Cushla’s Dream appeals

((‘The Press” Special Service) BLENHEIM.

Cushla's Dream must enter seriouslv into calculations for I the Schenley Gin Handicap, first i leg of the T.A.B. double at ! Blenheim today, following her hollow victory on Saturday. Much will depend on whether 'she makes a smooth beginning. She has already won twice on I the circuit for her Methven owner-trainer. S. M. Miller, and i she has shown ability to win ! again. Scotish Chat, which seems to thrive on racing, should be due to end an exasperating run of minor placings, while Grosvenoi Lord should also be capable of ! overcoming his handicap of 20 ! metres for a win.

Bonny River turned in two. solid performances on Saturday and could again reach a place. Masden from Jack Smolenski’s, stable should be due for a change of fortune. The Armbro Del gelding finished on from well back when third to Tinwald at Nelson, but on Saturday he. lost all chance when he bobbled at the start. Quite Regal, which was driven j by D. Mangos on Saturday, did well to finish fifth after breaking at the start and drifting to the rear.

Eagle Dale stopped badly in the Marlborough Cup. and Warragamba again disappointed hisj admirers by failing to show anyi fight after being handy to the' straight. ;

Irish Rhythm and Cashmere j Bay could fight out the finish, of the W T. Lowe Memorial Handicap, second leg of the; double. Both fought on gamely for, their places on Saturday after' having little luck in the running Mark Aloud, a decisive winner! on the first day. Pat Nash and! Great Scott are likely improvers !
