TRENTHAM FORM

displays of juveniles enrich and cetewayo best BLACK ,ROBE A SOLID FILLY KINSMAN LIKELY IMPROVER fllY TELEGRAPH —OWN CORRESPONDENT] / WELLINGTON, Wednesday All the two-year-old racing prior to tho Wellington meeting pointed to the fact that the juveniles this year were nn average lot, with no outstanding youngster, and the racing duriug the three days has served to confirm that impression. No two-year-old emerged supremo from the meeting and it would seem that tho two best bo far are ,1)0 Wcllesley Stakes winner Enrich and the handicap winner Cetewayo, both of whom raced on the first day only. Both scored decisively and the more comfortable Avin appeared to be that of Cetewavo who ran a fraction of a second faster Jiinn' Enrich. Taking a lino through Black Robe Cetewayo looks pretty good, and, as it was his first race, it is reasonable to nive him more room for improvement than Vnrich, who was having his third start. Black Kobe is a solid filly who stood up <0 three hard races very well; in fact, they imnroved' her, and a race also improved ltinircraft. who should develop still further as the season advances. Absolvo failed to go on with his original promiso at Masterton. and • his wayward behaviour has decided his owner to havo him gelded. Taitama Disappoints Taitama was a completo disappointment and tho others wero moderate to only fair. The Beau Pere colt Kinsman, obviously backward, looks big and strong enough to bo kept in mind for tho back end of tho season. In the meantime Enrich appears to havo Ail excellent chunco of adding to his record in tho Welcome Slakes, unless Doria is equally superior to Wild Fox. Cherry Bay should* also improve. Beaulivre was the outstanding three-yimr-old at the meeting, which was; notable for the successes of horses at that ago. Aflor the race for tho Harcourl Stakes it was remarked.' "Ho is no champion," but tho speaker overlooked tho fact that Beaupartir is a horso of real class. A further factor to bo taken into consideration is that Beaulivro was not quite in tip-top order owing to slight kidney trouble over tine week-end, and ho is also a loafer in hist races. Tho manner in which ho responded to tho call at the critical stage could leave no doubt about his courage, and he looks to havo a mortgago on tho New Zealand Derby. Beaulivre at Middle Distance On tho way he finished at tho end of ten furlongs ho should get tho milo and B-half, especially as tho opposition does not seem strong enough to extend him in the style of Beaupartir. Whether ho will beat Beaupartir their next meeting is an interesting question. Beaupartir appears certain to make moro improvement, as ho hud had only one prior race sinco last Easier,- and the advance of tho season lessens the 1 weight advantago of a three-year-old against tho older horses. Of the three-year-old fillies likely to havo a chanco of, winning the New Zealand Oaks, the form' of the Dunedin Guineas winner Winning Rival was not impressive, but it ' may bo good enough for the opposition next month. C'lassform does not appeal as a stayer, but' Anita Foo and Authoress may be good enough. Submission is off form and in any case is not in the Oaks. New Zealand Cup horses who performed with credit and enhanced their prospects for . the two-mile raco wero Lady Fnrst, who has now gone up to 5.2, Centrepoise, now on 7.11, Arctic King and Yours Truly. Peerless ran a better race in tho Harcotirt Stakes, - and Wagner and Capricious wero finishing on at. tho end of their races. On tho minimum in tho Cup, Capricious, who stays well, may be in tho picture. Sleeveless and Globe Trotter Of tho Stewards' Handicap horses seen st Trentham, Beaulivre will havo to bo given tho palm. Mr. Harnett said on Saturday that, providing all went well, tho colt would be a certain runner in tho Stewards'. Sleeveless and Globe Trotter aro lightweights with distinct possibilities. Globe Trotter is -liable to rehandicap, but even nt the original weights ho meets Sleeveless on Sib. worse terms than on Monday. Density and Rakahanga will have to improve, though neither is without a chanco. Toro Koura' may improve? "Ho raced hero like a horso short of a few gallops. Disdain •was a disappointment. Her track work recently has been brilliant, but sbo failed at •the right end. It would be unwise to dismiss her from calculations, although she is becoming uncertain. Sbo belongs to a family that has,.,done best when strung right up. Tho racing hero may work tho desired improvement. Gay C'hOu is at the top of bis form, although lie might not bo quite brilliant enough for the Stewards' Handicap and may do better later at the meeting over more ground. Sternchase was entered for tho Spring Plate, run at set weight over a mile on the opening day of the New Zealand Cup meeting, but his win at Wellington put him out of and he is now ineligible for that event. Tho South Island won only one race at i the Wellington meeting, the hurdle race on ■ tho second day with Esperancu Bay. Admittedly their representation was smaller than usual, but it was also much weaker. INVPRCARGXLL TROTS acceptances listed ELEVEN 'IN CHIEF EVENT [BY TELEGRAPH —I'RESS ASSOCIATION] INVERCARGILL.
