Working Well Gay Rosette has been working along pleasingly in preparation for her engagement in the Te Awamutu Cup this week and it will not be on the score or condition if she rails to give or her best. The Whirlwind mare has previously performed well on the Waipa course and on the minimum she looks to possess good prospects. Laughing Fox While he railed at Wic recent Auckland gathering Laughing Fox did not have the lih-t nr luck iri the running and that performance therefore should not be held Lx> strongly against him. Sinre then he i na-i been working well and lie will disappoint if he rails to rare prominently in i the apprentices’ race at Te Awamutu this ; »rok.

The three-year-old daughter of v.'ials and Hunting Moss is to contest the. Waipa Plate mi Saturday and interest wili attach to her showing. Handily Placed Penzance was responsible for a dashing display when -he finished brilliantly on the rails in the open sprint on the latter day at Kllerslie the other week to achieve a narrow victory over Cambria and Foxola. in the interim she has maintained her condition well and she wiii have every opportunity on Saturday to extend her account in the Flying Handicap at Te Awai rnutu in which she is handily placed with | 7.0. | Deceptive Lady Acushla has been working attractively "on the tracks at Ellerslie but to ! date cfi C has failed on race day to reproI duce the promise that her work gives her connect ions. As she becomes solid she may . | make some amends. I In Good Heart. Odtaa ran good races at the recent Ellers- ; lie meeting and as he appears to be fur- ! liter benefited by racing be will strip in ! great heart when'called upon to race again, j lie is an acceptor for the Hack Cup at Te ; Awamutu and he will be assured of an ' optimistic following for all his 9.3.

He disappointed at the last Auck- ; land meeting but lias since been working . ! stylishly. Waipa Plate Prospect gir Reynard will claim hi? Tull measure of support in the waipa Plate. Lnlucky to be beaten on the first day at Ellerslie over six furlongs under the steadier or I !».u he reads nicely placed with 8.2 over >aturday's six and* a-hair furlongs. The Hat Trick The feature of the racing at Woodvllle • was tbc success of liorses carrying the 'colours of Mr F. Ormond. They brought , "IT the hat-trick and each or the winners ' was trained and ridden by B. 11. Morris. I Yogi, an Auckland Clip candidate, took the principal event, the Gothard Handicap, Kol Ji-ingi the Juvenile Handicap and Burra sahib the -Railway Handicap, and it was a ' coincidence all three, winners should Ibe second Tavourites on tbc win machine, j At Woodville i Several of the maiden performers at Woodville on Saturday had not been seen nfucli in public. Nignean is a three-year--1 old lllJ.v by I.ackham from the Kilbroney j mare Piuthair, whose previous progeny bad not approached anything like her own | class. Ilamish is a four-year-old gelding ■ by Gascony from Kotou, by .Night Raid J from Courtesy. Polario is a three-year- : old colt by J’lialeron Bay from Artistry jby Leighton.

When Beau i Loon finished third last year to Beau Yitc I and Old Bill he had ?. i, or sib under j weight-for-age, and this time he has exi aclly his scale weight. In the contest last year he. was not handled with the best of I judgment, arid, in view of being greatly i improved this season there is every reason to anticipate that he will play a prom- ; lin exit pan in the finish. I.ou Rosa is nicely ! placed with 8.3, or lilb under weighl-I'or- • | age. I*i spite or his failure in the Aurk- ; ' land. Cup with 7.1 A, lie proved one or the 1 ; best slaying three-year-olds last season. 1 j He has been unplaced in Jive starts this : season, but Ls reported to be progressing • well and bis connections are hopeful rej garding his prospects.
