MINOR WANGANUI RACES

Form of Recent Weeks Should

There is everything m the minpr races at Wanganui to-day for the making of a first-class day's sport.

rVERT ..race has drawn a tip-top Lv acceptance, and the only fault to be found is that some of the fields are a little too big. The Maiden starts the day and with an eight-stone 'flat rate some of the jockeys will be going short to doit. ' •'. .1 ■■■;•.. <*■ Three engaged that Showed .pace at 3larton are The Warden, Marcia and %lack Maire. The Warden put up a fine tperform-. ance j m getting third arid •h«i' would need .to' 1 -improve only a little to be hard to beat. v i^ •'' ■ ; The best of the' others: may .^be Teremoana, which ran into ,the money at Dannevirke. ■■;■• ; ;: : Cohesion Is getting 1 up m the weights and>he is now set to give weight to Gaze, which ran second. In the National Hurdles. ,\ ' Both fit and well it is doubtful if he could' do it. ■■'.'■ . •'■■ / . .;;•., Anyhow, the pair will probably "be entrusted with : the cash m the : Okehu Hurdles. ■ ■ r '

Two unlucky horses at Marton last week- were Singleton' and Gold Cure. They are m the Putiki Handicap today and one or the other should be favorite. '', Another engaged is Pale Star, which has been carrying all before him. Tha class isa bit better this time. King .Lv may be saved for, the six and will thus . drop out of the "Seafield Handicap.: . ■ . • In his absence several will be backed, but the one liked is Partaga. ]■' v He is. such an honest brute and is so consistent that he cannot be . passed by. Pangolin is going great guns at the present time and even with the rise m class he has an undeniable chance. : If Lady's Boy la started In 1 the Durle Handicap and. is served with a good rider there will be a rush to get on. . ; . , 1 He has a ton. of pace and he will go round the turns on one wheel. Avon Court has ' come- down from Ellerslie, but, outside Lady'g Boy, the best of the others may be Knightlike. He was beaten by "a good hack at Marton last week. : •• r . ; ■:■=..,
