This Is His Opportunity

|T matters not whether Aussie misses th<_ Railway — George Paul's gelding has only to get through the sprint m safety to be the actual favorite for the mile King's Plate, run on the second day at Ellerslie. Aussie proved he could go the distance safely when he played with the opposition, put m front, m the self-same race twelve months back. This is one of the opportunities afforded when the handicapper can be dodged. It Js at -the weight-for-age scale that Aussie meets his opponents, and, at the time of writing* it does not seem that a three-year'-ol.dl can be unearthed which will cause him trouble over the journey. As for the older horses engaged, Aussie should run a mile' at even poundage with the best that can be produced. '■ u 'iniii>iiiiimiiniiniiiiniiimiuiiiiii , ii„-.ii^
