Rawke;s Bay holdg a airbng hand ia this event wita Oontact/ John Charlcs, lcldo and Red Rufus, The top weight, Lied Sun, .is nerhaps ope of the pest hurdlers in thp Domijiion, but with 104 ne has a big load to earry. Beau Gallante goes f ast and is fi good jumper. Red Manfred is weil thuught of in Taranaki, but racing experiehce may tell against him in this strong field. Ethio'p is held in high regard,» but he failed at Woodvilie. Of the light-weights Kentucky Song inay do best, What wili carry more monetary support than JOHN CHARLES, CO.NTACT and RED SUN? 1.10; FQXTON CUP, ■ li mile. Pukeko is in great form, and his defeat in the Wairarapa Cup last Saturday may be overlooked. Onewhetu was second to Master Cyklon in his last start, but his form this season has been below expectations. Bona Bay has form on her side, while Gay Boy, on his running in the Hawke's Bay Cup, must be a serious consideration, Lapei ia said to be in great heart. Davistoek recently won a double in the Nelson district. Gold Mission has yet to win over this distance. Tahurangi and Even Money appeal moet of the lightweights. The favourites may be LAPEL, GAY BOY, and TAHURANGI1.55: HIMITANGI HACK. 6 furlongs. Aii-ing is also engaged in the open seven-furlong race. Royal Record won a double at Otaki, while Golden Chest is another recent winner. Bawning Light goes very fast, and although she has not raced for'some time., comes to hand quickly. Eara, Marjory Daw and Biamond Cutter have all won recently, but the balanee are without winning form. Three that may appeal most are DAJWNING LIGHT, GOLDEN CHEST. and MARJORY BAW. 2.40: HACK AND HUNTERS' STEEPLECHASE. 2 i mile*. Sporting Song has connlition and l'orm on his side. If there ie anything in the saying "the madder they are the better they jump," then Hunting Jay wili be oue of the favourite ones. Royal Banquet does not appeaj. Battleground and the Padnos bracket must be considered, as both have raced recently over the country. Petyarch has speed and jumping ability. Rioghail won at Otaki over the big obstacles. Croyden may prove' the best of the others. The favourites may be PETBARCH, BATTLEGROUNB-PADNOS braeket and SPORTING SONG.3.20: KEBBELL MEMORIAL. 7 furlongs. Passion Fruit may be overlooked in this his first start for some time. Red Manfred, on Woodville form, wili eomxnand attention, as also wili Gold Mission, but Essex may find the distance a little too short. Sir Nigel, on -track work, appeals. Airing goes a merry seven, but Solaria appears sadly out of form. Hunting Lodge and High Test read best of the remainder, Most money may be invested on SIR NIGEL, HIGH TEST and RED MANFRED 4.0; MOUTOA HACK. 8i furlongs. Hunting Majd has her work cut out on the top of tfie haadicap- Ruaform is a consideration, although a hurdler, . Erebus, so far, has done hest over short courses. War Lap ran poorly in Ris recent starts. Rotoma was tried over a middle distance for the first time last Saturday to llnish third? Teriy it? ; overdue. Evqn Mpney is a recent wjnner, with The Bandwichman a possxbility pn his second in the Waira'rapa Cup last week-cnd.
