' Cricket Bat has taken a new lease of life since he resumed work after his spell. •He is as gay as a two-year-old and ■ from the manner in which he gets through his tasks it may not bo long before he is ready to show his best form in a race. Polydora is none the worse for her race at Washdyke on Saturday. She moved freely in a mile gallop this morning and is likely to race prominently _at Trentham. Having returned to winning form she will be one of the popular picks in the New Zealand Cup. Vintage went in good style in his seven-furlong spin this morning. Jli«s time was equal to anything done -during the morning, and the manner in which he did it made his gallop impressive. Tie should run well at Trentham. where L. .1. Ellis will ride him. It is far from certain yet that he will be a starter in the New Zealand Cup.
