The Fancies For The : j Rimutafe

The- first big field of the day is struck by vTrentham. punters when the Rimutaka Handicap comes along for decision. V :. TWENTY- SEVEN ;.. have made ' the ■ ■ .' payment for the Seven furlong hack race', and with a goodly: portion entitled to respect the way of the transgressor is going to-be hard.. Panther, Which was expected m the WiriteV Cup, heads the way. He races weir at Trentham and may atone for his; failures of August. ■: Mendip is more- than an ordinary class hack and he can be depended upon to run a great seven* . „. . ■Gold Cure failed at Mastertbn, but then there '• is- a chance that tl\e race would do him, more good than harm. : Tahagra and T.eri have been kicking around lately- and they will have their friends, especially 'the former.. Mborgas failed when expected last Saturday and not many will want to be with 'either Spear Miss or Rotowhero. Billion; and Shining Star have their chances. Abisogne, though not able to begin; 1 can run on at the finish. Courageous and Rameses were first and second respectively . at Masterton and- Courageous .should, do the better of the two. , ■: . King. Quex was unlucky at the same meeting, while King's Jest was favorite m a maiden at Hastings the other day; ■ Most will look for. the winner. from the bunch near the top of the handicap. It may be that it will be found from MENDIF? and GOLD CURE.
