MINOR EVENTS

Nothing Outstanding On Form

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Auckland Rep.) Minor events at Te Rapa on Saturday are tricky because there is nothing outstanding on form. ; CVEN promising class' is missing from the races. The Waimai Hurdles is full of probabilities. If Stormy had public experience over timber his pace would appeal. A trio which have, the right form over the small battens are Bourn, Uralla and Ripon Abbey. ; '. ■ '. . The Trial will be run m two divisions, and the majority are unknown as racing proposirtions. Punters will need to be modest. Valda and Bert Hinkler are a pair Sn the first division which have shown up; in recent engagements, while Be-: calmed and Tanerlri are whispered as giving promise. . The second division lot includes Red Lion, one that is likely to make good sooner or later. Of the others nothing of real note is publicly known. ; Flying Prince, on his victory at Avondale, should take the Tamahere Stakes, but it would not require a. good one from the unknown lot to bring about his defeat. The Claudelands High Weight should find Te . Koroke, Waltzer. ■ and Mervette m the picture. Loveband' has a chance ; to make good among the moderate northerners engaged m the Clarkin, but • Oscar, Kerry Dance and Respirator can all muster up some pace. Lady's Boy has more pace than the rest engaged m the Hautapa Hack. Abbey Queen's close' third to Maori Boy and. Storm Fiend at Avondale reads well for her prospects. Speechless Is good enough if fit 'to be m the final fight, while Nurjahan, Te Waka and Valda are on the ■'.improve.-" ■ ' j ( niwti n h if iininf hh M imoi (if mimhi (Mniiiifiifi Hf ifiiiiitf iti f itiHfHnnfif h ri i f if ifitii i ri firintif HithMi rtf i if (I
