Samson has been racing against some of the best horses: in Australia recently.

Court -Stepper has been beating middle-class gallopers. -his last1 start, at Moonee Valley on August 20, Court Stepper. easily beat Boeing Boy and Osborne Manor.

The gelding also did well at his previous start to finish third to Tobin Bronze and hitting defender, recruited from Tasmania-It will be his first full game this season, but he played in two matches last year. Barry Davis did everything asked of him by ESSEN-DON'S selectors. "I didnt have a moment's anxiety and I'm confident my knee will carry me through the final without any worry," Davis said after completing his training run. "I have no doubts about Barry being fit," coach John Coleman said.

Wingman Russell Blew was put through a test, but was ruled unfit by the club doctors. Forsyth, who was 19th man in the first semi-final, got his chance when selectors decided that a reshuffle was necessary to cover the loss of half-Mr-ward Ian Payne. Forsyth was picked for a back pocket and second ruck positions Charlie Payne filled in the first semi-final. Charlie Payne will line up on a half-back flank in place of Alec Epis, who has been shifted to a wing. Epis played on a wing in last year's grand final against St.

St. Kilda made three changes, Jim Read was picked to play on a wing, Alan Davis won promotion as second rover, and John Bmgley waa named on a hall-back flank.

Davis fit Essendon decided only one change was necessary after hall-back flanker Barry Davis had proved he was no longer handicapped by a knee injury. Big follower Jim Forsyth replaced Ian Payne, who is on the sidelines Because of a broken bone in his foot. ST. KILDA officials and Jeans denied last night that there was anything wrong with Stewart. Jeans said Stewart was neither ill nor injured.

"Ian stayed away under orders from me because I feel the rest will help to keep him fresh for Saturday's game," he said. He has had a hard season and his recent illness, did not help matters." New rover est. tuiaa naa to mane two replacements because of injuries to wingman Ross Oakley and follower Des Kennedy, and selectors have tried to do something about the roving weakness, evident in last week's semi-final. Rover Ian Rowland disappointed against Collingwood and has been dumped. Picking 17-year-old Alan Davis to replace him is an experiment.

Last week Davis came on as 20th man when Oakley was hurt and picked up kicks with a fair degree of assurance as a wingman. His best display this season was when he filled in for Darrel Baldock at centre half-forward, and surprised everyone by being close to don't be Stewards have adjourned again their inquiry the analyst's report on a urine sample taken from True Tittle at Caulfleld on September 3.

Davis has been picked In eight games this year, Including five times as a reserve. By picking Read to replace Oakley on a wing selectors decided that a combination of ability and experience was the best bet. Selectors know that Read will not be overawed by the big occasion, and they are hoping he will be able to recapture the good form he showed in most of the first 10 games. Read then suffered a knee Injury and after that his form fell away, i Bingley rugged The decision 'to break up the half-back line so that Daryl Griffiths could become a ruck rover led to the inclusion of Bingley. Griffiths has played as a ruck rover In five games this season.

Tomorrow he will line up with Brian Mynott and change on a half-forward flank with Barry Breen. Bingley, 24, 6 ft. 1 in. and 12 st. 10 lb.

Aldis, centre-half for Ringwood Wilhelmina filayed 10 seasons for Eng-ish First Division team Aston Villa, and won an F. A.

Cup winner's medal in 1957. He polled 30 votes to win the "Argus" trophy by one vote from Steven Walker, of Essendon-Llons. Aldis played only 17 with Ringwood this season, but polled votes in 13 of them. He began playing with Aston Villa in the 1051-62 season and, except for a cartilage operation in the 19S2-S3 season, was a regular member of the first team, playing more than 400 games. Emigrated Aldis emigrated to Australia in February 1964 with his wife and two children and played two seasons with leading State League side, Port Mel-bourne-Slavia.

He transferred to Ring-wood after five games this season. i Aldis gained his Cup winner's medal' when Aston Villa defeated Manchester United 2-1 In 1957.

.4 I But bookmakers have framed a tight market, with only three points separating the' first four horses in the betting. Matariki Is a point longer at 3's with General Command at 4's and Shakedown 61. The Rosehill Guineas is the first major staying test for Sydney top 'three-year-olds and is of the greatest significance to prospects in the AJC Derby and Caulfteld Cup. Ace Jockey George Moore, who is first jockey to Smith's stable, provides the main feature of early discussions. Garcon has won at his last six starts and Moore has been the gelding's jockey for the last three wins.

This includes the Canterbury Guineas win from Shakedown and Auto Filou on September 3. The Canterbury Guineas is over nine furlongs and 80 yards. Despite the form record of Garcon and the gelding's popularity in the early betting, Moore has switched to Matariki. Comparison Moore has also booked himself for Matariki In the AJC Derby.
