RED FLUSH IN GREAT HEART BY ABAYDOS The presence of the Jellicoe Handicap favourite Med Flush at Epsom yesterday with six others of jYI. Stewart's team, and a number of other visiting horses, stimulated interest in the final grass track trials for the Auckland Trotting Club's Spring Meeting, which opens to-niOrro\\\ Red Flush is in good condition, as. aru the other members of M. Stewart's team, namely, Policy,, Tsaiiii, Molly Direct, Tinker, Wishful and the trotter Worthy Merit. Another visiting: trainer to' appear was CI. McNie.kle with Double Peter and Loyal Direct. The latter is engaged on the second day of (lie meeting. The Ashhurst trainer J. A. (icrrard has arrived with 'To Hoto and ■ Audrey's Last, and no fault can be found with their condition. L. P. Berketl is expected to-day with Mongolian and Warship. The visiting horses Air Pilot, Black Native. Redmond's I'ridc and De Reske took part in the trials and the solid effort of Air Pilot drew attention to his prospects in the Mountain Handicap... Equipoise in Favour The consistent Policy showed dash in a sprint with Red Flush, and, although on 2<L yards in the Stewards' Humlieap, which is one of the most; open events on tfie card, she Rained many friends. The fine, .effort. of ISnuipoise ,on Tuesday has .brought him into favour, and others, in the class who havo good prospects include' Shrewdy. Three Bells. -.Tangatu,: Bold Venture, Vanora, ' Proletarian and. Francisco. After her brilliant victory in the Mussey Memorial . Handicap in August Francisco should be oite of the hardest to beat.. . As the result of attractive work at Mangcrc ; Bayard, who won good races last season for j M. Stewart, has come into prominence for j the Jellicoe Handicap. Sandusky and Kew-j pie's King have made good progress at Taka- j nini, and reports from Hamilton show that | C>ur McKlnney, winner of the August Handi- | cap. has gone on the right way in the interval. Very little lia« been heard of Uenukii since he' won twice in May, but lie may appeal more in the sprint event. Uenuku's prospects in the shorter : Electric, Handicap appear bright. One. of. his most formidable rivals may be Kenworthy, who had thp. benefit of a rjico in August, when,,following an iillnrruption to his training, ho was second to Our McKlnney, who was in receipt, of ,30yds. Chance For Nervie's Last • Norvie'.s Last, who ran second'to Marleno in the Wellington Handicap, is well placed and the Now Zealand Trotting Cup candidate Ironside is not without prospects. Our Peggy, a smart sprinter, who won the race last season, has a chance of repeating the performance. Bayard, Kewpie's King and Our MeKintiey have good form at (he distance, and their form in the Jellicoe Handicap may give a further line on their prospects. Many promising novices will contest the Improvers' Handicap, the second division of which will be run on Monday. Clay Pot. To Roto, Kewpie's. Bingen. Parishioner and Revision have earned penalties without winning. and. although they have good prospects, they may find some of (hose on the limit difficult to beat. Excel. Bingen's Best, Seotty Direct, Narbada, Sequoia, Maratua, Wishful, Bronze King. Neon Oro and North-, crn Smile, hitvc placed performances.
