THE MINOR EVENTS

Highweight And Anniversary At Trentham

Mint Leaf, though giving great promise m the early spring, bag not raced up to expectations.

HE has been, however/near the right cash more than once, and is certainly burly enough to be suited by high -weight conditions. When it Is realized that he was up second m a race like the Queen's Plate mile at Bllerslle with, -Tinbkoa, Alloway, Haze, Pegaway, Stormy, AJrcheno and others of that class behind him, he certainly seems particularly, well placed m the opening event at Trentham. ■ '-''>-. Alaric, Kilmiss, Bennanee, Wedding March, Outfit and Son of Mine are all winners. 1 Mint Leaf, however, should defeat

the lot, with Alarlc perhaps one of the! hardest to dispose ; of. "The Anniversary HandicapVthla yea? has not. drawn a great ..lot, and In a _mall field, on the strength, of hit* second to Civility over nine furlongs at Awapuni it would seeni Infenjo only has to behave reasonably weU at thai Barrier to have a great show. ;. Decoy Bird "may Improve with his Ellerslie racing, while Rascal/Penman and Centrepiece will all claim attention. „ r It is up to Rascal to get one, and perhaps if Inferno misbehaves himself this three-year-old will take out.
