AWAPUNI CANDIDATES FOR LING MEMORIAL IN SOME USEFUL GALLOPS

PALMERSTON N., Last Night (Sp) - —Nine of the 19 horses accepted for 1 in the Ling Memorial Handicap, main 1 race at Otaki, are from Awapuni, and < their final work indicates that they • are in great order for Saturday’s race. Imperial is a grand track worker, and he and his stablemate, Ngakoti,' were not ridden out to run a mile in j 1.47 3-5. Their 40 3-5 for the last ■ three was taken as the guide to later : gallops on the plough.

Britovite appeared to be giving away some weight to follow suit over a mile on the grass in 1.43 3-5. They were home in 38 3-5 and it was one of the best trials of the morning. Britovite was on the inner and he was not required to do his best. Battle Strife, which finished fnst at .Stratford after striking a patch of going he could not handle, worked by himself over seven on the plough. The pace was steady early but he was given his head for the last three in 39 2-5. He is not without a chance at Otaki, where he will be ridden by J. Garth. Waiomoko (Aitken' was under restraint at the finish of five on the plough in 1.5 2-5, the last three in 40. Clever Boy, Beauform and Divided ran seven in 1.37 1-5 and were home particularly well. Sayani and Chip were among the first to work on the trial with Sayani under pressure to shade Chip. They ran lhe last three in 38. Night Charm, an acceptor for the Highweight at Otaki. worked really well over seven in 1.32 1-5. Pick-Up ran seven in 1.35 2-5 but was home fast in 37. Hazaan, though ridden out, was still going strongly at the end of five in 1.2 4-5, the last three in .36. Emerge, Offender and Ngarobi, from L. Dulieu’s stable, were in line alter a splendid mile in 1.44 and they ran the last, three in .38 2-5. Emotional was keen to go away from the five but was kept under restraint by V. J. Sellars and was not required to do better than 39 2-5 for lhe last three. Nakura worked over five and was home solidly in 37 4-5. Jangada, looking none the worse for his winning effort at Stratford, worked aj an even pace except, for the last throe of seven in .39 2-5. Galway Bay was to have worked with Hobo oxer a mile on the plough but she did not like that track and later she was taken over on to the grass, where she ran the last six in 1.21 2-5.
