NOTES AND COMMENTS

By Glencoe. The weather is fine, and the going promises to be guod for the Carterton meeting, which opens to-day. In the Members' Handicap, Demadea may bo favourite, but Probate will have a largo following for the form slio showed at Masterton and Wellington. The top-weight, Momae, is a better class than those she will meet in the C'artorton Hack Handicap. Her form when sho defeated Pretty liobby at Otaki will draw support for her to-day. Pacific Slope, who ran a splendid race in the big handicap at Trentham on the opening daj r ,may be a good favourite in the Welter Handicap, and now that he has struck form tho Trentham-trained animal should be able to go on and improve his Wellington showing, Of tho lot in the Trial Plate nothing readers better than Restful, who was unlucky when laced at Lovin.

Eulogy, the dam of the unbeaten Humbug, is a mare imported by Mr. George Currio, and as a two-year-old ran third to The Tetrnrcli and Stornaway in tho Doncaster Champagne Stakes.
