Handicap good
guide to Cup (
By " CHEVELEY " |
Quite Talk, one of seven acceptors for both the Rivcrsdalc Han
dicap at Caulfield tomorrow and the Sandown Cup at Flemington on
Easter Monday, should win tomorrow's event.
Quite Talk is- prepost
iavorne lor me sanaown
Cup.
Durham. Hoyle. Gay Felt.
Gunshot. Unfuan and
Ipliiclcs arc the others en
gaged in both races.
Weights arc similar in
both events, so the Rivers-
dale should be a good guide
for Easter Monday's rich
handicap.
The winner ol the Riv
crsdalc is not liable to re-
handicaa for the Cuu.
CUP P LACINGS
! Quite Talk was placed in
the Moonee Valley Cup and
Willlanistown Cup in the
spring, and after chasing
Morse Code home in the
Eclipse Stakes at Caulfield
In November, was given a
spell
Quite THJk resumed in
Tarien's race at Caulfield
ast month After failing
in the Bourkc Handicap, he
showed a glimpse of form
when third to Hardwa.v In
the Farewell Handicap at
Flemington.
He further improved to
run second to Hydrogen in
the Alister Clark Slakes at
the Valley last Saturday.
Quite Talk is now at his
top. and should be hard to
bcHt with 8.6 tomorrow. He
drops In 8.4 in the San
down Cup
IMPROVING
Duma in also is improv
ing with racing. He did
well when third to Happy
Medium in the Morningion
Cup on Wednesday. The
1 miles of the Riversdale
will be more to Durham's
liking than the 10 furlongs
of the Cup.
Ipliiclcs is a possibility
with his light weight and
R. Hutchinson as his rider.
Hoyle. the veteran of the
field has had only two runs
since his busy spring cam
paign when he failed He
still has some dash and
mav be freshened up by
his two recent runs.
Gay Fell looks bright,
but does not appear to be
near his lorm of the spring.
Gunshot is on the Im-
prove. but Dusky Jewel,
who won stylishly at Wer-
rlbcc. did not shape well
behind Hardway at Flem
ington.
GOOD RUN
Showday lived up to ex
pectations at Flemington.
and his win indicates he
may improve because he
lias some ability over a dis
tance.

Mare in line
! for hat-trick
By "CHEVELEY"
Penny Dale has struck winning form since
i coming from Adelaide, and her apprentice
j jockey, J. Laird, is having a good run of suc-
i cess.
i The combination has
a great chance of com
pleting the hat-trick by
winning the Mentone
Handicap at . Caulfield
tomorrow.
Penny Dale is not en
gaged In the Victoria
Handicap at Flemington on
Easter Saturday, out many
of her rivals tomorrow will
(be on trial for that race,
j There is no Dcnalty in-
! volvcd for the Victoria
Handicap.
Penny Dale, aitei being
unplaced behind Winlake
at Kyneton last month,
showed much better form
to win at Werrlbee and
Moonee Valley.
HAS SPEED
She has a lot of speed
and Laird's allowance to
morrow will give her a
good chance again.
Rotate appeals more
than his stablemate Kin-
tail. because of his recent
glimpse of form when
runner-up to Bold Adven
ture at Flemington this
month
Rotate, with a good bar-
rier and a handy weight
may turn the table on
Bold Adventure who has
I been drawn wide.
1 Jamboree is a last start
winner, although that wasi
in January. He won ovcrj
the Mentone distance at
Caulfield with 8.7. the
same weight as he has I
tomorrow
i WORKS WELL
Usage. Pure Fire and Su
Dallas will represent F W
Hoysted. but they do not
appear to have a chance
of winning tomorrow, al
though Pure Fire is sprlnt-
tng well again after a spell.
Empiric has done well
since he resumed racing at
Flemington this month,
j Bytact is smart and con
sistent. but likes a longer
distance than six furlongs
