TAKANINI TRACK

GEANDOEA BEILLIANT FINE EFFORT BY FULL HAND PROUD FOX BEATS TE KAWITI A brilliant six Furlongs by the two-year-old Grant lorn was a feature of the training at Takauiui on Saturday, when the inside grass ' provided excellent ;j;oiiig lor the final gallops for the Avondale meeting. Proud Fox's decisive defeat of Te Kawiti gained him further admirers for the Foley Memorial Handicap, and others to please were Full Hand, Orelio, Air Port, Paiustre and Bachelor King. Queen City (Clark), who sprinted four furlongs, Jack Tnr (Mellroy), who was allotted a solid round at three-quarter pace. Hunting Bee (Green) and Philcourt (Kingj), who wore associated over seven furlongs, worked early and could not be timed owing to fog. Mysito (McTavish) conceded King Louis (Green) two lengths and was travelling very easily alongside him at the end of four furlongs in 50 Mysito worked attractively and gave "the impression that ho. bad a good deal in reserve. Lovaals (Green) took 52 3-5s over the same distance. She looks litMo tho worse for recent exertions, but does not appear to be working quite as well as formerly. Full Hand (Smith) was responsible for an excellent effort, over soven furlongs in 1.27 'l-5. Ho displayed brilliance in running tho first half-mile in 48 3-ss. Tho last six furlongs was run in 1.15. Full Hand hns been infusing a great deal of dash into his work during the past few weeks and has obviously returned to form. i Bronwen Pleases Estro (Hatwell) hit out well over four furlongs in 49 4-ss. Sho is an improved filly who should make her presence felt in minor sprint events at the autumn meetings. Bronwen (Hatwell) was sent a milo and a-lialf at a good pace. Owing to the fact that tho inside grass track is just short of fi mile round, the time, 2.13 3-ss, represents approximately a second and a-lialf less than what, should bo the case. Bronwen pleased by coming homo solidly over tho .last halfmile ill 52 2-58. Venture (Jackson) was going slightly better than Constant Star (McMinn) at tho end of six furlongs in .1.18. Princess Val (Green) and Inver (Coleman) ran tho last four of six furlongs in 53 3-ss, Inver finishing Uio stronger. Proud Fox (Me/lavish) defeated Te Kawiti (Cokcr) by 10 lengths ovor a mile in 1.43 2-5, running the first half-mile in 50 3-5s and tho last six furlongs in 1.10. > Proud Fox was not extended at any stago and was very impressive. G random (Begucly) was brilliant over six furlongs in 1.13 -1-5, running the first two in 23 2-5s and three in 35 2-ss. Grandora lias maintained his form well during the season and, having taken no harm from his recent exertions at Ellerslie, sh"'<ld lnnke a forward showing in the Kursory Handicap at Avondale on Wednesday. Paiustre (Walters), under a good hold, ran the last three of five furlongs in 3Us. Paiustre is looking better than for some time and can bo depended' upon for good efforts at Avondale. Valimeen Sprints Well Vaalso (Smith) and High Sea (Jackson) were together at tho end of soVen furlongs in 1.20 l-ss, after taking 3(>s for the first three and 40s for the first half-mile. High Sea, on tho inside, was going easier than Vaalso at the finish. Orelio (McTavish) hit out with his usual dash over five furlongs in 1.2 the lust three in 37 2-ss. Orelio looks little the worse for recent racing. , Valimeen (Quedley) dashed over five furlongs in 1.3. the last four in 50 2-ss. Valimeen is to contest the Mount Eden Handicap on the second day at Avondale. when she will be ridden by H. Long. Tellsom (Pell) was not asked to do his best while covering four furlongs in 52 2-ss. He was slightly injured at L'aeroa. but has recovered quickly and is in good order. (Bond) strodo over four furlongs in 50s. .. .... Lapidarian (Green) finished two lengths clear of Bronze Trail (Gray) at tho end of six furlongs in 1.10, after running the first three in 30 3-ss. Lapidarian is to contest tho Rosebank.

It was a smart effort. Kraal is an unraced fillv bv Vaals —Marion Acre, and is to make her debut at Whangarei. The progress shown of late has been very encouraging. Bachelor King (Burgess) gave a good display over four fences. Dauber (Burgess) was allotted a similar task, fencing ill. his usual dashing manner, although ho got in a little close to the first fence. " Namara was sent a solid round on the plough, while among others to impress in their work on this track were Flood lulo and Maxam.

Chary (Waddell), who will be required to carry a slb penalty in the Sires' Produce Stakes, sprinted a smart three furlongs in 3i(s.
