Form Horses Ehgaged in The North PROSPECTS TO-MORROW

(By Telegraph-

AUCKLAND., This day. Another very important. fixture in the north is. that .to be staged at To Hapa to-morrow and on Monday by- t,lie Waikato Racing Club. Its spring fixture ihree montns- back was most suecessful, over £42,000 being invested on the openmg day, so it will be interestifig to see if this return can bo improved on torinorrow. Thq course is in good oroer at time of writing. Bobting wiU be wiu and place. ■ • - Speculation is certain to take a wide range in the principal race, the Storey Memorial Handicap, with ite fine field, and moa! money may be forthcoming in support of the chanceti .of Mazir, Scotland, Dark Shadow, Master Brierly, Ti'ger Gaiu, Lagoon and Shy. The most f avoured horse . is Mazir, but he may b'e "hampered by the ' large field and then Tigtr Gain, a. visifor with a fiue reeord this season, may come-iuto his own, for he is nicely placed and will be hard to beat. - Golden Sheila rather dominates the position in the open sprint, the President 's Handicap, "for she . is nieeiy placed and if in form wiU certainly.be difficult to head ofif. Mata Hari'a Ellerslie form last month was impressiye and a repetition may se8 her finish in 'the money. Other good prospects to-morrow appear to be HuntsmSn's Chorus, Calcutta (HuidJea), and Kilonsa.
