local Beau and Peter Gerald are capable of improving on their efforts on Saturday, and McCreedy cannot be counted out because of his handicap. Stirling Holm, which showed good form at Nelson, might be the hardest to beat in the W. T. Lowe Handicap, second leg of the double.) On Saturday he ruined a) good winning chance when) he jumped a shadow on the) track and broke. Scottish Erin, a surprise) Nelson winner, should have) been improved by the race. I Lily Chase, an impressive Nelson winner, was a close fourth on Saturday and will appreciate the longer journey today. Dunhoe will not be embarrassed by the rise in class while Master and Risky Jim may be prominent if they make smooth beginnings. Gate Crasher, a newcomer to the circuit, has already had two wins this season so the Smolensk! repersentative must be rated highly. On-course and concession doubles will be run on the divisions of the Kaikoura, J. D. Woodham and Montana Handicaps and the quinnella will operate on races one, two, four, eight, and nine.
