LOOKS AN OPEN RACE

Big Sprint At Wingatui Is Hard Probletti

• (From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Chrlstchurch Representative.) There is little form for punters to* go on m the field for the Electric Handicap at Wingatui. ;

PHH scratching pen took a heavy toll 1 of the original entrants, such good performers as Celerity 11., Comic Song, Gay 'Sonnet, Childsplay, Money Mine, Father O'Fiynn and Rin Tin Tin declining their engagements. Money Order and Booster head the list, a*, xi • ±, ,;, .. „ At this if me of the year the latter is erred, as JVloney Cder looks big and In need of racing. Paperchase is a good-class perform•r over the distance, but may require the race. Royal Saxon would be suited by a slightly longer journey. Most! attention will be focussed on Silver Paper, which is fancied for the Guineas on the second; day. He has thoroughly recovered from 1 bis foot Injury, and scored a convincing win a,t the Otago Hunt. Since then, BUI Stone has had him at Rlccarton and he has done some brilliant gallops. ,

Goblin Market is another Guineas candidate, and the open sprint _ will probably be more to his liking than the mile course for the Guineas. Silver Coot has the most recent ana reliable form to go on, but he has yet to prove himself a genuine and consistent performer. Spean Bridge has been working well ■ t Rlverton, but will probably require a race or two. The Linacre colt, Erne, had fair form at Gore* last October when he ran seconds to Celerity 11. and Comic Song, but has been off the scene since then, He is the sort, however, that Js always likely to bob up and win a good race. The result looks very open, and those-to take a hand m the finish should be: SILVER PAPER, SILVER COOT and : «Ani iri maoub-t 1 GOBLIN MARKET.
