BRILLIANT NATIVE STAR

She Should Shine In The Rowe Trotting Cup

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Auckland Representative). Taking a look at the Rowe Trotting Cup list one is faced with i the names of some of the finest competitors of the square-gaited variety that could be assembled anywhere m New Zealand.

WITH a 4.35 limit the speediest m the country are given a chance to collect .and the bunch that will turn on the gas next Thursday should do so m a spectacular manner. It does not appear as though any on the limit will stall off some asked to do better time, though Kempton has been noised about as something with the necessary toe. He cleaned up Sister Beatrice and Elzear early this season, but ; ' meeting them on 24 and 12 yards respectively worse terms* he will need to be. really gbod to top them off again. On Waikato running, Rose Bingen has not a greaj deal .m: her favor and should she win. it will be ; a huge reversal,* for her form there was not first-class. Betty Moko may not be ready -to

stand a solid two miles, but Trampfast and Young Blake should be tuned to the knocker and will hand out all kinds of beating. That . bonnie mare, Native Star, is another that can go and with an5 r thing m the way of luck m the running will be m the picture throughout and close up at the all-important part. They are setting Peterwah a job and if he fails to be handy m the big go he will find his task just as severe amongst his own kind. Ngatira : and Tiger Salve will (go solid all the way and they will need to go fast into the bargain. Napland is uncertain and may not keep down. The inclination will be ; to favor Native Star, Sister Beatrice and Tomkinson's bracket.
