Friday AVONDALE RALT (Race 4), b g, 4yrs, by Salkan Knight-Greteena, trained at Takaninl by C. Jillings and R. Yuill. Has been a minor placegetter in 11 of his 18 starts to date so a victory tonight would be thoroughly deserved. Saturday AUCKLAND TOBAGO (Race 5), b g, 4yrs, by Game Pride-Ann's Globe, trained at South Hillend by R. H. Jenkins. Fine young trotter which was not disgraced when sixth against the open class performers on Wednesday night, trotting his last 800 m in 59.6 s and 400 m in 29.3. Impressive winner at Cambridge three starts back and should be hard to beat despite 30m handicap. FOXTON TRIAB (Race 10), h g, 3yrs, by Three Legs-Abba, trained at Felldlng by M. K. Smith. Beaten favourite on soft track at Te Rapa last time out but was successful at his
two previous sura, bnouia take beating tomorrow if he has the footing to suit HORORATA APPLICATE (Raoa 1), b g. 6yrs, by Palatable-Nurse Onisis, trained at Riccarton by D. J. ThistoU. Usual sound race for second against the hurdlers at Trentham last- week. Fourth at Ellerslie at his previous attempt over hurdles. TIMARU JOHNNY BOGART (Race 1), b g. 4yrs, by Bogart Han-over-Able Norris, trained at Highbank by P. G. O’Reilly. Put up a game effort when second to the speedy Mount Cook at Oamaru last Saturday. Has drawn reasonably and should match his rivals in this field. WAIKATO HIGHBURY (Race 10) br g, 3yrs, by St Puckie-Kiss Girl, trained at Ellerslie by F. T. Richie. Highly promising three-year-old with three wins from five starts, including Ms last two on end. Looks more than a match for this He’d. •
