Trig Station 8.8; Bronze Emerald 8.(5; Prival 8.1; Constant Star, Rival, Hot ■ Shot, Loch Acre, Mikiiiion, Phil Vaal.s, Stokowski, Veyana, Valley Maid 8.0. It looks like Esquire Hum-a-Song Loch Acre 11.55: GREEN LANE STEEPLECHASE, of £350; about 2y 2 miles.— Begorrah 10.12: Bells of Bow 10.9; Gascync 9.11; Celtic Lad 9.9; Tc Ronga, Right Royal, Master Appellant, Potoa Lad, Floodlight, Tanc Maliotu, Etcetera, Trust 9.0. Punters may prefer Te Ronga Gascyne Begorrah 12.35: JERVOIS HANDICAP (2nd Division), of £350; 7 furs. —Clinch 9.10; Hunter's Night 8.12; Ivilcash 8.11; Philemup 8.9; First Gold Money 8.8; Straihire 8.7; StarVaab 8.6; Calshot 8.5; British Talent. Expellent, Gay Bell, Joan Peel, May fair, Pleuron, Silver Glow, Taite, Venture, Te Haka 8.0. It would seem that a lightweight is likely in this field and preference may be shown for the chances of Joan Peel Te Haka British Talent 1.20: PENROSE HURDLES, of £350; 1% miles —General Ruse 10.13; Sigurd 10.5; Te Hai 10.4; High Delight 9.12; London 9.8; Very Glad 9.6; Vaalso 9.4; Racewliip 9.2; Thrust, Valspe.ar, Right Royal, Smilin' Thru, Clansman, Rua King Fat Boy, Melvantii 9.0. Favourites may include Vaalso Right Royal General Ruse 2.5: GREAT NORTHERN HURDLES* of £1500, miles—Erination 11.11; King Rey 11.7; Jewelled Girdle 10.2; Enjoyment 10.1; Stream line 10.0; All Irish, Mio Lume, Aus sia Ra 9.13; Knight of Australia 9.8; General Ruse 9.7; Survaylon, Lapidarian, Innes Lad, Baldric. High Delight, Pyrenees, Cliikara. Okauia 9.0. Erination and King Rey will not find it easy to concede so much weight to some of those on a lower scale and one of the best prospects is Jewelled Girdle, a dual winner at Te Rapa. Enjoyment had his run of success halted but is capable and Would not surprise. The southerner Streamline is one of the best stayers in the field and should be it in at the finish. The same applies to Knight of Australia and Aussie Ra. Innes Lad will not go out unsupported after his good effort at Tc Rapa and he will have the added benefit of the best hurdle horseman in New Zealand to-day. Baldric will probably be reserved for the steeplechase, although his connections may be attracted by Lhe double. At the time of writing, allowing for possible seratchings. and final track work, which may influence bettors in the choice, a trio appealing arc Jewelled Girdle Streamline Knight of Australia

2.45: CORNWALL HANDICAP, of £600; 1% miles—Royal Appellant 9.0; Gold Vaals, Cheval de Volee 8.18; Namara 8.11; Jack Tar 5.9: Pirate King 8.5; Bronze Moth 8.1: Hot Box 7.11; Tidewaiter 7.10; Valmint 7.5; Javola, Erliclc 7.3; Llandafl 7.2; Kelly,. Calorie, Silver Cloud, Day Wind, Saccone 7.0. Interest will entre mainly on Valmint's effort to register a win in this race. He has run three successive seconds in the Cornwall, a great record, and as he is lightly weighted and in capital trim, should be responsible for a performance. Most opposition may come from Gold Vaals, Namara, Bronze Moth, Tidewaiter, Llandaff and Saccone. Public choice may be Valmint Gold Vaals Saccone 3.30: HUNT CLUB HURDLES, ■ £350; 2 miles —Hirangi 11.7; Mahala 11.2; British Sovereign 10.0; Makoi 9.12; Centaurus 9.11; Te Ronga, Romani 9.5; Sockettcs, Prince Tractor, Okauia, Red Appellant, Brandon Hall, Semiarch 9.0.
