WHAT OF FREE ADVICE?

Can "Scotty" Bryce's Charge Stand A Four -second Penalty? NOVEMBER HANDICAP RACE REVIEWED (By "The Toff.") Now that Free Advice has got it m the neck over her placed performance at Epsom, be it first or second, she will go slightly out of favor for the November Handicap at Hutt Park on Saturday. Still, what beats her. will win.

IT is a 4.36 class event and Free . Advice has gone back from a 4.35 mark to 60yds. behind. But If what "Scotty" Bryce says about her is true, then McKendrick's filly has a chance because he expects her to reach Cup company shortly. The handicap, however, is the fly In the ointment and it will take all the sting out of the punters. "Truth," at the same time, wishes to impress on readers that Free Advice is good. At the ( last Hutt Park- meeting Jolly Chimes beat all but Pageant, the pair being well clear of the remainder of the field. Now Jolly Chimes is on 4.34. On his previous visit he' was on 4.36 so the twenty-four yards may make a whole lot of difference. Off the end is Marshal Neil, which is one of the -bubble or burst variety. The Wellington trotter, Maxegin, is good enough to beat the pacers if he

stays on his feet, but m all probability they will have him m the air before he has gone a. furlong. From 4.32 Dillon Huon has a chance, but according to Addington talk Golden Bubbles will take a power of beating. She was handed out as a moral certainty at the November Cup meeting, but she did the la-de-do on the mark. That left a nasty taste m the mouths of her supporters and they will probably be a bit cautious about the daughter of Great Audubon at Petone. Of the back- markers The Abbey has the best chance. He might have been a mystery horse once, but not now. Oh, no! Once they get under way Free Advice and The. Abbey should prove worthy opponents for Jolly Chimes and Golden Bubbles. ' ,
