OVER TO NAPIER PARK

Just An Ordinary Day's Sport Is Promised

Napier Park will see the spring meeting on Saturday and little interest will be evinced.

VTOMINATIONS were poor and ao1N oeptances, when they close, will find very ordinary class fields. In fact, It is going to be hard to work up any enthusiasm. The Bay two-year-olds will get their first outing m the Prince of Wales Stakes, of half a mile, Local touts will be able to tell some* thing about the best of the small bunch. Kinross has been talked of for several maidens now and m the Trial he should come horne — if he is ever going to. Mount Shannon was backed 'In a better field at Marton the. other day— so that can be taken as a guide. If Royal Elm is all right again he will make a lot of trouble for those m the ( Greenmeadows Hurdles. He has the pace and can Jump. Lieutenant Bill is due for a win any time now. The big race will see a poor field m numbers and quality. Gaze has good flat performances and he would only need to be properly warmed up to do the necessary.

Kalos heads the list m the Ahurirl Handicap and he won at his last outing : — at Dannevirke. He is unlucky, but he should be able to hold his own here. Kaihoro was fast last year as a two-year-old, but she may need the racing. One. that has it is Knightlike, whloh was made favorite at Wanganui last week. With all his weight it will be hard to head Comical off m the High Weight Handicap. He is a class above the others. One that may trouble them under this scale is Pale Star. Joy King figures m the Railway, but he may be backward — Jefferd's horses generally are. The horse with the racing is Kaiti and though he won't have Roy Reed to steer him he should be able to win with someone else. Two that should be favored m the concluding event are Royal Lineage and Abisoghei. • Royal Lineage ran good raoes under difficulties at the National, while the distance will give Abisogne time to get his feet; . .
