Micron will be popular at Addington tomorrow

Micron, a horse many felt would have raced with distinction had he been in the Tjnter-Dominion Championship Grand Final, will tomorrow’ start from 10m in a race for C 5 and C 6 pacers at the New Brighton Trotting Club’s autumn meeting.

His racing at Auckland included a win in heat at the exjiense of Speedy Guest and a Ariose defeat by Ruling Credit in a Consola•tion race, will probably result in his starting :~a dominating favourite at Addington Racef>vay in what is the second leg of the ont course double.

probably the hardest for Micron to beat will be Kinlira, a mare expected to go nprth for the New Zealand Messenger, the heats for ifhich will be run at Alexandra Park on March 8. i Kintara. which has raced well lately at trials, has not started since she was unluckily beaten by Sam's Srttiie on January 25. ; Just-a-Glow, too. will be tn demand. She was checked apd finished eighth at her last start on January 25. Since then she has been impressive at trials and a peak run should result in her taking a prominent part in the finish.

Avon Song and Gay Tennessee appeal most of the others on the front, but they will be hard pressed to beat

Armbro Circle and Mighty Gay, both of which will start from 10m. Armbro Circle was second to Chatterton at Forbury. Park at his latest start, while Mighty Gay showed I his true ability with a dashing win over 3200 m at .Washdyke last Saturday. Cherristock, Palmdale and Laird O’Logan form a likely trio for the first leg, the Burwood Handicap, a race i.i which the chances of Select Circle. Royal George, Elevation, Combine and Armbro Song are also highly rated. Master Dean and Forto Prontezza will form a popu-i lar combination in the T.A.B. 1 ■ double, which will be run oni the Members’ Handicap and the Celebrity Stakes. 8.40 p.m.— MEMBERS' HANDICAP, S3UOO: C 7; 2600 m. 1436 Forta Cavalta (1) lt| Henderson
