Reddition looks sound chance at Blenheim

r By G. K. YULE Reddition looks set to! break through for a first win when he contests the Waterlea Handicap, the final | leg of the on-course treble on the first day of the Marl- I borough Trotting Club’s' summer meeting today. The six-year-old has failed; to weigh in in only two of; his eight most recent starts,; which have resulted in three seconds, two thirds and a fourth. He was twice second' at the recent Nelson meet-' ing. going under by a head

to Boltin on Saturday and by the same margin to Joe : Marsh on Monday. He will, .only have to reproduce i those runs to come out on top today. Dainty Judy, also second tin two starts at Nelson, will ■ be another of the better; ■chances, but she has to overcome a second-line baririer draw. Kotare Crest, runner-up to Paddy Holiday at Washdyke ion January 20, is an inter-) esting newcomer to the cir•cult. He should make a bold, 1 showing, while the chances i I of Sprylita, Gay Montana,)

I Foaming Waters and Ashley ijLord will have to be considered. ■ Drift On, a good third to Uhls stablemate. Miss Mejlinda. at Nelson on Monday, IlTutaki Rodney and Little; Mohn form a likely trio in rjthe first leg, the Barnes >' Handicap. Che Kavar, knocked out of his race at Nelson on Monijday, must be given a chance :)of making amends in the j.middle leg. the President’s • Handicap, a race in which I Hallfield Dream and Gaelic ; Gift should be capable of ad,lding interest to the finish.
