AT WHANGAREI

Prospects For Cup And Flying

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Auckland \ Rep.) ' Though the Whangarei Gold Cup Handicap is of sufficient valije to have influenced a larger acceptance list, the eight remaining m can be depended upon to provide an interesting contest to-day. CDENHALL m such a small field has *-* his best chance so far this season and knows the course, having won there previously. Delightment wants it soft, which is doubtful at this time of the year, while eleven furlongs may bS just a shade too far for Gala Day. Sleepy Sol may also be referred to m the same strain, but has the pace to show, up. '. ' Ballachulish won last autumn over the same track and then lost form, while Athenry may find the journey too far. It will not be the distance that would trouble Golden Krist, but rather the going and the class. As for Papatu, he must be getting better each race and' if he is thought an Auckland Cup possibility by his trainer- owner, should be prominent with his handy impost. Perhaps the judge will have to decide between • EDEN HALL, f PAPATU and DELIGHTMENT. The Flying finds High finance m to attempt to go one better than at Thames, where Nancy Lee headed her off each day Ihe last furlong. There is no Nancy Lee to worry her' to-day and perhaps Fred Earl's filly may just last it out. Awarere will be making his first appearance for the season, but if thoroughly ready, would be the real . danger, for at his best things can be expected from him. Serang and Dav.e are the other possibilities, but if High "Finance is to win over six furlongs, to-day is her chance — if she can catch Awarere m want of a race. *■
