FOR THE SECOND LEG

Paganelli's Bright Prospects In The Cheltenham

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Auckland "Representative.) The best sprinter engaged at Takapuna — and probably one of the best m the Dominion — is Aussie.

BUT Aussie has quite enough poundage m the Cheltenham Handicap to hamper the best of 'em. It is just possible that he will bo found out if he strips for the second leg of the Takapun^, double on opening day. It is one course where speedy beginners of the calibre of Paganelli and High Finance should shine, but just whether they will beat themselves remains to be proved. • Should it come to one of the pair caving m, High Finance will probably.be the one to cry enough. I Nancy Lee is m such great heart

that she must be looming up towards the close, while Dave comes ifresh from country victories to gitfe lt an honost go. Archeen may be a wet-weather proposition. Waltzer may not be good enough while Nastori at her best can make matters merry. Xutomne may be referred to as a possibility only, but Major Abbey will need to have improved vastly to win m the class. The small nature of the field may suit Aussie, but it really looks like Paganelli to most followers of the game.
