GUIDE FROM RICCARTON
There will nof be a great deal of northern interest evinced in the annual race meeting at Wingatui to-morrow of the Otago Hunt Club, but as it is the only lixture scheduled for this week and stay-at-home backers may want to try their hand now after a lapse qf time the following suggestions may be found helpful. These are based ugon what was seen at the Grand National meeting recently. ; Sunward Ja form of late has been very good and he won over the country. He is back to hurdling to-morrow and in the Sea ,View Hack and Hunters' Hurdfes he seems a reasonable prospect. Kelly the. Crow found the class opposed to him in the. cross-country races at Riccarton a bit too good and back to his own class in the Otago Hunt Cup he may be. good enough to more than hold his own. Araboa wept a couple of good races among the open sprinters at Riccarton, and if he can ge,t the extra couple of furlongs he will be a hard horse to. beat in the Tally-Ho Handicap, run over a mile. Valantua was improvfng witk eaeb race at Riccarton and he. is. one of tho bpst hacks engaged to-morrow. • He figures in two races. the President's Handicap, five furlongs, anfi the Vauxhall Handicap, in both of which he. is nieely placed in • the . weights agqinst some moderate perormers.
