On Tuesday at Matamata he was ! shading Neenah at the completion of a ! useful trial. | Neenah. whose good form at Trentham ■ will claim him an optimistic following. I has been bowling freely in his prepara- , tidn and it will not be on the score of ; condition if he fails to show to advantage 1 here. ! Matamata stables will be strongly repre- | sented in the Waimai Hurdles field, with Ureklaw, Winning Tray and Prince Rewa.
