FILLED WELL

Minor Events At Dargaville (From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Auckland Rep.) It can be said that the minor events for opening day of the Dargaville fixture at Avondale have filled too well to suit punters. AND there is really nothing outstandIng on this season's form. The Maiden will probably be run m two divisions. There will be money for Lunette, Eager Rose, Blue Spear and Tea Money m the first lot, which may go to- Lunette — good enough to be placed third at Avondale, since which it has probably improved. The second division includes Sulla, Red' Lion, Brampton, Mussie and Monetize, all of which have some claim for recommendation. Red Lion and Monetize may be the pair m at the death. The Taka Taka Hack six includes many possibilities, notably recent winners m Miss Mercia, Maori Boy and Grand Tea, while Liaison, Miss Potoa, Winsome Boy, Vallar, Partial Eclipse, Air King, Exalted and Bulolo are all worthy of respect. . The last named is without* a race this spring, and m his case it is a question of whether he can hang on. The judge may have , to decide between Miss Mercia, Grand Tea and Liaison. If Quincoma is ever going to win another hurdle race it seems his great chance is m the Kaihu mile and ahalf, but he will find the "fit" Mangani hard to struggle against. . Piet's third at Ellerslie . gives . out some hope for him. Carl Idem's second to First Money at Ellerslie seems to suggest that Flying Prince, Awamutu and Love Call are up against it to keep him out of the money m the Nursery. If Tidal 1 s form m big handicaps is any indication, with a strong boy aboard he should give the Awakino Hack Mile a shake. BizaiTo, Eager Rose and War Officer are a likely trio m the places, if Tidal proves unreliable. King Smock was out m front m a big handicap at Te Rapa, on which form he looks like proving a nuisance to Stormy, Schorr, Ohinemuri and Lomint m the Hobson Handicap Mile.
