Opportunity For Prince Lv ,■ j ' ■■ M ,■ _ . . (Prom "N.Z. Truth's" Special Auckland Rep.) It is surprising to find nineteen payments made m conneotion with the Pio Plo Hurdles on the Te Kuiti programme, •i. : STILL, the class engaged is mostly moderate, with only lllbs. between the top-marker,, Potoanui, and the dozen which figure m at,9st, Potoanui and King Amans are both winners over the small sticks, but it is doubtful whether they will appeal as much as Prince Lv, one of the Cambridge aspirants for hurdle honors, which promises to go further m the stake-earning line than most of his opponents. This son of Lucullus was only beaten a neck by. Bourne on the opening day of the big steeplechase meeting early m the month, but suffered a rick m that contest which prevented another appear- : ,ance. -'■■:■■ ' ' • .•■'■' ■' Provided he has got over the trouble, he willloom into the picture and take a power of beating. Archeno. may make matters interesting m the early part, but is not exactly a finished jumper, while Scot Free is more than a possibility. Foxhound ran second to Waltzer m the Carbine Plate, so has some pace. Marble Mount, Farndon, Bahadur, Bright Day* Peketahl and Kaihoremai are all hurdle hopes, also Spalmore and Pai Ana. The rest are only moderate m quality. When the right end comes m sight, three 1 to be m the cut-up should be PRINCE LU, POTOANUI and KING AMANS. OVER COUNTRY 7IRCON has got over the trouble he *■* „ met with prior to the Great. Northern meeting and was . schooled over a few steeplechase obstacles at Bller-. slie last week with Sam Henderson m the saddle, giving a satisfactory display. , He may get one across country before the winter season is over. .■ • '■'■•, ■■•'' ' „* Bright Pay will-be at Ellerslie this week-end. He's far from being a good proposition as a hurdler.
