Bingen Chimes is bred the right way, while Gay Moko and Llanvabon may go well. Gold Kip is very consistent and Worthy Lu is speedy. Aurumar won well in August and Dick Kedmond has prospects. Frontier Boy and Nelson's Glory are possibilities. Reception is trotting in fine stylo and does well on a good track. The fancies may be LEELEETA, GAY MOKO, BINGEN CHIMES. 12.40—IMPROVERS' HANDICAP, Of £200; limit. 3.5; 11/ il l /i miles First Division --3 Auto Bingen G. H. Phipps Lt 200 Gipsy Light G.

Gipsy Light, Golden Star, Militia, Sequoia and Trauan have raced creditably and Auto Bingen is a promising three-year-old. Harlow, Sweet Aloes and William . Direct are likely to improve and \\ inhisway is not without a chance. Some who may find favour are RERE ORO, TRAUAN, UiARCUS. I.2S—JELL JCO E HANDICAP, pf £300; limit, 3.24; l l / 3 miles 100 Gay Sister W. Clifton Lt 000 Great Chum S. M. August Lt 000 Noble Prince J. W. McKendrick Lt 000 Navy Bluo M.

Gay Sister is smart and a repetition of track work would give Noble Prince a good chance. Navy Blue is capable of a sound effort and Our Peggy is in good form. Proletarian ran prominently in August, when Kenworthy scored decisively and has prospects again. Crocus only needs to gb away correctly to lie dangerous, and Fernbrook Lass may surprise. Star Pronto is regaining form and Nervie's Last is not out of it. Most •upport may be for KENWORTHY, PROLETARIAN, CROCUS-NERVIE'S LAST Bracket.

2.5 PARNELL HANDICAP, Of £225; limit, 3.3-i; iy a miles 000 Derby Lu A. J. B. Norris Lt 010 Equipoise S. M. i\uj?ust Lt 000 Isabella Pointer J. G. Robertson Lt 000 Lady Amanda A.

Stewart W> Equipoise, Uenuku and Isabella Pointer are a fine trio, while Itanfurlv Lass and Royal Palrn are improving. Paranri should be dangerous, Vith Handicapper and Our Summer also possibilities. Young Pointer is a fine pacer when fit and Bismuth is in great heart. Forest Jewel ha*s excellent credentials ®nd must be respected, while Lucky Love jg well forward. The favourites may be » UENUKU, PARAURI, ISABELLA POINTER. 2.4S—MOUNTAIN HANDICAP, Of £225; trotters; limit, 4.52; 2 miles 000 Waingake R. A. McMillan Lt 200 Tonee L. F. Berk nit |_' 002 Win Huon C.

Arapai is nolid, while Pirate's Last may JJinke amends for bis August defeat. Young Rodney is a possibility and Mute'stjfolidness should givp him good prospects. Tbe best supported may lie TONEE, ARAPAI. M UTE. 3.2S—OCTOBER HANDICAP, Of £225; limit, 3.38; VA miles M 0 Fisher A. Paton Lt WO Kewpie's Queen J. Gee Lt Bequoia W. H.

Kewpie's Queen lias been working attractively and Fisher, if ho does his best, may surprise. On top of the ground Lady Potts should go well, while Ratepayer and Kete Kura are good improvers with prospects. The recent form of Tommy McElwyn nnrl Star cum has been consistently good. Koman Chief is solid and Acceleration is very useful. Bedford seldom runs a bad race, while Petite Jewel and Roma Girl stay well. Van Derby may trouble the best if produced fit. Investors may prefer TOMMY McELWYN, KEWPIE'S QUEEN. STARGUM. 4.S—STEWARDS' HANDICAP, Of £225; limit, 3.28; l'/j miles 330 Bexley Girl P. J. Smith Lt 000 Chili Bean G. T.

