PERTH. The New Zealand pacer. Young Quinn, has earned 14 points and must win the seventh heat of the Inter-Dominion Championship at Gloucester Park tonight to have a chance of avoiding the cut-off mark for the 10-horse final.

Young Quinn has so far been! a failure in the 1974 series. His, trainer, C. Hunter, however, still I has hopes that the four-year-old , will do well. Similarly, the Tasmanian pacer. ■ Yaliara. which also has 14 points.: must win the same heat or be left out in the final. Lallara’s best run in the series was a third behind Hondo Grat-) tan on the opening night. But trotting writers in Perth think that the Western Austra--lian pacer. Yankee Rhythm, with) 15 points to his credit. Is most likelv to win the seventh heat The New South Wales champion. Welcome Advise (18 points) has good prospects in the ninth heat Both horses are favoured by l the free-for-all conditions of tonight’s heats. Another Sydney pacer. Just Too 'Good, which had a remarkable win last Wednesday, has drawn 1 on the second tine with Adios Victor. However. Just Too Good, now favourite at 5 to 2 for the final, will probably not win tomorrow night under the free-for-all con ditions. G. Harpley is confident that Welcome Advice will win the ninth heat. “The horse has settled in nicely and I think he :is readv for his first Western Australian win,” he said yester- : day. Welcome Adv.ce meets a lot j of his rivals on good terms, and 'hough he has drawn wide on the front line he should be good enough to win. Harpley. who rarely leaves Welcome Advice when he is away

from his home state, said trit horse had eaten well and wai frisky. The Sydney pacer, Paleiaci Adios. which set a rate of 2:1 for 2400 metres in winning th: fifth heat last Wednesday, wil be favourite for the eighth hea tonight. lie has the advantage oi : better barrier draw than Hondi Grattan and the V’ictoriai speedster. Royal Gaze. Paleface Adios is a short-pricei favourite for his heat.
