C, Autumn April B—Australian8 — Australian T.C. Thousand. Easter trots at Addington to-day. Trainers have been busy oti the Metrop. truck all the week., Michael Galindo is picked as an unlikely starter m the Autumn Handicap. Hamapuka, who was scratched for the mile saddle on the first day at Addington and is nominated for a similar event on Saturday, is going well and putting up good time m his track work. Emmeline and Emilius were brought down from Ashburton on Monday. The former is full of her old dash and clipped off a mile In 2.12 3-5 without effoi;t. She . should prove equal to chewing up the six seconds m her event on the first day. ' Chub has been showing 1 up well over, a mile "and a half lately, but tires after that. He is # ln 2-mile engagements both' days at;' Addington. Oh the/ handicaps, Scotch Mist, on 8 sees., has about a plus one chance m the first race at Addington on Thursday, t Imperial Perfection and Bright ; Alice" appear to be on next best terms. i Adventuress is said" to be rather sorei Nevertheless, she should be worth watching m the Autumn Handicap. - Huon Drift is moving along freely and appears to be a more reliable starter^ now than previously. it has been stated that Aberfeldy will be retired after the present meeting at Addington. He's earned his rest, although it's not at. all unlikely that he'll improve his list at this meeting. He's done two miles m 3.39 and m the Easter Handicap is taking 4sec. from Wallace Wood, whose time for the v distance is 4.37 3-5. It is improbable that Calm will go to the post la his best nick, despite the efforts bestowed on him by his trainer. Yarravjlle was worked at Addington on Tuesday and showed a great .burst of speed. ' , , , Imperial Perfection, the New Brighton Derby candidate, was -worked . quietly at Addington during the week and shows clean, easy action. Adonis, Master Raymond and Jack Ashore will take some separating m the big race at Addington. ' Brown Bell has disappointed her following for a long while. Perhaps sho's not due until the fine weather breaks. Noticeable that Submarine has been pulled out of tho first day's events. Gladsome is nominated for the second day. • ;■' ■ „. .>.' ■'. Lincoln Junior looks well m the Express Handicap at Addington. Andy Regan also is. on a plus one mark. Winsoon, the New Zealand Cup winner, has been put into work again at Ashburton, after a long spell. The Metrop. Trotting Club will give thenett profit ot the Autumn Handicap to the Belgian Fund. V The Yankee mare Bonny Jenny is up for: sale. >She has already done -well and may Improve her value at the ourrent meeting. Lady Theckla looks well and will be troublesome ta more than one m the B'lylng Handicap at Addington. On the handicaps, King V. has a big say m the Fendalton Handicap. Lord Elmo worked well over six fur - longß at Addington the other day and looks capable of big things. , Annie, K. doesn't seem to da a distance without, breaking, although it was reported .that the defect had been mastered.
