MITCHELSON CUP MAY GO TO DOUBLE CHANCE

Big fields are carded for the Auckland Racing Club’s meeting, which opens at Ellerslie to-day. No doubt speculation will take a wide range in the Mitchelson Cup, but a trio that may fight out the finish are Double Chance, Valley Boy and Oaklahoma. Judging on the manner ni which he won the Avondale Guineas, Tauloch, which has done well m the interim, should prove the hardest to beat in the Great Northern Guineas. Northern track watchers have a good w§rd fo? Ozami, which did well as a two-year-old, and the son of Nizami may provide most opposition to Tau loch. Horses in form include:—

Gordon Hack Handicap: Ist Div: Rare Fox, Kind Regards. 2nd Div. Vice Chancellor, Akbar. Trial Hack Hurdles: Master Ted, Flying Jim, Bronze Pay. Great Northern Guineas: Tauloch, Ozami, Beau Conte. , Shorts Handicap: Master Coronach, Coonbridge, Contango. Mitchelson Cup: Double Chance, Valiev Boy, Oaklahoma.
