By

G. K. YULE

Treasurer has not had the best luck in his recent racing, but this should change when he contests the Geraldine Cup at Orari tomorrow.

I'over 2600 m. He is a dour, i stayer and should run Treasl urer close. I Prince Nugent, Johnny > Balbo, Regal Law and Big • Idea should do best of the ■ others on the front, while a • big run is expected from Dainty Judy, on 20m. Reverie Hanover, a solid ; finisher for third behind : I Light Lord on November 14,

Treasurer’s latest start ' was in the Premier Stakes! pn November 14. He started; f*-om 10m and showed courage in a battling finish to hold third, less than a length from Brase, which started from the front. Treasurer is not meeting a particularly strong field at Orari and it will be surprising if he fails

t|to take a prominent part in’ /the finish. i J Axworthy King recorded 4min 15.4 s for 3200 m when I ’ he won on New Zealand Cup; i day. Then, three days later i he went down to Thurber I Globe over the same dis- ; tance, returning 4min 18s. He had one further start at : the Cup carnival, finishing third to The Power Game!

•,and False Regal, a stylish ■ winner four nights later, should dispute the finish to , the second leg, the Geraldine ; Trust Handicap. i Easter Morn and True i Bay, which also raced with ( distinction at the Cup meetI ing, are others entitled to , consideration.
