Q|r cojrresJß|ndli'i < " Crackshot " was fairly sucpessfu^^in^^h^^tips " for the Weillngtob Meeting yesterday. Although be gave but two winners, still his selection for the Steeplechase was the only correct one amongst all the other sporting writers. In the course of an exhaustive analysis of the New Zealand Cup weights, •• Hotspur " in the Weekly Press considers the following horses are really well in : — Prime Warden, Clanranald, Hippomenes, Saracen, Outpost, Pegasus, Skirmisher, \Veatmere, Thames and Bespoffs^'*Tßfe- vw two top weights be leaves out of consideration, as St Hippo- js onrtbe s^jk list, and Merganser may hot be" seen at her best this spring." " Spectator " considers -BtepniaJt: the bes^^-ttwated^S^Bl**'*^' 1 three top weights. He agrees With L " Hotspur " in thinking that Prime Warden, Clanranald, and Hipnoj^enes, are weli in. Crackshothas been leniently dealt withj-; his best performances, being * , qoite ignored. He; urniEs -r^tf* JJoHlty A * is set td give more weigh*? iof Skirmisher than the latter is entitled to. Of tbe other coming three-year-olds, Rfespontfe, Outpost and Pegasus are lightly dealt with. To sum up, at, present he thinks ! > Stepniak, The Workman, Melinite. Skirmisher, Loyalty, Weßtmere, P^asiri, Outpost, and Gitano, may provide the winner, and confessas a strong liking forJ the three-year-old division." "Early Bird " in the Australian Star ' says :— That most wonderfttl : pony: Mara'./ bean 11 hands 3in, earned the crusher of 12st lllbs, to victofry itf the Little Bridge AH DjvarC Handicap. There can be no doubt about Marabean being the Ch4mpidrf : bT ' v the world in bis class." J t)
