CONCLIFF STRIKES FORM

BRILLIANT WORK-OUT DUNEDIN CUP FAVOURITE When Concliff ran second to Peterwah in the Summer Cup on the second day of the Auckland Christmas fixture, he gave his best display for the season over the two-mile journey. His form on that occasion suggested that the ex-Australian pacer might yet come right, and prove that he is the good horse his friends across the Tasman consider him. A PLEASING TRIAL Advice received by “Abaydos” from Christchurch this morning, from an authentic source, demonstrates that the son of Childwood and Barmaid is fast returning to his best form. At Addington on Saturday, in company with that good pacer Logan Park, Concliff ran two miles in great style, registering 4.26. Both horses finished practically on terms, and as a result of the excellent work-out, Concliff

has supplanted Terence Billon as favourite for the Bunedin Cup on Friday. POWERFUL COMBINATIONS The meeting between Concliff and Terence Billon at Forbury Park 'will be full of interest, while each is as-

sociated with a powerful bracket. W. J. Tomkinson is represented by Concliff and Logan Park and J. Hender-

son has Terence Billon and Balnahine engaged. Backers of these combinations will have a good run for their money. TROTTING FIXTURES Forbury Park T.C.—Jan. 27, 28.
