•THE back-marker, Great Bingen, has 1 been set to give away 42yds. This will not'trouble him, but the task of negotiating a big field will. Should the, number of stai-ters. be reduced on acceptance day, then Great Bingen will engage the attention of the judge at the finish. ■ He will concede Ahuriri 12yds., and if Bryce's horse gets a good : run he will be Great Bingeh's most difficult opponent. - The small course at Greymouth is all against back-markers, hence it is imperative for them to enjoy a. good passage to get .near the money.

Of the front divisions, Audacipu^and King Pointer, will offer stout .resistance, but can they beat Peter 1 Biifgen?
