W.R.C. MEETING Problems for Patrons To»morrow REVIEW OF RUNNERS

WELLINGTON, This 'Day. Prosent indications point to the opening day of the Wellington Eacing Club's spring meeting being favoured with fine weather. The course propfer has never been in mere perfect spring condition than it is just now, and horses which do not apprecihte hard tTacks should be in their olement. I. Tinsley, traiiier of Sniall Boy, Who galloped well with Oaddle yesterday mofniiig, stated that there \.as no certainty his charge Would contest the Wellington Handicap to-niorrow, or, in fact, any race of the meeting. He may be reserved for the Kicearton meeting. Hazoor and Padishah have been withdr&Wfl. frohi the Wellington Hahdfeap, but the race still bears a very opeu appearhnce. Wild Chase looks ih wohderful order aild as the gding is likely to suit him he will be one of the f ancied runners. His three-year-old form was outstanding, and he is confldently expected to carry his 9.2, Cuddle worked well yesterday, but she will have to establish a record to scoro with 9.9 in to-morrow's handicap and, as well as she has been working, it is now doubtful, judging by her race at Masterton, whether she is ae gooa a» she was at this tinie last yeaL Afgentic's Timaru form wae so impressive, and he is such a sound stayer, that he ffiust be given a chance of repeating lhst year's success in this event. He should beat Silver Streak, although the latter is strongly fancied ih the South Islaiid. Huhting Cat's Masterton forin was full of pfohiise, but Arctic King may have made more improvement as the result of his Opaki outing where he was second to Might at a mil§. He worked well yesterdhy and he is quite at home over the distance. if Small Boy runs he will be one of ihe favouriteS. He looks very forward a's also does Ceihe Abbas and ih fighting their Mitchelson Cup duel ovbr again these two might finish very close to the money. Sunee looks to be the best of the lightweights. His half-mile on the piough at Trentham yesterday was tte befet 0f the inorhiiig, ihdiehtifig that liiS Masterton effort has done him good. Arctic King, Wild Chase hnd Small Boy look the pick of the fieidj With Sunett the best lighttveight prospect, The Shorts Handicap. Paper Slipper, Maori Sohg and Whitling are the prime fancies for the SliortS liandicap. Although the former hhs hot faced this seasOn he is very forwaid and his 6table is confident' he will ruh well. Whirling has derived benefit from his Auckland racing. Joviality and Pakanui may flhd the class of the topweights a little too strdng," hut Black Thread should cause them some bother if he fuhs up to last SeasOn 'a forin. The Wellesley Stakes is regarded a)s a four-cOrnered battle betweeh Surmotiht, Protectdr, Te Hero and Gay Son. Excepting Surmount's defeat of Proteetor in the Debutante Stakea at Wanganui, the quartet have not met. Te Hero beat little of any aecoiiht at Avondale, but he is much above the average while Gay Son won very attraclively at Masterton and is sure to be improved with the experience.- The Surmount party will not hear of their colt being beaten by Pi'otefetor evett though the Mtter has won the Avondale Stakes and Nutsery Handicap aiid the Auckland WelCOittO Stakes sittce SUfnioUnt ineasured him ofif at Wanganui. There is very little public form available in the Taita Handicap, for two-year-olds, the best of whoto may bb Twenty Grand, Diana Totrix, Godftey and Lotd Cavendish. J ournet, Eedolent and Donegal havo the best credcntial'3 ijh the Glen Hurdles. John Charles wdiild be assieted by soi't going, but is hot likely to got those conditiohs. In Spito Of his Weight Eed Sun has prospects ior he has been working and schooling ekceptiofially well. The hack faces present Teal pi'oblems t with their abundance of nlixod form and 1 large fielcbs. Middle, Alunga, Cardsharper, Eollicker, Son and Heir, Top liow, Dawning Light, Aureus, Free Gola and Sulieman can all be counted among the pOSBibilities in the Eimutaka Handicap, and in the October Mile LazyboneS, The Bigot, Lueullus Lad, lioyal Miastrel, Bluffer and Tidewaiter reproseui tho best of the form. # Riding Engagemeuta liidiiig eugagoments havo been announced for to*morrow as followai— B.
