Wild Ore won at Te Rapa and was only a neck behind Hun to in the Wairakau Hack at Te Arolia last Monday. Incidentally the time for that seven was the samn as in 'itlie Piako Handicap, won 'by Foxsen.

j Wildore Lady Acushla Kakarere PUNI HURDLES One mile and 5 furlongs. Chang 11.2; Glen Abb 10.3; Geltic Lad 9.12; Bachelor King 9.7; Cappy 9.5: Orient Dawn, Torcii, Enjoyment. Teddy Boy Mai de Mer,

Rajanya. Noisy Night, Ivlio Gee.erale Melvanui 9.0. The appearance of Clung, who will be remembered for his sensational Avin at Te Aroha some years ago, is as much a surprise as that win was. Glen Abb is entitled to solid support after his effort at Te Aroha and Celtic Lad is likely have improved with recent racing. Bachelor King has been schooling well. Mai de Mer and Mia Generate are the best of the remainder and public selection may be Glen Abb Celtic Lad Bachelor King BOMBAY HANDICAP Six furlongs Abbey King 9.0; British Talent 8.12; Norse Lady 8.6; Gold Spot 8.4; Whenua 8.2; Venture, Clansman, Pop Eye, Elise, Siwell* Royal Blend, Surpass, King Fern, African, Rosevaals, Augment, Red Falcon Classical Song, Kingcraft, Clinch, Sardue, Acanora, Beyana, Hackenschmidt, Golden Tom 7.13. On the score of recent performances, those likely to show up in this event are Whenua Norse Lady B.ritish Talent . FRANKLIN CUP ' One mile and a quarter. Our Jean 8.12; Lady Montana 8.8; Valmint 8.5; Jack Tar 8.5; Mintlaw 8.4; Racecamp 8.4; Cornish 8.2: Philcourt 8.1; Kelly 8.1; Pocket Venus 7.9; Sac-cone 7.5; High Delight 7.7; Mon Acre 7.3; Perillus,! High Sea, Land Girl, Poland 7.0 ; This race will probably find an upset in bettors' calculations. Our Jean has every chance and Lady Montana cannot be denied although she has failed to show up in her latest races. Valmint has been train ing well, and with the easing of the tracks will shortly come into his own. Jack Tar, Racecamp, Mintlaw and Cornish are capable and so is Philcourt, who staged a return to the winning list at Te llapa. Pocket Venus and Saecone are possibilities but most support may Jie accorded Valmint Our Jean Mintlaw TUAKAU STAKES Two year olds; 5 furlongs Cillas 9.(i: Lovaals 8.5; , Mysito 7.13; Surpai 7.8; The Dude 7.8; Pacifist 7.8; Ball Ivor 7.8; Airport 7.8; Little Willonyx 7.8; Landsman 7.8; Tea Lass, Prudent Chain Acre 7.5; Horcke 7.2; Paymaster, Baaucoup, Auburn Lad, Agricola, Oneten, Deanna Durbin, Golden Bcnnet, Rara Avis 7.0.

Tlie Whangarei owned and trained Cillas will be remembered for a good third in the Great Northern Foal Stakes and it seems as though the handicapper also has a memory. Mysito, on the score of his recent win, will probably start favourite and should be hard to head. Surpni and Agricola arc likely. Favourites may be Mysito Agricola Surpai

DYNES FULTON MEMORIAL HACK HANDICAP I Nine furlongs White Rajah 9.12; Royal Message 8.12; Selwyn 8.7: Veritable 8.2; Sunny Downs 8.2; Clipper 8.2; Melvanui 8.2; Loombination 8.0; First Gold Money, Maneroo, Silver Cloud, 7.8; Master Appellant, Sigurd, Norse Lady, Maioro, Bide-a-Wee, Beverley 7.7. Weight may tell with White Rajah, although an apprentice's allowance may be claimed. Royal Mes sage should go well and a possible improver is Selwyn. Clipper, First Gold Money. Maneroo and Silver Cloud will be prominent. The topweight seems a logical first choice and the first three should be White Rajah Selwyn Maneroo PUKEKOHE HANDICAP Six furlongs Maxam 8.2; Lornacre 8.0; Orwcre 7.13; Brazilian 7.12; Silver Quex 7.9; Sunola 7.9; Bronze Moth 7.9; Silver Stick 7.8; Tosh 7.4; Penzance 7.3; Te Kawiti 7.1; Aero King, Valimecu, Noitaro, Little Artist /.0. Maxam will be accorded support after training gallops and O.rwerc appeals most of the next three on the list. Silver.Quex finished fourth on both days at To Aroha and should show improvement after those efforts as she appeared to be a bit on the burly side. Sunola is good but a better prospect may be Bronze Moth, who ran Lexden close last Saturday and who will be racing on his home track. All below him are of a class capable of winning and it will surprise if the favourite is successful in this event. Likely fancies include Silver Quex Bronze Moth Valimeeit BUCKLAND HACK HANDICAP Six furlongs. ' Pasture 8.11; Sir Lysander 8.10Sir Tommy 8.5; Hunter's Rose 8.3; Gold Wings 8.3; Right Royal 8.1: Estra 7.12; Bronze Emerald 7.9; I'm perial Eagle 7.9; Telsom, Tavern Song, Orally, Ta'ne Mohotu, Royal Fawkes, Loyal Grant, Mio Generale 7.7. None on the minimum appeals ; and most support may be for Pasture Hunter's Rose Bronze Emerald
