FOR FLAT PERFORMERS

Big Field Engaged In Mile and (From* "N.Z. Truth's"-/ Special Auckland Representative.) In the matter of numbers, the Auckland province has it well over the visitors m connection with the Cornwall Handicap.

ONLY three real visitors have been paid-up for m a, team, of twenty acceptors. It can be said of the visiting trio Yoiria, Manly and Nucleus,: they all have some qualifications for' inclusion. They are not a great lot' m this ten furlong event, but they are. the best the north has been accustomed to this season. , , . . t And the form has been so varying that it has been hard to follow. Te Kara's "come-back" is again predicted since he filled third berth m .a mile at Te Rapa a few weeks back. . He certainly likes the mud and won the race five years back. He was up. fourth last year with 10.6, but he is getting up m years. Eden Hall, is admittedly a mudlark, but his iform has not been fully encouraging this season. Toma is down at. a handier impost than last year, when he could get no nearer than seventh. However, with B.IS he may be worth consideration, especially after his second at Egmont. ' i . . . High Pitch would, only need to be m his Te Rapa form to be the real pick of the tribe under wintry conditions. : ■ . Rumor says he has been experiencing teeth trouble. . At his best, "Truth" will have . High Pitch as the most likely. , ■ Gbriiiax is doing his work lika one which relishes the business and he has had the hard racing to fit him, i Town Bank ia the former mud-lark which will carry "Xiucky" Samson's colors, and it will be interesting to note, whether a "come-back" can be staged on that account! ..-■'■' Town. Bank's, placed form since .his return to the turf throws out a little encouragement. ' - , Transformer is dpwn 261bs. — -a good drop from last year, but his form haa lacked regularity. Lomiht, last \year's Winner, Is at home m the mvd — the thicker the bet-

ter. She has been coming on fast since" her only race this season at r Avondale. Princess Ronnie will have to be risked m the mud, though her pace ' is right. , Stormy and Papatu have had solid , racing'.ip fit them. Micrpineter and Schorr are hack, winner's \with possibilities, but Master Do'on does not, appear as good as he , was.

Queen Arch occasionally bobs up into a' place, when least" expected, while neither Manly nor Nucleus can be treated as "hopeless" candidates. . ■:'■■>:■ Nucleus likes 'trie going and her winning high weight form at Tren-. ; tham was good enough to bring her prospects into account. : ; . ; :- Punters are set no easy task; though, if High Pitch is really unfit to show his best, the three to do best may: be: CORINAX, • i '' i . : '' ■ YOMA.ancl ■" ''. ■ '■■'.- '''"';.?
