FROM THE NORTH

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Auckland Rep.) DILLY CARBINE is not done with yet. Be a bit on his side next week. * * * The Peterwah -Princess Ena colt at Epsom has many admirers. • # # The mere fact that Peter Riddle is 'bringing: Sheik ami Co. across from Sydney will cause them to come m for support. Peter knows they are hard to win once here these days. # # * The twenty-two-year-old. Wimmera King, is, booked for competition during the holidays. Never too old. evidently. # # * He deserves a race with Caberley If he can get one. # *- * Wrigley may be more than a possibility. ,# # * Roez will cause a scatter if Otahuhu form is reproduced. * # # The Shrew is all right, tout perhaps not so great as some people believe. She can be respected up north. • • * Peter M-cKlnney's speed is not everything. He 'does the Charleston occasionally. # * * Uncle Bert's -work is again m order. • • • If Waikaha does not catch a heat next week, northerners will go into mourning. • • * Hue Coranado is slick over short courses, fbut is sometimes erratic. # * # Everybody knows Escapade is. a great trotter at his best. # # <* It is not- that Waikaha has speed to spare, but rather that he knows not how to break, which makes him a popular spec. * # # Hoon Hay has won at Epsom m the Past and "Ossie" Hooper usually gets some of the northern chips. # # # It is common property that Machine Gun went his last mile m about 1.8 when he won last start at Alexandra Park. Factl • • ft Sheik is good at his best and once went faster m a race than his handicap. • # « If Nelson Tasker is solid he has his show off 12 yards m the mile and aquarter St. Hellers. * * • Lady Ena is again m commission up north. # # # Punters! Have a good look at Native Prince when Riddle strips him. This is the candidate .which won some boodle for Rokkjer at Epsom a few seasons back. * * * Bingen Boy Is a southern winner due to come north for next week. • • • Bill Clifton will try to knock the 1 "iffer" Moko Pete into shape. •• • • They say Rose Bingen Is coming ■back. If she does, look out for her among the trotters. • • • Wherever Explosion la stepped out, be prepared for him to make a bold bid. * * * Northerners know all about Native Star, which won recently at the Hutt. # # # King Pointer will not be neglected. ## . # Happy Rosa is coming a long way from Australia for the big fixture. .# * # Some think Tom Thumb has a show m the Cup, but he will have to go hard to get there. * # * Great Bingen at his best is "within range on a 78 yards mark. . # * • Punters . will . certainly get Jewel Pointer's real strength m the Auckland Cup. The money is right if he can get there. He may, too, but is set his toughest task to date. • # • Machine Gun boasts the right name to take the big money. • • • "Great Actress may be the one punt for the ladies.
