OAMARU TROTS.

Cup Horses in Action on Monday. SOME GOOD FIELDS. The presence of eleven trotting cup candidates at the Oamaru Trotting Club’s meeting gives the function a real metropolitan flavour, and the test of merit is supplied by ten of them over a mile and a quarter, and the effort of Indianapolis in the principal two-mile race will encourage numerous enthusiasts to visit the popular* course. The track is bearing a rich sole of grass, and reports to hand state that it has never been in better order. Betting will be on the single pool principle and three dividends. p.m. IMPROVERS’ HANDICAP, of 135 sovs. Class 3.49. One mile and a half. Ann Parrish scr Sylvia Moko scr Bitter Sweet scr Sonoma King- 24 Coreopsis scr Margaret Discord scr Parrish 36 Little Reta scr Prince Master Wrack scr Harvester 36 Travis Kotinga 72 Pringle scr Recent form suggests that Discord will race prominently in the Improvers’ Handicap, for which Prince Harvester is likely to be also in strong demand. Durbar Lodge has a promising novice in Bitter Sweet. Then there is Sonoma King. When the machine :s closed, Prince Harvester, Discord and Sonoma King may be fancied. 12.45 p.m. TRIAL HANDICAP, of 135 sovs. Class 3.43. One mile and u half. Almont Cling scr Self scr Carageen scr Sylvie’s Best scr Cavalcade scr Wild Wrack scr Danzie Guy scr Captain Heath 12 Floodlight scr Starvale 12 Gold Salute ser Battlefield 24 Iraq scr Llewellyn's Pet 24 Paragon scr Moana Tama 2 4 Sage King s*:r Thornworthy 21 Sea Trail scr Drag Harlan 36 Shandon Irish Peach 36 Chimes scr .V,idshipipaid 48 The Trial Handicap promises to bring about a clash of the three Addington-trained novices in Iraq, Paragon and Carageen. This trio is held in high regard by track-watchers at headquarters. If Shandon Chimes happened to leave the mark kindly she would be conspicuous. Then on 24yds is Moana Tama, so in what appears to be a hard race to win Iraq, Paragon and Llewellyn’s Pet may do j best. 1.25 p m. DASH HANDICAP, of 160 sovs. Class 2.58. One mile and a quarter. Adsum ser Holden Dollar 12 Bide-a-Wee scr Jimmy de Oro 12 Dundee ser Quita 12 Guy Mauritius scr Royal Escort 12 Wise Guy ser Llewellyn's Camera 12 Pride 24 Cnlene Parrish 12 Dundee will go out a hot favourite for the Dash Handicap, and on what he has shown in private he should be difficult to beat. Wise Guy is a useful pacer, and Guy Mauritus can be depended upon to go well over a mile and a quarter. 2.10 p.m. OAMARU HANDICAP, of 500 sovs. Class 4.30. Two miles. A ret h usa scr Harvest Child 12 Huon Voyage ser Pegaway 24 Master Roy scr Kingcraft 3 6 Trampfast scr Indianapolis 48 vermis 12 Mr G. J. Barton’s horses, Iluon Voyage and Indianapolis will be in deman J in the Oamaru Handicap. Just whether Indianapolis will be considered forward enough in his cup preparation to do justice to his supporters is a moot point. Pegawav should go well, so will Harvest Child and Trampfast, and when speculators make known their choice Trampfast. Harvest Child and Pegaway may be among them. 2.55 p.m. WAITAKI HANDICAP, of 165 sovs. Class 3.44. One mile and a half. Chudlelgh scr Header 24 Prince Kotlhga 24 Harvester scr Hilly gundy 36 Sonoma King ser Modem Lady '36 'Uiimi'ng Wrack 2 4 Norma Bingen 36 Flotsam 24 Gyrate 84 Recent form favours Modern Lady and Norma Bingen in the Waitaki Handicap. Both mares have shown vast improvement, so has Flotsam, and this trio promises to carry the bulk of the investments. 3.40 p.m. I ELECTRIC HANDICAP, of 200 sovs. Class 2.13. One mile. ! Gunfire scr ve~t Child 12 [ Nelson de Oro scr Peter Locanda 12 Colonial Boy 12 Pegaway 2 1 ■« ga imur 12 Sunny Morn 24 Craganour should go well in the Electric Handicap, so will Somerby. Peter Locanda, Pegaway and Sunny Morn. In all probability Sunny Morn. Pegaway and Peter Locanda command most attention. 4.25 p.m. RIG DC AST LB HANDICAP, of 165 sovs. Class 3.34. One mile and a half. Bide-a-Wee scr Quita scr I Camera scr Royal Escort scr «'-dene Parrish scr Compass 12 Dundee scr Guy Junior 12 Golden Dollar ser Llewellyn's Green man tie scr Pride 24 jimmy de Oro scr Dollie Derby 4 8 Dundee also figures in the Redcastle Handicap. If he is reserved for this race he will be accorded liberal support. Greenmantle will offer stern resistance. and Guy Junior will also be troublesome. 5.10 p.m. WESTON HANDICAP. of 300 sovs. Class 2.4 4. One mile and a quarter. Blue Mountain scr Kollo 2 4 Sir Guy scr Satin King 2 4 Sunnv Morn scr Red Shadow 60 Mountain Dell 12 Roi l’Or 60 Silver de Oro 12 Harold Logan 84 The club is reverting to the single pool totalisator, 70, 20 and 10 per cent. Silver de Oro reads well in the Weston Handicap, so does Mountain Dell. Blue Mountain and Sunny Morn. If Satin King was near his best he would go out favourite. Then there is Harold Logan, who is in great heart. Summed tip. Silver de Oro. Harold Logan and Mountain Dell may carry most money LIKES HEAVY GOING. Sonoma King has raced badly in his last four but is due to showimproved form at Oamaru. He has onh r to repeat his best form to effect a surprise. He has shown a liking for heavy going. * s>t 0: * Discord trotted at Methven as if she would soon win a race. She is a sister to Resound, and is engaged in the Novice Trotters’ event at Oamaru on Monday. At Methven, Discord began like a train, and never put a foot wrong, being close up at the finish.
