TIMAUR TROTTING CUP
FORM TRIO FOR SATURDAY
Four of the acceptors for the Timaru Trotting Cup, to be run on Saturday, raced' at the Wellington Meeting, and Grace McElwyn was definitely superior to the other three, Bingen Palm, Agile,' and.Peter Locanda, both' on top of the ground and in the .mud. She has been woriderfully consistent, and is beginning, to. stay .on much, better with,, increasing age. ' - , Alsb on the liniit are Battlefield and Sea Gift. Battlefield won the Methven Cup, and later two races at. Forbury Park like a good, one. He,has a real chance. Sea Gift; a trotter, may be at a disadvantage as regards the early pace, but she is a rare stayer, and quite likely to upset all. calculations. ■'•' j Recess beat Little Nelson narrowly in the President's Handicap at the last Timaru Meeting, and now meets him on 12 yards worse terms. Recess, however, is the more reliable. Gunfire was a good winner at Forbury Park in the summer, and a repetition of their best !would put the backmarker's, Avernus arid Craganour, in the firing line. Itl is a fairly open race, the possible favourites being Grace McElwyn, Recess,: and Sea Gift.