Smith 30 Bracket: Bexley Girl. Sandusky and Chili Bean. A smart beginner, True Trust should be hard to dispose of, and Bexley Girl should be improved for her race at Hutt 'Park. At his best, Chili Bean is capable. Kewpio's Crest is on the improve. Native Cole is speedy, while his solid condition should assist Manga Tangi. Musketeer is a prospect and the consistent Vanora has to bo respected. Glorietta and Winaway are smart pacers. Sandusky, Our War and Policy have most form of the others. The chief fancies may include • BEXLEY GIRL-SANDUSKY-CHILI BEAN Bracket. MUNGA TANGI. VANORA. 4.50 —ELECTRIC HANDICAP, Of £250; limit, 2.47; IV, miles 021 Compass - ■ ■ f-J 100 Crocus F. J.

Nervie's Last and King's Warrior. If reserved, Kenworthy would be very difficult to beat, but Compass, a recent winner, may be the elect. Crocus and Fernbrook Lass are very speedy and Our Peggy is reliable. Noble Prince and Star Pronto are in form and Gold Dredge is on a mark from which she has a good chance. The brilliant Nervie's Last is the pick of the handicap and Kewpie's' Triumph may bo best of the others. Favouritism may rest between CROCUS-NER VIE'S LAST-KING'S WARRIOR Bracket, COMPASS-KENWORTHY Bracket OUR PEGGY. FINAL TRAINING USEFUL WORK PERFORMED GREAT CHUM AND ARGOLIS BY ABAYDOS Although the dirt track at Epsom was in excellent order yesterday, there was no fast hoppled work and most of the horses used the sand, which provided easier going. '-Reception (W. J. Wheeler) and Roman Chief (A. J. Forbes) were sent a useful mile and a-half, with a sharp finishing sprint. Reception trotted solidly and has never looked brighter. Although he was free-legged, Roman Chief shaped well and has developed into a good type. Great Chum tR. August) worked a mile at the trotting gait and Argolis (S. M. August) spriited a couple of quarters with dash. They were then sent two miles and finished on terms after covering the last mile in 2.29. Great Chum is well forward for his engagement to-day. Argolis, who has not raced for some time, is to contest the Insulation Handicap on Monday. Lucky Love (I). Cook) was never at top while going a mile and threequarters, but he displayed a lot of dash in the first two and last three furlongs. He has gone on the right way since winning the unhoppled race at the matinee meeting. Nelson Pearl Shows Dash Nelson Pearl (S. M. August) sprinted the last few furlongs of a mile and a-quarter with dash. She has furnished into a neat filly and is making steady progress. Shirley's Pal (H. Ryland) trotted two laps solidly and was running on at the end. She bears a healthy appearance and may race well. Harold Logan (P. Campbell) was given strong work with Glorietta on the lead, and they were accompanied by Effie Parrish (B. Flood). All are in good order. J. A. Gerrard restricted All Bingen, Acceleration and Bingen Chimes to steady work. The last-named is a sturdy little chap who gives the impression he will trot solidly. All Bingen, a useful mare, is engaged in the Green Lane Handicap on Monday. Young Rodney (L. Laver) trotted two miles without mistake, hitting out freely over the last half-mile. He is not lacking in condition, but has not been trotting solidly on the hard tracks. Arapai Trots Solidly Great Sonoma (C. M. Morrison) showed speed in a couple of sharp sprints and is very forward. If he can keep to the correct 1 gait, lie should take some beating in the Mountain Handicap.

Equipoise (S. M. August) was not hurried over two miles. He has furnished nicely and is in great heart, and, providing he goes away reasonably well, should be very dangerous in the Parnell Handicap. Arapai (B. Liddall) trotted two miles solidly. He derived benefit from racing at Wellington and on a firm track is not without prospects. Liddall worked Golden Star free-legged in saddle and she revelled in sound work. Vanora (L. J. Mahoney) and Tommy McKlwvn (.1. Peters) wero allotted a strong mile and a-half, but did not put much energy into the work. It is in favour of both Vanora and Tommy McKlwvn that they are much better racing propositions than track work indicates.

Stargum (W. Head) sprinted sharply over three furlongs and Pirate's Last, Post Haste* and Gay Moko were given strong tasks over two inilcw.
