FOR BIG RACE

Trio That Should Hold Own

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Christchurch Rep.) -Though half of the candidates claim engagements m other races', the field, for the Rangiora Cup, is much better class tharv it -was last year. ' • ; ' ■; ;..■ : ; /■ :■■,■ -V'^v : POUNT CAVOUR and Pb^a^-ara *" both coming to hand, -the flatter more quickly. . . -V [ The consistent Thomdai*' l« ? fighting fit again and will take a power of stopping. Sir Roy might do with the race, while Rotor has been restricted to light exercise with an occasional gallop since, the National meeting. • - With the acceptances not declared; at time of writing it is not known whether Hoylake will start. Front Rank won the event last year, but her Wingatui form was poor.\Gay Sonnet will moat likely be, reserved for one of the shorter races. The only other lightweight with i reasonable prospects is Malmsey* If Hoylake is started his prospects read the best, but if he does not pay up, backers will consider th*e chances of Thorndale, Footfall and Rotor. ;
