NOTES ON THE FORM.

SOME FINE PERFORMANCES,

ASPIRING AND SILVER PAPER,

[BY TELEdBAFH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] DUNEDIN. Thursday. "With the exception of the three-year-old filly Prickles, the field for the Mosgiel Handicap at the Dunedin Meeting to-day was made up of New Zealand Cup candidates, jind tho racg was of considerable interest. Pink Note won in very decisive fashion and will have to be reckoned with at Ricrarton. Overdrawn showed better form than he has done for some time, and though ho may not stay two miles ho should win races this season. Footfall, making his first, appearance since the autumn, ran a really good race, which greatlv pleased hi 3 Ciid ndrnirer3.

Count Cavou.r was travelling in his best style 01 or tho last two furlongs and should win more his races. Bet Sail ran much bolow her Geraldino Cup form and her effort was disappointing. Hoylake suffered serious interference less than five furlongs from home, but he did not look like a winner even before he met the trouble. Diana's Lad outclassed the opposition in the First Hurdle Handicap. He went to the front early and never looked in danger of defeat. He is an improving horse who has not reached his best. Phastar showed attractive form when he won the Maungatua Handicap. Lie was well placed ull through and finished on better Ihau any of his; rivals. More will be heard of him. '' Pound Note mado a one-horse race of She Trial Stakes being in front from end to end and never looking as if ho would bo caught. It is probable ho was lucky in the fact that Starshooter struck trouble. Stiirfiiooter suffered interference at the start and later in the lourney met further trouble, was a smart performance that landed •» w - «*»«. «Tiw2rS2 in wlnrJn » She jumped Int W ,"' s a hrlUlanl ' °ne. and thS L\ I 'hi ICad , Wlth post, after which Un" ° , rlc ' I1 ° trnm '-he racein ß af e Ki„ A rX- IWayß thu loper and should have n ' 8 6 ai ' eedy ttnl - It is reported that &" ul career.

little over half a mile from home through galloping on the hcola of a horao in front of her. The incident prevented any lino being obtained regarding her prospects. Silver Paper Bcored a vory easy win in tlio Electric Handicap after being in front nil the way. lie seems destined to take high honours in any events he contests this season. He should run well in tho Dnuedin Guineas on Saturday. Tripaway gave further evidence that she is a greatlv improved mare. She lost a lot of ground at the start and with an ounce of luck would havo given the winner a harder race. Koyal Saxon's form can be disregarded as his rider lost a stirrup on the journey.

The easy win scored by Koyal Tractor in the Taioma Handicap waa an attractive effort. He broke the opposition uo in the eiirly stages by hi 3 brilliant speed and never looked like being caught. Ho has had three wins and a second during tho last three weeks and is improving with

each race. Lucy Locket has run soveral useful races this season and het reward enmo in the October Handicap in which sho always held a good position and finished up by outstaying the opposition. Further successes may be expected before long as she is very well. Quarterdeck gave a creditable performance and just failed to stall off Lucv Locket at the finish. Tho race should bo of benefit to her. SECOND DAY'S EVENTS. HANDICAPS DECLARED. [tVV TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] DUNEDIN. Thursday.

I WELLINGTON NOTES. i JOTTINGS FROM TRENTHAM. CONTINGENT FROM SYDNEY. ■ [by telegraph.—own correspondent.] WELLINGTON. Thursday. Pleasant conditions prevailed at Trentham this morning:. Nearly all the horses with Masterton engagements were allowed to run along on the trial crass, which is hard and fast. Thei course proper is in excellent order. Black Mint nnd Imarosebud galloped seven furlongs in 1.3-1, and Rabbi sprinted three furl on gs in 375. Royal Game was not asked to co fast, but paced nnd cantered over a circuit. Botirse, who is improving, did Rood work but was not pent along at a fast clip. Quantum and Glare, from the samo stable, were given easy exercise. Quantum lookp, in good order to commence serious tasks. Wild Pigeon finished a mile alone in 1.41, a very satisfactory effort. General Assembly and the Kilbroney—Favorita colt in 11. B. Lorigan'a stable sprinted tliren furlongs in 3!)g. Rotowhero and Toheka finished on terms at the end of six furlongs in 1.19. Chief Singer was going well at the end of five furlongs in 1.6 2-5. Tho Dove finished well clear of Lady Gay and Lady Paasenger nt tho end of half a, mile in 535.

Insurgent and Shot Silk sprinted three furlongs in S6s. Insurgent is to race at Maslerton on Saturday, but lack of public experience may bo against him. Gay Ballerina, who finished third in the Gimcrack Stakes in Sydney, was noticed out trotting about in tho middle of tho course. Sho looks nono the worse for her trip. Freeze Out and Dainty Ways ran six furlongs together in 1.19. Hipdale and Araemo pleased by getting to tho end of half a mile.in 51s. Both are improved liorses. Tho immediate racing campaign of Oratrix. Concentrate and Cimabue depends on how they progress after their Sydney trip. Oiatrix looks to have done best and Cimabue pleases more than Concentrate. They were on the track this morning, but were not worked. The Breeders' Plato winner Gold Tingo is temporarily located at Trent ham and his looks alone will earn hi.-ji many supporters for the Wellesley Stakes. lie cantered once round this morning on (lie plough, moving most attractively. There is no doubt that ho has thrived on his racing and travelling and is in great order. Courtlike, Push. Sapient, Ducllona and Miss Kene were schooled at tho barrier and all jumped away well except tho lastnamed. Afterwards tho other four were sprinted three furlongs. Endorse arrived from P'llerslio this morning and rejoined H. lelford a string. She was accompanied by the imported matr Sunkiss, who goes to the same trainer. lelford has also received from Sydney to train for Mr. B. H. Edkins the two-year-old Absurd—Blackmail filly Becky Sharp. Sho is a racy-looking youngster, who should go fast.
