SPRINT AT EPSOM

HANDICAPPER’S PROBLEM

The mile dash, with its short 2.13 limit, has drawn a number of the Dominion’s speediest horses, and the handicapper has set backers a solid problem to solve. THE Cornwall Handicap will doubtless provide the “other leg” for the first day’s card, and a great field of sprinters promise to face the starter. The cracks. Great Bingen and Jewel Pointer, are placed on 2.9 and if they were back to the top of their form, would keep those further out pretty bU oV the limit brigade, the form of Harvest Child and Tony Victor stands out in bold relief and unless the Australian pacer Steel All has come right, they' are the pick of the end division. Harvest Child has been a consistent performer this season and at the Dunedin May' fixture he won the mile dash in rare ‘style. Tony Victor has done well over short courses latterly ana must be kept in with. Such a brilliant beginner as All Bell will make it interesting from the 12-yard maik. and Brentloc, Dnlmeny. Nelson Tasker and Vesuvius are all possibilities from the same peg. If Daphne tie OroisOk again she would be a nuisance lrom the ■’ ll mark, but there is a speedy 10. just behind her. Cardinal Logan can iiij ;i merry niile and Dun das Bo v possesses rare sprinting ability, while Gold jacket should be in tune for this distance. Then there is Native Prince and Padlock, who can turn on the speed tap to some tune while Kohara can unwind the spool with the best of them. Great Bingen and Jewel Pointer will add interest to the afLan, but U quartet to be early favoured will be Cardinal Logan, Dundas Bay. Harvest Child and Gold Jacket.
