When Takapuna decided to cut hurdle events m favor of high weights, it did the right thing so , far as receiving large entry and acceptance fees are concerned. THERE are eighteen m tljie High 1 "Weight, with Whaka King on top, but only 181bs. above the minimum. Racing at Te s Kuiti should improve him and. he has the pace if he can i only go the distance of nine furlongs. Both Mac Hall and Big Bertha are winners among the middle-weighted section. If she is started, and her bulk does not worry her on the turning track, there Is every reason to expect Big Bertha to loom up after her meritorious dash to victory at the right end of six furlongs at the Dargaville fixture. In fact, she appears particularly well placed m this class. . ! Lord Abbey ran second m a mile race at Ellerslie m the winter, while Glena Bay's form at Te Kuiti must give Carroll's charge some show. Bizarro ran a good circuit at Ellerslie recently and his ability to gain a poaitidn may help him. The rest are mostly of the hurdle class, but some of them have pace, notably Royal Form, Pourl, Rahepoto and Potoanui. l A pair to flght their way into ■ the picture at the right end may be ' BIG BERTHA, ' BIZARRO. i iiiiiniiiiiiumiiimiiiiuiiiiiiiimiiuuiiimiiumiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiinniiiiiiiitiiiiiitn
