SOME SMART EFFORTS ORELIO AND ARVAKUR FIT tellsom displays speed bronwen sprints nicely pleasing efforts over six furlongs by Orelio and Arvakur, over five furlongs bv Tellsom and Bachelor King and over hatf a mile by Bronwen and High Crown were features of the work at I'r.kanmi yesterday. The weather was showery and tl]e middle grass was in excellent order. ' On the gross Princess Val (Green) and jnver (Coleman) were associated over seven furlongs in 1.30, running the last six in j 10 2-5 and the last three in 30 4-oS. Both worked very well. Orelio (McTavish) and Arvakur (Smith) were together at the end of six furlongs in 1.14. There was nothing between them at any stage and the gallop was an impressive one. They went fast early, running • better than 30s for the first three furlongs. Both borses should take sonio beating to-morrow; Tahiti (McjMinn) was not timed over fivo furlongs, but he hit. out well. Vaalso (Smith) was doing a little better than Valamito (McTavish) at the end of a nicely-run mile, the last seven furlongs of which occupied 1.31 3-5. Vaalso is improving. Gaymiss (Thomson 1 ), Dinky Di (Logan) aiiiT an unnamed filly by Gascony (Gray) sprinted " three furlongs, the former pair finishing together in .395, the Gascony filly being a couple of lengths away. Gaymiss and Dinky Di both worked well, particularly the • former, -who appeared as if sho could' have done a good deal better. , Proud Fox (Smith), after getting slightly the better of the start, beat Anion (McTavish) over six furlongs in 1.1 G. Anion made up ground quickly to leud to the threefurlong post in 37 3-ss. but over the con—finding stages 'Proud Fox asserted himself, to score decisively by a length. Proud Fox is greatly improved. Glen Connell (Green) began better than Veritable (light boy) and led him by a length over five furlongs in 1.2 2-5, the last three being run'in 3S 2-ss. Gallop by Pleuron Veritable raced ' disappointingly at the Waikato meeting, where he was unplaced in the Hack Cup. It was his worst effort since he" commenced racing, but it is possible that . it was only a temporary lapse. pieuron sent half a milo froir the five-furlong post to the distance, but was not timed. He must have recorded a fair gallop, however, as, eased , right up, down the straight-- he cantered_ past the winning . post to record 1.1 'l-5 for fivo furlongs. i The Dozer (Logan) was not on a timemßkincr mission while covering a mile and B-quarter, running the last three furlongs in 40 °-o"i and showing anxiousness to increase the pace. The Dozer bears an improved appearance and the manner in which Ins latest victories h&vc been achieved suggests thathe will successfully bridge the gap to opeu company when required. Queen City - (Clark) and Ascot Bloom (Gray) ran half a mite impressively in pO 8.5s Queen City finished on strongly, under ■" a good hold:- She seems to be betfer than ever. Ascot Bloom, who has yet to race, also shaped in encouraging style. . . Grandora (Green) and Gay Movie (Logan) jumped off at the five fur.ong post to run half a mile. Grandora finishing a couple of lengths clear in .19s. and went on to complete five in 1.1. Grandora is a stylish galloper who did not race up to expectations at Avondale. He may do better on Monday, when i he will be ridden by T. Green. Gay Movie was not very impressive. Hunting Bee (Thomson) and \aalsstar (Bartle) were together at the end 01. six fur- " longs in 1.1 (J 2-5. the last five being run in 1.3 3-5. The former, on the outside, was going particularly well at the end. and seems improved with recent racing, although she / has vet to show the form expected of her '.in public. Vaalsstar is looking well, but was -not seen to advantage at Avondale. An Attractive Effort Bachelor King (Thomson) and Tellsom (Green) were responsible for an attractive five furlongs in 1.1 4-5. running the first two in 255. Bachelor King got a length the best of the start and had a good deal the better of toe weights, but Tellsom was holding him • and the Vaalsi—Trans- ■ aeJion filly (Spinley). hit out in dashing style orer two furlongs in 25 2-ss, upon winch both coaid have improved. These youngsters have made rapid progress of late, and are shaping up nicely. _ . Palustre (Long), after running the first four in 49 2-ss, completed five furlongs in 1.2 2-5. In spite of an enforced let-up recently, Palustre has come to hand quickly and appears to have reached her best again. She should be ready to race well on Monday. Tip. Toes (Walters) jumped off at the. seven furlong post and ran four furlongs in a 0 1-5:. the last three in 37 l-ss. She is looking very well, aid is to race at the Waipa meeting next month. , . _ Bronwen (Hatwell) . and High Crown (Spinley) were responsible for an excellent . effort over. four , furlongs in 49 l-ss. _Bronwen was going very nicely at the finish, ana t Hisrh Crown shaped well for a novice. -Saccone (Spinley) worked over a mile and a-half, Buccaneer (Hatwell) working in front over the last round, the pair joining up.to ' run home the last half-mile in 50s. Both are looking better than ever and should race well " in immediate engagements. - Noisy (Walters) and Wynardo / (Myers) set out in a, schooling boat over four fences, but Wynardo's" rider lost an iron after jumping the first fence and he was pulled up, afterward completing the task alone. iSolsy Night continued on to give a dashing display, and is to make his debut on Saturday, when he will be ridden by C. Walters. On the plough, Paddy the Rip (Logan) and Norse Lady (Gray) were given strong work, increasing the pace over the last four furlongs in 545,. Paddy the Rip again working nicely io shade his companion, and "give the impression that he could have done "better. Effort, by Flood Tide Flood Tide (Green) ran the . last six of *even furlongs in 1.1(5 4-5. He is very well, and it will not be for the lack of condition if he fails to make a bold showing in the Alison.Cup. Another Cup candidate in Birthday Boy was not extended while running seven furlongs in 1.37 3-5. the last five furlongs faking 1.7 3-5. Danber (Bartle), Lad.v Fox (Kingi) and Philcourt (Thomson) worked over a couple of rounds steadily until reaching the three furlong post on each occasion runn.'njr hom« from this disc. In the first effort they re- ' corded 10 3-ss, and the second timii 30 4-.»s Dauber and Lady Fox both worked better than Philcourt who was not particularly impressive. i ■ ...
